- We had the distinct privilege of having Hall of Fame golfer Fred Couples testing and reviewing our first-ever prototype irons. Check out the legendary golfer’s full review!
I could watch Fred’s swing all day long. As a kid I would try and copy that tempo. Looking forward to trying these out
So effortless
Me too but check out those divots. I swear he shanked a couple of the wedges
Also wierd that he seemingly doesn’t know how clubs work, those questions are absurd
A brand ambassador and two company owners. Not really an evaluation. Love Fred Couples and bettinardi putters though.
@@rbslammed6163 Ok, pal. He shanked a couple... Ridiculous 😒
Just the best smoothest most pleasing swing to watch!!
My 100 year old Scottish born Father reveres Arnold Palmer and a close second is Fred Couples, and I feel the same. I get the sense that Fred is less concerned about the technical aspects and jargon of club design and more about the way it looks and feels. That’s a great lesson for all of us. A true artist.
Yeah you can tell he is a feel player. He’s even picky about the feel of the grip. I completely understand where he’s coming from. If the club doesn’t feel right in his hands…it’s gonna be a bad day and you can tell when he’s uncomfortable with a club. I’m sure he doesn’t like the cavity backs as much but Bettinardi has to make them because muscle back have way less forgiveness in them and you won’t get any launch if it’s mishit.
The sound of the club hitting the ball and turf is just magical. Same every time, no matter which number iron he's playing. That's a pro sound right there. Love it.
SSWWACK
@@lastmatch1111 well struck iron is music to the ears… seriously
If Fred Couples likes your irons, then I'll certainly check them out. We've always been a fan of his, have admired and copied his swing and love his attitude about life and the great game of golf. Thank you and cheers from Massachusetts.
what a joy to watch Fred Couples the legend to hit the New Bettinardi irons. Fred was really impressed with the feel and look of this quality masterpiece. Hats off to team BETTINARDI - BOB AND SAMMY! BETTINARDI PRODUCTS ARE TOP NOTCH IN THE GOLF equipment SPACE..
Fred is a stud! My all-time favorite! Good job guys, the new irons look great.
That swing. So smooth, such tempo, so effortless
My favorite golfer to this day. He’s the man that started my love of the game over 30 years ago and his swing what what we all dream of having
Congratulations Bobby on these irons. They look great!
Freddie Couples is the man. Great video.
Awesome video, would've been nice to the flight of the balls from behind. If i wasn't recently custom fit for my 2021 T100S irons these would def. be in the running. Freddy is king of smooth !! just effortless
Just got fitted into this set today at Club Champion. P770, T100 and CB24 were the 3 finalists out of about 10 irons i tried. OMG the CB24 were on a different level! Suited my eye, and the turf/mat interaction was my favorite by far! Definitely give them a try if you are in the market for new irons and get fitted!!
great job bringing a left hand option out. thanks bettinardi. just bring the wedges out now for us lefties! 😊
These clubs are sweet but Fred Couples and his buttery tempo could make my 1966 Kroydon Bob Rosburg irons ,that I learned to play on, look like some clubs you would want to run out and buy! Maybe let some people who will actually have to pay for these clubs give em a try.
Sam Bettenardi is going to do great things with the company. Love this guy
I have the opposite feeling, can't stand the guy. He just feels like one of those creepy sales guys that should be selling cars.
@@trimmrhaving actually met Sam, I didn't get that feeling talking to him in person at all. The impression I got was someone who is very passionate about what he does and enjoys bringing something different to the table in golf.
@@jameszaimes7407That may be so but that’s not how he comes across in this post. Too verbal while his father Bob says little.
I don’t know if demo days are back since COVID as I’ve been away from the golf scene but I would love to try these out. The muscle irons are beautiful. The kbs shaft combination is great. I can tell they feel like butter. Not for your average golfer who needs forgiveness in their irons even for the Bettinardi cavity backs. From the feel perspective when Fred hit the muscle backs some of the strikes sounded really great. I would be proud to have these in my bag but you wouldn’t see them often as I would put a cover on each iron. They look so soft and bag chatter would up mess up the aesthetics and that would just piss me off. That’s like getting a scratch on a Ferrari. Putters are definitely great no doubt. Well done on the new irons Bettinardi fam and Fred Couples.
Smoothest swing in the biz, Stoked to try these out!
