Odyssey Versa Putters: In-hand photos, video & specs
Odyssey’s Versa putters take alignment in a new direction. Rather than have golfers focusing on the target line using parallel alignment aids, Versa putters were developed to make golfers turn their attention to a black-and-white finish that is perpendicular to the line of a putt and matches the alignment of a putter’s face.
[quote_box_center]”The development of this putter line was somewhat serendipitous,” said Austie Rollinson, principal designer for Odyssey. “We were working on another putter concept that utilized multiple materials. We had arranged the materials in such a way that they were layered from face to back and alternated between black and white. Although the initial concept proved to be too expensive to produce, we quickly realized that we had an new an innovative new alignment feature for a blade.”[/quote_box_center]

Check out the chart that illustrates the important of proper alignment. According to Odyssey studies, a 1-degree error in putter face aim will give a golfer no chance of making a 12-foot putt.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

345 grams is too light for a 33″ #9. Should be 355 grams.

Actually the #9 doesn’t look too bad. It is very interesting to see how a company can resurrect or re-imagine a head shape in a number of new ways just because a freakishly good pro like Luke Donald putts outstanding with it (Odyssey #7).
