Pros: The new "White Steel" insert is an audibly pleasing addition to the White Hot face. It still very much has the soft white hot feel, and slightly muted sound, but a slight "click" at impact and a marginally firmer feel. I would liken the feel of the face to the Cameron Red X line. Winn grip is dreadfully ugly but very comfortable. Distance control was very good.
Cons: Odyssey has added some alignment "lines" to the primeter of the 2 white discs to aid in alignment. They really offer no more help in aligning the putter. The "Tour Lined" models of the current 2 Ball line are more accurate in my opinion. Also, they did away with the plumber's neck, and the shaft now enters directly into the heel of the putter like the mallet style, making it much less "Blade" like.
White Steel 2 Ball Blade Quality: I have a 2 Ball DFX and a White Hot #1 from Odyssey and both are very well put together. I'm not sure how they adhere the steel insert into the white hot material, so I guess only time would tell if it holds up or comes "unglued."
Review & Rating Summary: The best part about Odyessey is they are always coming out with new products to give golfers more choices. This is a good putter, but it doesn't seem to really improve much over Odyssey's White Hot line or 2 Balls. It gives a different auditory gauge by which to judge the hit you place on the ball. I think the Tour Fill/Lined option in the 2 balls is the best offering they currently have. If you are a real "sound-oriented" putter, however, this may be a great choice.
