A White Hot Mesh: Odyssey Works Putters

Published

on

Odyssey’s Works putters merge two of the company’s most successful technologies to create something new.

The putters use a new insert — called Fusion RX — that combines Odyssey’s White Hot insert with a stainless steel mesh that’s similar to the company’s Metal-X insert. The idea was to combine the soft, consistent feel of the White Hot insert with the roll benefits of the Metal-X insert pattern.

[quote_box_center]”We took a thin mesh of stainless steel about 0.4 mm thick and adhere it to the surface,” says Austie Rollinson, Principal Designer at Odyssey Golf. “And what that does — the stainless steel with the oval pattern — is give you that friction that you’re looking for to put that better roll on it. But it also is thin enough that it flexes with the impact so that you get the feel and sound and resiliency of the White Hot [insert] behind it… so it’s the best of both worlds.”[/quote_box_center]

The last step? Adding the company’s Versa paint, which uses contrasting silver and black lines to aid golfers with their alignment.

The new technologies are used on each of the 11 putters in the Odyssey Works line: #1, #1 Wide, #7, #9, V-Line, 2-Ball Fang, 2-Ball Fang Tank, Arm Lock #1 Wide, Tank #1 Wide, Tank #7 and Rossie #1 Tank. All models (except the Arm Lock #1 Wide) are also available with a SuperStroke grip for a $20 upcharge.

The putters will be in stores on Jan. 30, 2015.

Odyssey Works 2-Ball Fang ($199)

With the Odyssey Works 2-Ball Fang, the company replaced the metal flange on top of the putter with a lighter ABS polymer insert. That reduced the weight on the top by 78 percent, lowering its center of gravity and creating more discretionary weight for designers to place around the perimeter of the club.

The result? A “fanged” look that’s 32 percent more accurate than any 2-Ball the company has ever made, Rollinson said.

  • Lengths: 33, 34, 35 inches
  • Head Weight: 360 grams

A 2-Ball Fang “Tank” ($219) is also available. It has a head weight of 380 grams and is available in lengths of 35 and 38 inches.

    So how is this putter better, yet significantly cheaper, than a Metal X Milled Versa? $349 vs $179. The people who bought those or the Metal X Milled must feel like they were ripped off!

    Oh wow!!! Silver instead of white! I must have! Sarcasm. Sorry, just not enough improvement to get excited about. I am actually surprised I even read the article. I knew what it would say but read it anyway.

    These look great IMO, I have always thought Odyssey putters were the best putters dollar for dollar, these could improve on their legacy for sure, combining a truer roll with that classic feel. Something the Metal X series could not quite get right.

    The #1 wide having a line is tempting me highly.

    So will this line still jive with their eye-line fitting system? Or is that out the door, only to be resurrected and claimed as innovation next year?

    Thank goodness…back to the solid line and away from the 3 alignment dots. Hate the dots so may have to give this #7 or #7 Tank a ride.

    Where can I get one of these inserts to put on my current Tank?

    I like that they got away from the white. they make good putters but needed to get away from the taylormade white look. i like the size of the #1 wide, reminds me of a sqaureback style. good putter for price. and to “rat’s” comment of a pig painted. they at least have a huge putter line that stays consistnet with shape each year. so people can keep the same style putter they like but get an upgrade or jsut a diff color and change of scenery. there is only so muhc tech in putter. same with betti and scotty. same styles slighly tweaked each year with new color scheme. thats all. dont hate.

    Still not enough offset in the arm lock.

    • Jesse

      Jan 7, 2015 at 12:58 pm

      That’s my concern too .. Looks like I’ll have to suck it up and get a bettinardi

      • slider

        Jan 7, 2015 at 5:45 pm

        no a scotty

        • lsf_21

          Jan 9, 2015 at 12:00 am

          Does Scotty make an arm lock?

          Bettis are fantastic I own both. Just wish the feel was a pinch firmer for slow greens I play on most often.

    I’m surprised they brought the arm lock putter back. Anyone have any details on this, is it going to have more loft in the face like the bettinardi?

    Much the same ol’ same ol’. A pig painted red or white is still a pig.

      Winningest putter of all time over PING and Cameron. Probably not a pig by most peoples definition – unless you consider pigs a good thing.

        You’re 100% correct Enrigue. I said the same in another forum. Bettinardi’s, Scotty’s & Piretti’s are beautiful putters. Some of them are like art. But making putts is making money and thats why Odyssey is the number one putter on tour. I’m a white hot pro guy, but for a change, I like a milled stainless putter. I traded a Scotty Newport Mil Spec for an Odyssey # 2 ProType and couldn’t be happier.
