THE KEY TECH IN DETAIL

Forward centre of gravity

Blades naturally have a forward centre of gravity as their bodies are so narrow. Odyssey’s engineers wanted to make sure they didn’t lose this while chasing MOI performance, as that’s what gives the launch, feel and ball speed control that many blade advocates love. A forward centre of gravity also creates less sidespin on off-centre hits, so you get a tighter dispersion and more chance of holing imperfect putts.

Ultimate multimaterial design

Stainless steel, aircraft-grade aluminium and over 120g of tungsten come together within each Tri-hot 5K head. The front (including the hosel) is made from 303 stainless steel, which helps keep the CG forward, before a Cnc-milled aluminium body is fixed to the back of the face with chambers to position 120g+ of tungsten in the toe and heel. The design creates an MOI of over 5,000gcm², which Odyssey say is unheard of in a traditionalsized blade.

Gains on the green

Odyssey compared their 5K models against blade fans’ favourite the Scotty Cameron Newport, on a putting robot. They say the Tri-hot hit putts into a 44% smaller area, produced a 20% tighter dispersion and a 15% improvement in distance control.

Weight a minute

To ensure golfers have the opportunity to tailor each of the Trihot models to their individual weight and balance tastes, interchangeable weights in the sole can be either aluminium (light), steel (standard), or tungsten (heavy). Of course, you’ll need a fitting session to decide which is best for you.

White Hot insert

Over half the putters Odyssey make for their pros are requested with the legendary White Hot urethane insert. After years of trying to convince golfers there are better options for improving top spin and roll, the White Hot is now firmly back on the menu. Each Tri-hot 5K comes with one, along with a
