putter looks fantastic!!! wish they would release this one and the #9 ht to the US. i am very jealous hahaha!!! enjoy it!!

[Odyssey PM]

XThor...congrats again.  You have no idea how many jealous employees have come asking me for one of these.  We made 4 of these heads initially as our tour rep was working with a Japanese player as a special request.  That player got the putter and loved it so we didn't have to tweak the others.  One of the others went to somebody who works for Wrx a little while back and one is still sitting raw in R&D.  This is the only one with the swirl designs in it and is by far my favorite of all of them.

Someone mentioned that the Japan market gets everything cool.  They didn't get this at all.

As far as the Tattoo PM's that have been flowing in, xThor beat you to it.  Maybe we'll do something like it again in the future.  It's so fun to read back through the PMs with xThor and see his responses knowing all along the putter I had in mind once he said what shape he liked.

As for the accusations of Henna, ink, etc., I saw pics of the process at the tattoo artist's shop.  If it's not the real deal, xThor deserves it any way for an extremely elaborate scheme to get this putter, but somehow I don't think that's the case.

Congrats on the putter again.  Might have to get some black and white swirls all over the bottom of a custom Versa for myself.

Wicked! Congratulations, you deserve it!

And a big THANK YOU TO ODYSSEY for supporting WRX!!

[OUZO Power]

WOW. Thats balls.

[muttesmutte]

As several others allready asked, is that offer still valid? Where did u hear about it?

And btw that is one sweeeeeet putter!

[+Church]

This is so epic.  That putter is sweet!! I would easily get an odyssey swirl tattoo for a custom putter!

[SHIVAN]

I think that iX line would sell well here in the US.

[mike johnston]

Love the bottom of that putter.   Awesome dude. Congrats

The offer is over.

[lynnj163]

Thats awesome, didn't hear about the offer but looks like you took full advantage of it. Putter is Sick!

[mjwidell]

Awesome story and another example of how Callaway 'gets it'. I just noticed I accidently voted one star for this thread...please forgive my stupid touch phone! This thread is awesome - congrats!

[timbo08]

Wow that's awesome!  Congrats and super cool for Callaway/Odyssey to do something like this and for the OP to have the sack to go through with it!  Totally in for the Chevron and Swirl if an offer like this is ever on the table again! HAHA

Priceless story, tat, customer relations and putter. Amazing

[xThor]

Incredible not only to have this putter, but now there's an article about it on GolfWRX's front page. http://www.golfwrx.c...-custom-putter/

Thanks to Andrew for the article, enjoyed reading it, and remembering the whole process. (Who am I kidding, I remember every detail, including how which end of the box I opened first!). But surreal to see that article there, and hold this putter in my hands.

Thanks again to Andrew, Zak, and Chris Koske. This whole thing really just embodies, and fuels my passion for this community, the game of golf, and my addiction to club ho'ing!

[Teedogg]

That is one nice putter!!!

[blindwillie]

What a great story.. Nice job man!!   Does the offer still stand??

[Odyssey PM]

The offer is expired for now, but we'll do more things like this in the future.

Name your first born Sabertooth?

Versa hair dye jobs?

Odyssey tatted across your back in old English font?

In all seriousness, we've got some fun stuff planned in the near future.

[OUZO Power]

Funny thing is where he did the tat.

It could be a distraction when swinging or putting.

[xThor]

Location was strategically chosen. Its no more a distraction than a watch/bracelet/etc.

Chris I named my kitten Odysseus, that count? Lol. (That is his name, but did that last year haha)

[masamitsu]

That's a thing of beauty.  How does it roll?

[geauxWRX]

I think odyssey would hit a homerun if they released this one!

[VTHOKIM]

Great post and putter... Thanks for sharing!

Havent tested it out on the course yet because of the weather. But loving it on my 10ft practice green at home. Really digging the new white hot insert.

I'd do the hair dye job for a Versa #6 tour flow neck in a heart beat.

How did he find out about the opportunity for the putter if he did a tat tho?

[indyvai]

That's pretty gen x of Odyssey... nice score!

[130R]

Great looking putter, I would love to have this done
