Odyssey White Hot OG putters

-

Odyssey’s latest putter range draws upon two decades of success. The putters that featured the original White Hot insert – which is made of material from the ‘Rule 35’ golf ball – became immensely popular and still are, thanks to the exceptiona­l feel they provide.

Odyssey has taken the original idea in terms of feel, sound and performanc­e and brought it into 2021 by making it a two-part urethane insert. This has then been combined with a rich silver PVD finish on the rest of the head for a more premium aesthetic.

The putters will be available with either a stepless steel shaft or the multi-material Stroke Lab shaft, which now comes in a candy apple red finish. As well as new visuals, the Stroke Lab shaft has also been reconfigur­ed so that the steel section is shorter and stepless. This drops the weight by seven grams but makes the shaft stiffer, too. Testing shows this improves tempo and swing-arc metrics by six per cent and boosts face-impact consistenc­y by nine per cent.

The White Hot OG line-up includes the #1, #1WS, 2Ball, #5 and #7 models and the Rossie. All of the new putters will come with a grey DFX rubber grip as standard.
