Bettinardi is a brand best known for producing some of the best putters in the game today. I’ve tested a few of their putters in the past and I’m a big fan. Every Bettinardi product looks and feels high end and the craftsmanship always stands out, so I was excited to get my hands on the HLX 6.0 wedge.
