Odyssey Golf has been on a roll since April of 1996. Though that spring’s Masters is better remembered as the year Greg Norman lost a six-shot lead in the final round, equipment buffs remember it for the putter craze set off by winner Nick Faldo. Nick wielded a Dual Force Rossie 2 to great effect, and the “insert” putter niche was crafted.
Odyssey, a Callaway Golf brand, is almost always the first or second ranked putter each week in the Darrell Survey, and their tagline “#1 putter in Golf” is true for many – visit your local muni and you’re bound to find plenty of 2-Balls or 2-Ball knockoffs. The insert market is, for the most part, owned by Odyssey, despite attempts by nearly every other putter manufacturer to best company with the hurricane-like logo.
Design and Technology
The Odyssey White Hot Pro features some proven technology with some modern improvements. These putters feature a new and improved White Hot insert that has been modified for better sound and performance while still maintaining the soft feel golfers have come to know. The White Hot Pro line of putters has multiple head designs to choose from, all with a glare reducing gun metal finish. The White Hot Pro V-Line is a face balance, perimeter weighted mallet. With a high-def alignment system and simple head shape, this putter creates happy thoughts when the golfer is standing over it.
The White Hot Pro line features tried and true Tour models, a Gun Metal PVD finish and the most consistent, best feeling White Hot insert we’ve ever created. With more wins, top-10s and usage across the world’s Tours, our inserts have become an iconic part of the game. Through consistent testing with the best players in the world, our engineers have developed a new and improved White Hot insert that is more consistent in sound, feel and performance across the entire striking surface.
More Consistent Sound and Feel
New and improved White Hot insert is highly engineered to create more consistent sound, feel and performance through impact.
New Laser Milling Insert Cutting Process
Allows us to achieve extremely tight tolerances for more consistent performance across the striking surface than ever before.
Options For All Players
Includes a handful of major-winning, Tour proven head shapes. We’ve also developed new head shapes, including a high MOI mallet with a modified Hi-Def alignment system (V-Line) and a smaller version of the popular D.A.R.T. Putter (D.A.R.T. Mini).
Reduces Glare
Tour inspired Gun Metal PVD finish creates an industrial, non-glare look at address and through the stroke, and the PVD process increases wear resistance for incredible durability.
Our Promise for Odyssey White Hot Pro Putters
An Odyssey Putter is a promise made. Sure, we design each of our putters to help you slay more demons and sink more putts. But we also design them to withstand any kind of punishment you can dish out and we back them up with an Odyssey assurance of quality. We rarely see a putter returned, but if you find a defect within a two-year period, we'll repair it or replace it. No questions asked. And that's a promise kept.
Review: "Haven't seen much buzz for this so I thought I'd share. I had a Golfsmith gift card to burn and have always wanted to try a putter with more alignment aids, but that wasn't overly complicated looking. These thoughts are over several visits to various stores over the winter. I'll put this out now and get over with it: the Versa line didn't work for me. The color scheme does not make a difference for my alignment, all the heads felt too light, and the grip used on those is awful. I tried all the heads and lengths I could but never got comfortable with any of them. I tried the White Hot Pro #7, which felt nice and stable and framed the ball really nice, but for some reason I always felt like it was fighting my stroke. I somehow made almost every short putt I tried with the #7, but it just didn't feel right oddly enough. I have a slight arc with a little forward shaft lean, per the iPing app, and typically use an Odyssey ProType 7 (White Hot 330M shape), after switching from SC Del Mars and JATs. It could be that the face balanced putter didn't work, but as soon as I picked up the V-Line, it looked right and felt right and I was making putts all over the store. It didn't fight my stroke, nor did I have to fiddle with it to line it up or make it sit right. Again, I was making putts from like the used club racks and clothing section. Yes, really scientific testing here.
I also really liked the SC GoLo, finish and feel were amazing, just as easy to line up, but could not justify paying almost three times more. Another putter that caught my eye was the Ping TR Shea, and IMO the TR insert felt surprisingly good, maybe even better than the WHP insert, but it was too similar to my PT7, so I decided against it.
Like my 3Deep thread, this will be an ongoing review, and here are some initial impressions of the V-Line from my mini-golf style testing in the store and on my putting mat.
