Details: Details: The new Odyssey 2-Ball Putter is a somewhat slimmer version of the old favorite. It’s a little longer from heel to toe and more square from front to back. The 2-ball alignment system is still the prominent feature.
Purchase: Purchase: $170 at most retail outlets.
Pros: Pros: There has always been a feeling of comfort with this putter for me. Friends have told me the same thing. It takes a little practice like all new pieces of equipment. But the system is helpful.
Cons: Cons: When it first came out, it was a trauma to the eyes. But now, there is much less of that with all of the strange-headed putters on the market. Tough to think of any real downs to this putter.
Quality: Quality: Odyssey has been making putters for a long time now. That speaks well to their quality.
Review Summary: Summary Review: The steel face on the putter gives it a very soft, but solid feel. Certainly mid-range priced, but if it doesn’t fit your eye, then you’ll never feel comfortable with it.

Purchase: I just purchased this wonderful putter through an EBAY auction. I paid $152.50 for the item brand new with a cover. My story for purchasing this model is simple, I was given a challange to put a few long puts on a local course green with my current putter, and then with a demonstration model of the Odyssey 2-Ball model 35". I was amazed, what a difference!
Pros: The accurate alinement using the two white ball marks along with the actual golf ball was unreal, you could actually see the line, and note if it was streight.The balance was so natural, you could not help but swing it evenly, and watching the two white ball marks showed just how fast you were swinging the club, so you could be consistant. The fron face contact point was padded with a plastic type of material which aided in the overall feel and made the put seem to roll of instead of hitting the ball.
Cons: The overall size surprised me at first, comming from a smaller and flatter putter, but you get used to that, and the weight is also surprisingly light for it's size, but that too is fine with a little use.
Quality: The quality of this putter is what makes it a more costly club. There is no cheap material or shortcuts I can find. The head is a molded construction, and very light. The shaft and grip seems to be well made. This is just a well built, and designed putter.
Review Summary: After using this putter in many different situations, I am convinced it has removed at least 5 strokes from my game, if not more. It is easy to use and understand, and it makes putting much more fun and precise. The feel and results from using this club ave taken the worst part of my game, and made it the best.
