Queen B is Bettinardi's compact, traditionally-shaped putter line, historically positioned toward smaller-handed and female golfers, and the QB7 was part of the brand's 2019 Studio Stock/Queen B refresh, carrying the family's signature honeycomb face milling into a classic plumber's-neck mid-mallet shape. The line was then given a much heavier relaunch for 2025-2026 with a Royal Rose PVD finish and an 'enhanced center of gravity' that let Bettinardi keep the CG centered while preserving the small, symmetrical head shape golfers expect -- closing what MyGolfSpy called a roughly decade-long gap since the line was last taken this seriously.
Its 2025 relaunch was covered by MyGolfSpy as a 'classic that's been waiting 10 years for a reintroduction,' and Plugged In Golf/GottaGolf both reviewed it as an under-the-radar favorite among compact mid-mallets -- genuine trade enthusiasm but no broad collector or tour-legend narrative attached to the 2019 model specifically.
Fits golfers who want a compact, classic silhouette with a slight arcing stroke and don't need maximum forgiveness -- reviewers note it 'demands a bit more focus' than a giant multi-material mallet. Not the right choice for someone coming from an oversized mallet who wants that same forgiveness in a smaller package.
Released as part of Bettinardi's 2019 Studio Stock/Queen B series alongside the redesigned Studio Stock 2, competing with Scotty Cameron's Newport/Squareback and Odyssey's compact White Hot lines of the same period; the Queen B name and shape carried through to a more heavily updated 2025-2026 Queen B relaunch.
At roughly 362g (2025-26 spec) it's heavier than the average compact head, which Bettinardi and reviewers say gives it forgiveness 'on par with traditional Anser putters' -- a step up from a pure blade but well short of a modern high-MOI mallet; off-center hits are noticeably punished compared to Bettinardi's own Inovai family.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Used QB7 heads trade in the $150-$250 range on 2nd Swing/eBay in 2026 versus a current-generation MSRP near $450; the 2019-specific model has a thinner secondary market than mainstream Bettinardi blades since it was a smaller-volume release.
