This putter features our legendary White Hot insert, available in both a stepped steel and our new red Stroke Lab shaft, each fitted with our gray DFX grip.
Weight ports in the sole and the option to use Odyssey's StrokeLab shaft inject just the right amount of newness into an old standby. The White Hot OG 1 is our take on this traditional blade design with a Crank Hosel, giving this putter significant toe hang best suited for strokes with more face rotation and arc. Pronounced response for easier distance control. The newer but uber-popular #7 model, whose advent postdates the original White Hot days, gets its own representation in the line, too. This insert provides the following advantages: -A precision milled face, with grooves. The OG putters ( $219.99) feature that familiar insert and familiar shapes, from the 2-Ball to the half-mallet Rossie and #5 (the first insert putter I ever used). Some 20 years on from those original releases, around half of the pros who use Odyssey putters on the PGA Tour still use those old White Hot inserts, citing a preference for the feel, even over milled steel and newer insert materials. In 2001, the unveiling of the 2-Ball putter shape changed the game with regard to mallet putters. If you were playing golf around the turn of this century, you recall how Odyssey came to prominence in the putter market, first by the introduction of its White Hot putters, featuring an insert made of the same material as Callaway's then-nascent golf balls. Parent company Callaway Golf has married the putter shapes and insert materials from 2000's original White Hot line with a measure of contemporary innovation. Those white discs on the putter head mimic golf balls (they are the same size as the circumference of a golf ball) so that when you place a 2-Ball putter down behind your real golf ball, you get the appearance of three golf balls lined up in a row. Oh, and of course the butane finish was non-debatable. But in the case of Odyssey's new White Hot OG line of putters, there's real value in the past. I wanted the small head size, a solid alignment line on the topline, the plastic silver cavity badge, the XG on the sole engraved rather than a plastic insert, and either a classic White Hot XG or a White Ice insert. Sometimes, you can spot the cynical opportunism of such a move from a mile away because the "new" product is a cheap facsimile of the old. Get your audience believing a retro product will make them feel younger by transporting them back to their more innocent years and rake in the proceeds. Odyssey have also redistributed that saved weight by adding 10g to the head in the form of two sole weights, and adding 30g to the grip-end via a 10g-lighter grip and 40g end-weight.Nostalgia is a tried-and-true marketing tactic.
#REPLACING FACE ON AN ODYSSEY WHITE HOT PUTTER FULL#
The Stroke Lab shaft is a full 40 grams lighter than a traditional steel putter shaft, made possible by an innovative new multi-material shaft design that combines graphite with steel to weigh just 75g.
Stroke Lab Technology also helps golfers improve their putting stroke, including back swing length, face angle at impact, head speed through impact and tempo, all through a profound change in weight distribution made possible by an innovative new shaft.
These putters are beautiful and will appeal to golfers who prefer the look of a milled putter.
The putters come in a rich silver PVD finish, combined with milling on the surfaces to give the putters a ultra-premium look verses previous versions of White Hot. Tour professionals and recreational golfers alike have been asking Odyssey to reintroduce it for years and Odyssey have listened. The most popular putter insert of all time is back in the exact original formulation, original feel, original sound and original performance.
