I like a couple of the RH options, but the standard QB is massively disappointing. It looks identical, which is a tough sell for $450. Take it with a grain of salt from a lefty, but I feel like every Betti OTR offering is so frustrating because I want to support the brand but they make no attempt for the south paws.

[Konklifer]

The 7 & 16 look great.

[elcgolf]

I love the finishes on the QBs, but from address, the hosel placements are always weird. They’re not quite center but also not back far enough to be a traditional heel shafted putter. Not sure what type of stroke these are designed for.

Love the high toe on the Queen B 6's. However, I do wish they would offer the 6SBS in left handed.

Very interesting that the finish almost has a rubber-ish, tackiness to it when you rub your finger on it. But it looks even better in person. Feel is a little softer than the older Queen B I have from like 2018 and the #16 has a real shot as a gamer from all the putting down on my mat

I really like the look of the 16 in the pics for sure!

[dmeeksDC]

I like several of these. The 6 SBS looks sweet. The 8 is interesting. Like a mid-mallet blade. Is that like a double wide or a triple wide in depth? Looks bigger than a double wide but photos can fool. 

The 7 and 16 look cool too. Awesome lines on the 16. 

 

I actually like where Bettinardi places the hosels. Not so heel shafted that they have a lot of toe hang. Midway between heel and middle is perfect for slight arc strokes. I feel like there’s less tendency to twist. I can’t stand the hosel locations on allegedly zero torque putters so for me this offers a nice alternative.

Maybe I am in the minority, but I just cannot warm up to Bettinardi putters. I am currently playing their CB24 irons and love the look and performance. The lines and the graphics on their putters leave me a bit cold. I am sure performance is solid though. I am also a LH, so not many options. Thinking of moving from my SC Newport 2 to a LAB DF3 next.

I don't like the graphics that much, but I do like the shape of the 7 & 16. Hopefully the 16 will be released in another line with better graphics.

[QuigleyDU]

These are always so hit or miss with me. The shapes are always so aggressive. Sometimes it works, others not so much. 

[PNW]

7 and 16 both look great. I really want to see both in person to get a better sense of shape and size but will likely get one of them

[kmcb]

Same ol same ol for us Lefty’s. 
At least give us a different model with each release. 
 

Weird how the 24 Inovai line has each head shape available in LH yet we get the same QB6 time after time. Also not seeing how these are any different except for graphics. 

[DTorres]

Love the honeycomb face milling. Can’t wait to try one.

[dmgiffen]

I’ll probably pick up the QB 8 CS. I’ve always enjoyed the feel of the QB line. 

[I'dRatherBGolfing]

I am loving the shape and design on the 16. Will be interested to see them side by side with the 15 from last year once they come out. 

[BombsIntoTheWoods]

Looks like too much of the same for me, I would have liked a stronger difference. Maybe a different color shade, or something.

[mikes919]

I rolled these in a shop today, really dig the #6 SBS and the #7. I seem to do best with slight arc putters, and prefer slant or flow necks with less than a shaft of offset. These both fit the bill, and the feel is excellent. Noticeably softer feel than the Studio Stock or BB lines, but not mushy. Didn’t think I would like the finish, but it looks great in person.

[TiScape]

Love this one

Me too. Mine comes tomorrow. 

[dmeeksDC]

The finish on these is very nice. Definitely a little richer color than the last version, looks like a bit of rose and brown tones. Less gold looking than the previous. 
 

Rolled several of them. The 7 was my favorite, then the 8 and the 6 SBS. They feel super. I rolled an Odyssey with the white hot face first and then went to these. The Bettinardi feel was far more to my liking.

I really like the shape of the QB8.  Pulled the trigger on the blackout version.

[JMB3]

Blackout QB8 arrived today.  The finish RULES.  And I love the shorter heel-to-toe length.

Looks fantastic. Agree on the blade length. It’s perfect. I was in a store comparing various putters. This is a very nice wide blade. The Odyssey SQS Double Wide looks like a canoe compared to the QB8.

@knudson81 Have you had a chance to get the 16 out on the course yet? Curious how the performance has been.  I’m looking to pick up a blade this year and the 16 is a front runner for me. Loving the finish and the shape. Wish it had a little lighter head weight, but think I could get used to it.

Not on the course as it has been either 25 degrees or 50 degrees and rain here this month! But I did reshaft it with a Fujikura MC 115 Firm and put a Super Stroke Pistol 1.0 grip on. Still loving it on my putting mat and feeling the most comfortable with it compared to anything else at the moment.

Bumping this guy…

 

Anyone still playing theirs?  I rolled some today for the first time and they feel unreal!  Love the darker color.

 

Was never really a fan of the qb6 before, but this one just seems to fit my eye.  So does the 7.  

[Vanderslam9]

@wam78I really like the look of the 7, really nice symmetrical mallet. I have used the SS3 from Betti on and off for years. I see that you also had a custom BB46. Do you feel like the transition from mallet to the QB6 (wide-blade) was pretty easy?

Super easy to transition.  I think the qb6 is more forgiving and stable.   The bb46 is not far from a blade in feel and stability.

I came really close to getting the SBS last night, face feels much better than previous versions, almost warmer than before. The finish is really good too, at address that hosel just hugs the center line a wee bit too much but it's better than it used to be, I think a degree flat would fix that for me though. I was starting it on my line almost intuitively at the store and that's about all I can ask for other than feel, pace was a little hot but that's something I adjusted to fairly quickly.
