The Bettinardi Antidote line has already made waves with its first generation of Simply Balanced putters – and now it’s expanding in a big way. Literally. The Antidote SB2 Long Putter, now available at Worldwide Golf, builds on the SB2 mallet model with a 48-inch shaft and a design focused on keeping your stroke as steady as your nerves.
The SB2 Long is crafted for players who prefer a more anchored setup, gripping down for added control, rhythm, and consistency on the greens. Like the rest of the Antidote family, it’s all about simplifying the motion and letting the head stay square throughout the stroke.
Built for Balance
The standout technology behind the Antidote line is Simply Balanced, Bettinardi’s zero-torque engineering. By aligning the shaft directly with the center of gravity, this design promotes a naturally square face at every point in the swing – no matter your arc. In short, the putter stays on path without needing extra manipulation from the hands or wrists.
To complement this balance, the SB2 Long features a heavier 500-gram head, which helps smooth out tempo and reduce the likelihood of deceleration or face rotation during the stroke. Whether you’re on a fast, sloping green or a slower layout, the added stability can make a noticeable difference.
Premium Feel with F.I.T. Face Milling
Bettinardi’s signature F.I.T. (Feel Impact Technology) face milling removes over half the face material, giving it a buttery-soft feel at impact while still providing responsive feedback. The face and center insert are crafted from 303 Stainless Steel, a tour-grade material chosen for its consistency and durability.
Clean Looks with Function to Match
From address, the Sapphire Blue 6061 Aluminum body pops without being flashy. The Diamond Blast finish on the face and insert helps cut glare on sunny days and accentuates the simple alignment cues: a topline and two flange lines that frame the ball cleanly.
It’s designed to help you lock in your setup, trust your line, and roll it confidently without second-guessing your stroke mechanics.
Thoughtful Components, Tour-Caliber Touch
The Chrome Tour Grade shaft, paired with a Winn 2-piece round grip, gives the SB2 Long its defining feel. The setup is tailored for the longer build and creates a steady, connected sensation from hands to head. Every putter also includes a magnetic Antidote Series headcover, bringing premium detailing full circle.
A Quick Look at the Full Line
The SB2 Long joins a growing family of Antidote putters, each built around the same zero-torque, Simply Balanced philosophy. Earlier models include the SB1 blade, SB2 mallet, and counterbalance versions of both, offering different shapes and shaft setups to match a variety of putting styles.
Each model shares the same responsive F.I.T. face, clean alignment design, and premium materials.
The Long and Short of It
Whether you’re searching for more confidence on short putts or looking to improve your distance control on longer rolls, the Bettinardi Antidote SB2 Long Putter offers a compelling option. It’s designed for players who want a stable, simplified stroke without overhauling their putting style.
