Odyssey to release Milled Collection RSX putters

Published

With its new releases, Odyssey often builds on its platforms and combines different technologies to achieve the desired look, feel, sound and performance. For its new line of Milled Collection RSX putters — RSX stands for “roll and sound experiment” — that trend continues.

In designing the Milled Collection RSX putters, Odyssey used technologies from the Metal-X Milled putters and Milled Collection SX putters, which were a popular release in Japan. The combination yields a putter that’s milled from 1025 carbon steel, but adds a Metal-X milled face insert and a sound chamber for enhanced auditory feedback.

According to Chief Designer Austie Rollinson, the company wanted to make putters to replace its all-milled Tour prototype putters that were released roughly a decade ago, which became known as Prototypes 1 and 2. They had thin faces and made a distinct sound that he wanted to emulate, and that’s how the new sound chamber came about. You may recognize the “sound chamber” technology from the HWY 101 limited-release, but the Milled Collection RSX putters take it to the next level, according to Callaway.

This sound chamber works by removing weight from of the middle of the putter and putting stainless steel over the top of the crevice, which gives the putter more of a “tink” and less of a “funk” sound, says Rollinson. He says the chamber changes how the putter bends and vibrates at impact, producing the auditory feedback he knew Tour players and consumers wanted.

For the “roll” portion of “roll and sound experiment,” Odyssey uses its familiar Metal-X Milled face insert, with a mesh-like texture made from 17-4 stainless steel, to impart friction on the ball at impact to get it rolling faster on the green.

The MIlled Collection RSX putters will be available in three models; a #7, a slightly altered #1 model that will be called #001, and the V-line Fang, which was well-received in Japan. The putters will sell for $379.99 and be in stores July 15.

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.”
