Odyssey to release Milled Collection RSX putters

Published

With its new releases, Odyssey often builds on its platforms and combines different technologies to achieve the desired look, feel, sound and performance. For its new line of Milled Collection RSX putters — RSX stands for “roll and sound experiment” — that trend continues.

In designing the Milled Collection RSX putters, Odyssey used technologies from the Metal-X Milled putters and Milled Collection SX putters, which were a popular release in Japan. The combination yields a putter that’s milled from 1025 carbon steel, but adds a Metal-X milled face insert and a sound chamber for enhanced auditory feedback.

According to Chief Designer Austie Rollinson, the company wanted to make putters to replace its all-milled Tour prototype putters that were released roughly a decade ago, which became known as Prototypes 1 and 2. They had thin faces and made a distinct sound that he wanted to emulate, and that’s how the new sound chamber came about. You may recognize the “sound chamber” technology from the HWY 101 limited-release, but the Milled Collection RSX putters take it to the next level, according to Callaway.

This sound chamber works by removing weight from of the middle of the putter and putting stainless steel over the top of the crevice, which gives the putter more of a “tink” and less of a “funk” sound, says Rollinson. He says the chamber changes how the putter bends and vibrates at impact, producing the auditory feedback he knew Tour players and consumers wanted.

For the “roll” portion of “roll and sound experiment,” Odyssey uses its familiar Metal-X Milled face insert, with a mesh-like texture made from 17-4 stainless steel, to impart friction on the ball at impact to get it rolling faster on the green.

The MIlled Collection RSX putters will be available in three models; a #7, a slightly altered #1 model that will be called #001, and the V-line Fang, which was well-received in Japan. The putters will sell for $379.99 and be in stores July 15.

Spotted: Project X Denali hybrid shaft

Project X’s Denali wood shafts have been seen in more and more golf bags this year as we start off the season. As a refresher, Denali Blue is the mid-launch and mid-spin model while Denali Black is for players seeking lower launch and spin.

Denali combines great feel with stability and increased ball speed. Currently, Project X only offers Denali Blue and Black in wood shafts, but we spotted a hybrid shaft in Daniel Berger’s bag at the 2024 Zurich Classic.

Check out in-hand photos of Daniel Berger’s full WITB here.

The shaft looks to be a Denali Blue 105G – HY in TX flex. No word on details from Project X yet but we can assume that this is a mid-launching shaft that weighs around 105 grams in Tour X-Stiff flex.

Berger has this shaft in his TaylorMade P770 3-iron, likely for some added launch and spin to hold the green from longer distances.

Hopefully, this means we will see some more shafts coming under the Denali name in the future, as I think many of us would like to try one in a hybrid or utility iron!

What are the driver and shaft combinations of the best golfers in the world? For gearheads, it’s an endlessly interesting question — even if we can only ever aspire to play LS heads and 7 TX shafts.

At this week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans, GolfWRX got in-hand looks at the driver setups of a wealth of players.

Check out some of the most interesting combos below, then head to the GolfWRX forums for the rest, as well as the rest of our galleries from New Orleans.
