Odyssey Oworks Jailbird Mini

www.odysseygolf.com Weight: 350g Grip: Winn AVS Midsize Pistol X Toe hang: Face-balanced

TECH:

The putter Branden Grace used to post the lowest round ever in a Major, when he shot 62 at last year’s Open Championship. Much like Odyssey’s #7 fang putter, but with the fangs joined at the back to further improve stability. The double bend shaft and face balancing is well suited to straight back and through putting strokes.

WE SAY:

Odyssey is a master at sticking with tourproven head shapes and updating them with new technology. If you’re not a fan of the wacky or fanged head shapes used to create high MOI designs, then the Jailbird Mini is an excellent option as it’s very “normal” to look at and use. Our test pro loved the Oworks insert, noting how it gave a really consistent roll and very similar results, even when putts weren’t hit perfectly. This model is also available in red and with a slant neck (which gives a slight toe hang).

TOP GEAR VERDICT

The head design, Oworks insert and Super Stroke grip are all first class. In terms of MOI putters the Jailbird is the height of simplicity. That’s worth remembering if you’re picky when it comes to sightlines and alignment aids on your flat stick.