His swing is so smooth, it's ridiculous
Also, the price is crazy low for such a premium product.
what a great guy to have intro the irons
congrats on a great product. Fred will certainly be a great ambassador for you.
Whats great about them?
Apparently Fred is tight with the Bettinardi family but, not going to lie, watching him demo these is pretty darn compelling and a good marketing choice by the company to roll out this video. If I can get my hands on a set I wouldn't hesitate one bit to test them with a launch monitor and give them consideration.
How bad could they be?
I've been needing a new set of irons now for 10 years. Wow I really like the look of them. Sound is difficult on film but they do sound good. Watching Boom boom hitting those were amazing even though the cameraman was behind him and following the ball flights. Lol
Wow if Mr. Couples endorses this its worth spending the money!
wanna buy a pillow?
@@krusher74😂😂😂
Um no
You've been marketed to. What does it feel like?
@@Station2Station-du2ghyeah you have to try them out and see if they fit your game. If your a high handicapper, you’ll have some nice clubs in your bag but your ball flight will be all over the place if you mishit the ball.
Two legends (Bob and Fred) and two up and coming legends (Sam and Bettinardi irons)
Class!!!
what an amazing video to watch. A testimonial like this, from Freddie!?!? got me thinking about these sticks. $1600 is steep, I'm gonna wanna hit 'em before spending this much when T100's are $1200. Luckily, I'm not that far away from their HQ
Bought a Queen B… loved it… bought an Innovai, loved it…
Gotta say, these look much better and cleaner than what’s on the market… These might uproot my T100/AP saga LOL…
I must get one to try out.
Have a feeling we see these in the bag in Augusta..
I have a Bettinardi Putter, fantastic quality. I love the idea of American made everything and I would pay the price to have it.
Can’t wait for these come out and try
Seems like those are going in the bag. Nice irons.
Beautiful irons!
I have one of their old broomstick putters....super well made
Love my Invai 6.0 putter. I'd love to try their irons and wedges.
Wedges are 219 plus....hard to go against vokeys sm10 or ping s 159
@@scottsears5545 I already have the S159 54 and 58 degree wedges. They were $ 180 each.
The CB looks awesome
Looking forward to hearing about the woods that we saw in the bag as well! Great irons!!
Their putters are already probably one of the best designs on the market (at least I have seen so far). Really premium look of the products. Still on my dream list :) Their price level is a little bit higher, however if it was not only "milled in USA", but also "made in USA", it would be more of a thing deserving the price tag and giving it more of the right to be in the premium class.
Their wedges are forged (which is something the "big" companies do not offer, only Mizuno, Ping and Bettinardi are forging their wedges as of I know....). Hope I will have the opportunity to test these at least :) Do not forget to allow combo set CB/MB, even most players on tour do have some partial combo in the bag ;)
Really looking forward to see Fred with them on tour ;)
Just something I noticed later.... their default lofts are a bit sharper that blades of other brands.... PW is set to 45° and 4i to 23°. Well, do not think it is the best choice. Eg. 46° resp. 24° would be suiting better to even numbers of wedges and also to possible migration from others brands blades :( These lofts are more towards game improving irons of high hcps :(
When will they be released?
Curious how these would rank between Miura 302 for cavity and 502 for blades.
It's just the best golf swing ever my absolute golfing idol......what a golfer such good hands. When he said i hit that one really hard and it looked like he hit at about 10 percent 😄 must say the mb irons looked beautiful
Fred is a Class Act. BOOM BOOM
I want to know if Freddy is actually using them. He keeps using those old bridgestones and made a change to ping in 2020 but went right back
I had a brass putter from y'all. If you make irons I'd like a set
My gosh, I wish I could swing as smooth as Mr. Couples. If Fred says the clubs are good, that's enough for me.
Hey Fred what would you hit at #3 at West Seattle?
I only watched this because of Fred. The clubs are great. Gonna be $$$$$.
Still use a putter from them for a long time. Love my Mizuno irons, but I might consider those in about 3-4 years.
What’s the launch date?
Freddie just has an incredibly smooth swing. How can you hit the ball that smooth and elegant without trying too hard and still get those yardages? Just amazing!
Hes trying hard as all people with that speed do. His tempo is what fools you
He has a long backswing with flying elbow which is an under appreciated speed source. He also holds his lag as well as anyone. He’s very relaxed and his sequencing is spot on.
