Bettinardi Golf continues their 25th-anniversary celebration with another limited-edition putter.The BB28 Slotback is the ninth putter in the series.The Slotback cut-out and cavity lines provide a unique alignment scheme.Available Sept. 28 with a MSRP of $900.
Another month has passed which means it is time for the next Bettinardi XXV Anniversary limited-edition putter release—the BB28 Slotback.
Last month’s limited-edition anniversary putter, the BB30, is a tough act to follow. That putter was the only one in the XXV Anniversary series with a welded neck and was a head shape previously only available to Bob Bettinardi’s friends.
How can this month’s BB28 Slotback possibly compete with the BB30’s backstory?
Realistically, it can’t. How could any putter compete against a putter called the Goombah? It’s not a knock against the BB28 Slotback. You’ll see shortly that it definitely brings some limited-edition uniqueness to the putting surface. The BB20 Goombah was just next-level unique.
What makes the BB28 Slotback different from the stock model?
The Bettinardi BB28 Slotback is a great example of how simple design changes can significantly change how a putter looks and plays. The BB28 is a staple in the Bettinardi putter line. Bettinardi has produced multiple versions of the BB28 during the past decade. Right now, three different versions of the BB28 are available on the Bettinardi site. Let’s compare the stock BB28 with a spud neck to the BB28 Slotback limited edition.

The SwingU Testing Opportunity
Often, it’s the smaller member tests that make the biggest impact. Member testing of products like PuttOut, Red Rooster golf gloves and various golf balls can help all our Forum members make informed decisions about purchases that can improve their game.
That was our objective with the SwingU Golf GPS app. While SwingU had already been reviewed by MyGolfSpy staff member Tony Covey, we wanted to gauge how this app performed for other golfers with varying levels of tech proficiency.
Additionally, this member test aimed to showcase the testers’ progress over time using the SwingU app as it offers more than just GPS functionality. The SwingU App offers a comprehensive range of features including but not limited to:
Shot tracking and club recommendationsStrokes gained analysisGreen-reading mapsScorecards and statisticsTips and lessonsWind speed/elevation and “plays-like” distancesThe SwingU app is compatible with Apple and Android devices and integrates seamlessly with Apple Watch.
The basic SwingU app is free, albeit with limited features. Users have the option to start with a free trial and can upgrade any time. SwingU offers two Premium Tiers: SwingU Plus ($49.99 per year) and SwingU Pro ($99.99 per year).
There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.
What We Tried:
Stitch Golf travel gear. Stitch makes a plethora of travel bags. I tried several including the Multiuse Traveler Bag (MUT), Birdie Bag, Ultimate Garment Bag and the Dopp Kit.
Who Tried It
Connor. Director of Soft Goods Testing and resident sneakerhead. I believe golf is better with a pair of cool shoes and comfortable joggers. I’m still lugging around bags from my junior high school days so it’s about dang time I upgrade my luggage repertoire.
Multiuse Traveler Bag (MUT)
This isn’t my first rodeo with the Stitch Golf MUT. This bag was tested as a part of our Best Golf Travel Bags buyer’s guide.
If you’re looking for a bag that can do it all, you need to consider the MUT. With a single zip, it transforms from a compact roller duffle into a full-fledged travel bag.

The Ryder Cup is one of golf's premier team competitions, featuring teams from the United States and Europe. Over the years, the Ryder Cup has produced numerous classic moments that have left a lasting mark on the sport. Here are some classic Ryder Cup moments:
The "Concession" of 1969: The 1969 Ryder Cup, held at Royal Birkdale in England, is famous for the sportsmanship displayed by American golfer Jack Nicklaus and British golfer Tony Jacklin. On the 18th green of the final singles match, the score was tied. Rather than risk missing a short putt and losing the hole, Nicklaus conceded the putt to Jacklin, resulting in the first-ever tied Ryder Cup. Nicklaus's gesture became known as "the concession" and is considered one of the most iconic moments in Ryder Cup history.
Seve Ballesteros's Iconic Fist Pump: Spanish golf legend Seve Ballesteros was known for his passion and flair in Ryder Cup competitions. One of his most memorable moments came in the 1985 Ryder Cup at The Belfry when he sunk a crucial putt and celebrated with an exuberant fist pump, igniting the crowd and his team.
The "War by the Shore" (1991): The 1991 Ryder Cup, held at Kiawah Island in South Carolina, was a fiercely competitive and emotional contest. Known as the "War by the Shore," the Ryder Cup featured intense rivalries, memorable shots, and a passionate American victory.
Justin Leonard's Miracle Putt (1999): In the 1999 Ryder Cup at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, Justin Leonard drained a 45-foot putt on the 17th hole during the Sunday singles matches. The putt ignited wild celebrations by the American team and spectators and played a pivotal role in the U.S. team's comeback victory.
