Custom Bettinardi putters at the 2014 MLB All-Star Game

Published

Batter up, Bettinardi!

Bettinardi Golf teamed up with Excel Sports Management to customize putters for seven different baseball players who have been named as 2014 MLB All-Stars.

The lucky gift-getters include Alex Gordon (Kansas City Royals), Clayton Kershaw (L.A. Dodgers), Zack Greinke (L.A. Dodgers), Freddie Freeman (Atlanta Braves), Dellin Betances (New York Yankees), Masahiro Tanaka (New York Yankees) and of course, Derek Jeter (you know what team). After announcing he’s retiring at the end of the season, Jeter is being presented farewell gifts from every baseball team in the league, so it’s fitting that he gets an awesome personalized Bettinardi putter too.

The putters are made from Double-Aged Stainless Steel (D.A.S.S.) with what the company calls a “golden flame” finish.

“Being a huge fan of baseball my whole life, I was pleased to team up with Excel Sports to make the highest end putters for some of the top baseball players in the world,” said Bob Bettinardi, President/CEO of Bettinardi Golf. “It displays our unique ability to not only produce putters for the PGA Tour, but also being able to expand and create these one-of-a-kind coveted gifts for All-Star players.”

    In addition, there is a world-famous Bronx Zoo,
    the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Botanical Garden, along with the breath-taking New York Aquarium.
    However, an experienced may have solutions for helping the
    room that you will have never considered. This is the option we may recommend since the containers included in the kits are
    created for Bokashi fermentation specifically and therefore are just sufficiently small
    to tuck away right into a convenient place such like a pantry or
    underneath the sink.

    When a player lands here they have to pick up a Doo-Dad
    card and pay whatever it tells them to. Cleaning
    – The outside of the garage door needs to be cleaned at least four
    times a year. You can also use Twitter to search by

    You need to find out about stop loss orders
    before you start investing your hard earned money inside the stock market.

    However, because of the variables that have the potential
    to acquire in the way of building a healthy portfolio, you have to wonder whether it’s
    even possible. People who are not goal setting techniques tend
    to ‘t be as successful – they stay stuck , nor achieve their
    dreams.

GolfWRX Members Choice presented by 2nd Swing: Best driver of 2025

Published

on

We’re proud to once again partner with 2nd Swing Golf to bring you GolfWRX Members Choice 2025! 2nd Swing has more than 150,000 new and pre-swung golf clubs available in six store locations and online. Check them out here

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.

Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.

Best driver of 2025: The top 5

5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%

Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”

You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.

4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%

Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%

Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”

@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%

Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”

@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%

Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”

@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