@@roberthaar Yup, so called flying elbow = speed.
Looks like the back range at Calusa Pines in Naples.
I see a few people complaining about price, but a set of 4-PW are $1600. For Bettinardi Quality that is a fantastic deal. Are these made in USA?
No. Designed in USA though.
I,can get new mizuno 225 for 600 ebay
I think Betty is going to have a strong Tour presence with those MB irons!
The son sounds like the typical salesman lol!
But those clubs do look pretty nice!! If Fred approves…what can you say?
Fred is,getting paid and loves bettinardi
What KBS shafts is Fred hitting these irons with?
In this video it is the KBS Tour S.
What grips are on those?
Damn Freddy!..smoothest swing ever.
When will they be available?
golf town
Freddie is Italian as well
"I hit that hard"......it looked like his other swings lol. Freddy is still incredible!
Interesting - I need to look into this - I am overdue for a new set of irons - Fred C is the guy I watch the most
What’s the shaft and grips on those??
Shat looked like KBS. They are going to have the usual selection of iron shafts available when they release.
I remember him using Lynx clubs way back when.
From what I seen in the video they look beautiful. When do expect a release date ?
Why no GW? These days that’s a 120 yd full swing for me. Better to match with the iron set than the wedge set.
Class player with a Rolls Royce swing and classy clubs a marriage made in heaven.
if the cost is anything like the putters... these will be $4,000 per club...
Good luck getting that 4 iron back .
The man is a machine 🏌♂️
If he actually replaces his trusted Bridgestone J36 irons we’ll know he truly liked them.
Curtis Strange once said that Fred hits the ball solid every time.
Fred is gold.
When are they coming?
I love my studio stock 14 putter. I'm going to have to try the muscle backs out.
How much do they cost?
2k
Does he normally not use a glove?
he does not use a glove.
Fred “these look just like all the other irons on the market but when I look at it I wouldn't be able to tell which company these are even though I know you made these to look like a Bettenardi”
Prestige irons. As long as you got the look the scoring is secondary. Im sure these clubs are wonderful and the value is in the eye of the club holder. Make a club that has me swinging like Freddie and you can have the farm.
Okay now I got to see them in person. Gawd! I always get sucked in with new clubs...
insane. i hit that really hard looked smoother than churned butter
I’m in.. Will they be direct to consumers? When will they be available?
Yeah I'm just curious about the price I'm guessing 1700 per set .
Supposedly $1600 for 4-PW.
Absolute poetry
They look awsome can’t wait to try them I’m sure there not cheap😂❤
Those are gorgeous. 🇮🇹
why no Trackman?
Don't need a trackman when you have arguably one of the most gifted golfers of all time hitting your irons. If fred says they feel and play great that's better than any numbers on a trackman
@@TheTraditionalGolfer What an american stupidico thing to say
@@TheTraditionalGolfer For american customers maybe you are right.
Price will be determining factor
I'm sure they'll be super expensive. But they do look gorgeous
I would assume $200-$225 per club
Supposedly $1600 for 4-PW.
How much?
Big $$$$$$
I say, bring back Lynx, and the boom boom driver
I’m guessing he likes the blades 😊
As a LPGA, surprised to know that Freddie didn't know what to call the soul and flage....but he came with logo shirts...
Best swing in golf ...
Butter
Best all time swing in golf
But will Fred put them in his bag?
If he's paid and out of contract with his current club manufacturer
Such perfect shallow divots
Just take my money now please…love Freddie
Where are they made? Please tell me they are made in USA and not in China!
No forging in usa but finishing etc can be done in house
@@neilcameron3021 are there any clubs forged in this country anymore? I have a set of “vintage” Hogans so it is interesting to know if any clubs are forged in the USA.
@@stevetilk4926 no.forgings in usa for maybe 50 years.
Not for many yeaŕs now.Hoffman.rings a bell as the last.I suspect they buy in raw forgings and finish in house
Is Bob always this quite?
Probably getting older
This is exciting. Add me to the list.
Fred could hit a 300 yard drive with a hockey stick.
Freddy is so cool he is actually sponsored by Mitsubishi Air Conditioning!
Let that sink in
$250 bucks per iron?
Ping is at that, taylormade getting to 200 retail.
@@autumnstar9475 Where does it end?
@@mattbecham597 never. Buy dtc like takomo
