Odyssey Works Tank Cruiser putters
Odyssey’s new Works Tank Cruiser putters combine the company’s most proven and popular technologies to create the ultimate counterbalanced putter line.
The four new models — #1 Wide, 2-Ball Fang, V-Line and #7 — will sell for $249 when they hit stores on October 30. They’re available for pre-order on odysseygolf.com on October 16.
Here’s what you need to know about them.
- Odyssey’s Tank Cruiser weight system gives golfers the ability to adjust both the head weight and grip weight of the putters, offering total control over the counterbalancing effect. Each putter comes stock with a SuperStroke grip, and an included weight kit has 0, 5-, 15- and 30-gram weights, any of which can be installed in the butt end of the grip.
- As a general rule, adding more weight to the grip will help limit hand action during the stroke, while removing weight from the grip will increase swing weight and add more club head feel.
- According to Austie Rollinson, chief designer for Odyssey Golf, there’s no formula to finding the right weight combination for your stroke. For that reason, three sets of adjustable head weights are also included with the putters to help golfers find the right combination of head weight and grip weight for their stroke.
- Odyssey’s Fusion RX face insert (above) combines the company’s popular White Hot insert with the steel mesh that improves friction at impact for better ball roll. This insert was first seen in Odyssey’s Works Versa line launched last year.
- Versa technology, which has proven its effectiveness in previous Odyssey putter lineups, uses thick, contrasting lines to make aim and alignment easier for golfers of all skill levels.
- Each putter is available in both 35- and 38-inch lengths.

Choose Your Driver: Which 2012 driver was your favorite?
The year was 2012. Gangnam Style ruled supreme, its infectious beats and ludicrous horse-riding dance moves hypnotizing us with their stupidity. Everyone was talking about the Mayan calendar, convinced that the end of days was near. Superheroes soared on the silver screen, with the Avengers assembling in epic fashion. Katniss Everdeen survived The Hunger Games. And the memes! The memes abounded. Grumpy Cat triumphed. We kept calm and carried on.
In much the same way that automotive enthusiasts love classic cars, we at GolfWRX love taking a backward glance at some of the iconic designs of years past. Heck, we love taking iconic designs to the tee box in the present!
In that spirit, GolfWRX has been running a series inspired by arguably the greatest fighting game franchise of all time: Mortal Kombat. It’s not “choose your fighter” but rather “choose your driver.”
Check out some of the standout combatants of 2012 below.

Nike VRS
Often harshly critiqued during its years releasing golf equipment (right, Phil Mickelson?), Nike’s tenure in the club-and-ball business gets a gloss of nostalgic varnish, with many of its iron and putter designs continuing to attract admirers. Among the company’s driver offerings, the 2012 VRS — or VR_S, if you will — drew high marks for its shaping and toned-down appearance. The multi-thickness, NexCOR face was no joke either.
Check out our coverage from 2012 here.
Callaway RAZR Fit
Callaway’s first foray into moveable weight technology (married with its OptiFit hosel) did not disappoint. With a carbon fiber crown, aerodynamic attention to detail, and variable and hyperbolic face technologies, this club foreshadowed the tech-loaded, “story in every surface” Callaway drivers of the present, AI-informed design age.
Check out our coverage from 2012 here.
Cleveland Classic 310
Truly a design that came out of left field. Cleveland said, “Give me a persimmon driver, but make it titanium…in 460cc.” Our 2012 reviewer, JokerUsn wrote, “I don’t need to elaborate on all the aesthetics of this club. You’ve seen tons of pics. You’ve all probably seen a bunch in the store and held them up close and gotten drool on them. From a playing perspective, the color is not distracting. It’s dark enough to stay unobtrusive in bright sunlight…Even my playing partners, who aren’t into clubs at all…commented on it saying it looks cool.” Long live!

Titleist 910
While there’s no disputing Titleist’s “Titleist Speed” era of drivers perform better than its 2010s offerings, sentimentality abounds, and there was something classically Titleist about these clubs, right down to the alignment aid, and the look is somewhere between 983 times and the present TS age. Representing a resurgence after a disappointing stretch of offerings (907, 909), The 910D2 was a fairly broadly appealing driver with its classic look at address and classic Titleist face shape.
Check out our coverage from 2012 here.
TaylorMade RocketBallz
The white crown. The name. You either loved ‘em or you hated ‘em. TaylorMade’s 2012 offering from its RocketBallz Period boasted speed-enhancing aerodynamics and an Inverted Cone Technology in the club’s titanium face. Technology aside, it’s impossible to overstate what a departure from the norm a white-headed driver was in the world of golf equipment.
Check out our coverage from 2012 here.
Ping i20
Long a quietly assertive player in the driver space, Ping’s i20 was more broadly appealing than the G20, despite being a lower-launch, lower-spin club. Ping drivers didn’t always have looks that golfer’s considered traditional or classic, but the i20 driver bucked that trend. Combining the classic look with Ping’s engineering created a driver that better players really gravitated toward. The i20 offered players lower launch and lower spin for more penetrating ball flight while the rear 20g tungsten weights kept the head stable. Sound and feel were great also, being one of the more muted driver sounds Ping had created up to that time.

Is this about a putter, or something for the bedroom? LMFAO!

Dunno Claudia, but why does it have to be bedroom? I do it mile high, baby!

Did they completely abandon the backstryke line?
I had/have a d.a.r.t backstyke that is a nice putter…
