Technology
The story of the Odyssey White Hot OG putters begins with the return of the original White Hot insert. Made from two pieces of urethane, the White Hot insert softens the feel, improves sound, and delivers feedback and performance that has been proven for years by the best golfers all over the world.
Odyssey uses a rich silver PVD finish for a unique look never before seen on a White Hot putter. Engineers also fine-milled the surface of every putter. This clean look and stylish finish will please the eye of golfers who love the traditional look of a milled putter.
Finally, the White Hot OG putters offer models with Odyssey’s signature Stroke Lab shaft. The Stroke Lab shaft is slightly stiffer and has less torque compared to a standard putter shaft to provide better control over the slightly heavier head. It also features a tip-heavy design which saves 40 grams of weight that is relocated to provide smoother performance. It is then finished off with a gray DFX Rubber Grip for a classic look and feel.
Performance
We tested the performance of the Odyssey White Hot OG putters with the help of Rick Hatfield. Rick is the head golf pro at Flint Hills National Golf Club and TGW’s resident product expert. He noted right away that these putters set up clean and square at address with a classic look. His distance control was precise thanks to the soft-feeling, original formula White Hot insert. Rick had no problems consistently sinking putts and controlling his speed with these traditional golf club designs.
