ODYSSEY BLACK SERIES 1
TECH STORY
The milled soft 1025 carbon-steel head is fitted with a tungsten flange to move weight back and low for a high moment of inertia and improved roll. A double-layer face insert (a resilient elastomer behind a thin, firm outer layer) provides optimal feel, and the loft fits the putter’s center of gravity. The series includes two blade-like models, the #1 (a classic Anser style) and the #9 (the half-mallet look preferred by Phil Mickelson).
PLAYER COMMENTS
“This is the shiny little birthday present that I’ll be hoping for. . . . This putter has great balance. Rolls true. . . . The firm insert gives it a nice, confident feel. . . . It’s a solid putter, and the response on the mis-hits is there — especially on toe hits. . . . The chrome color is sharp without causing glare, and the roll on this putter is otherworldly.”
HOT
The best-looking Odyssey on the market, but this isn’t just another high-end blade. It’s got some serious technological horsepower.
NOT
Some might have to adjust to its soft sound.
