Rickie Fowler’s new putter: Standard-length Odyssey Jailbird 380 in custom orange
Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
…The Jailbird craze hasn’t really slowed down in 2024, either. According to Odyssey rep Joe Toulon, there are about 18-20 Jailbird putter users on the PGA TOUR.
Most recently, Akshay Bhatia won the 2024 Valero Texas Open using a broomstick-style Odyssey Jailbird 380 putter and Webb Simpson is switching into a replica of that putter at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.
Now, Fowler, who essentially started the whole Jailbird craze, is making a significant change to his putter setup.
Fowler, who has had a couple weeks off since the 2024 RBC Heritage, started experimenting with a new, custom-orange Jailbird 380 head that’s equipped with a standard 35-inch putter build, rather than his previous 38-inch counter-balanced setup.
According to Fowler, while he still likes the look and forgiveness of his Jailbird putter head, he’s looking to re-incorporate more feel into his hands during the putting stroke.
He told GolfWRX.com on Tuesday at the Wells Fargo Championship that the 38-inch counterbalanced setup “served its purpose” by helping him to neutralize his hands during the stroke, but now it’s time to try the standard-length putter with a standard-size SuperStroke Pistol Tour grip to help with his feel and speed control.
Although Fowler was also spotted testing standard-length mallets from L.A.B. Golf and Axis1 on Tuesday, he confirmed that the custom Odyssey Jailbird 380 is the putter he’ll use this week at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.

How could you let yourself go so much? She looks 20 years older than what she is and is 100 plus overweight.

Not that she is young, but she looks so old for her age. Really fat too! Gross 🙁

This thing is the same age as Brad Pitt? WTF? She looks older than my 75 year old grandmother.

I was expecting 1943, not 1963 when. I googled her age. Pathetic.

I saw Laura in person for the first time at the 1991 Mazda Championship in Bethesda, MD. The temperature was in the 90s and humid but she strolled with confidence wearing a sleeveless sweater over a polo. She seems very down to earth, and has always had my respect as a person and a professional golfer.

She wore the sweater in the 90 degree weather because she is f at as h ell. Nobody wants to see that blubber jiggle all over the place. If Laura wore a regular golf shirt it would be very disturbing to see. I would say more disturbing than the planes flying into the WTCs on 9 11.

God Bless her…She’s awesome. Funny, can hang with ANYONE…Whole lotta shaking goin’ on with that swing..
Bad back, bad hip – got it done for years. I show her swing to many of my ‘Xlarge’ students & with my 14 broken bones & 7 ortho surgeries – most military & 9/11 first responder injuries – and introduce it as “Here’s me in drag”… 😉

Judging by a couple of pics online the putter looks like an Odyssey Exo Rossie, an English website is saying Odyssey Red Ball

Interesting. I’d think she’d play the more forgiving parallax in the 2 iron and then have the 4-9 irons as the Lynx Tour (which is a pure blade, from what I can see on Lynx’s website). Sure you didn’t get these mixed up?
The new Lynx line of irons looks pretty strong for a first year comeback. Too bad these will likely not make it to Canada. Would lobe to try out the Prowler VT’s!
