Odyssey unveils new high-MOI putters
Published: Last updated:
Odyssey, the No.1 putter on Tour, has announced the release of two larger-headed, high MOI putters.
Part of the revolutionary Versa family, the Jailbird represents the next step in high contrast visionary alignment by using Double Versa Technology to give golfers the opportunity to highlight a proper face angle at address, through the stroke and at impact.
In tests, Double Versa Technology allowed over 50% of golfers to align better and nearly 70% to align more consistently. It also produced an impact angle improvement for nearly 50% of testers, with almost three-quarters seeing their consistency also improve.
This technology is coupled with a new and improved laser-milled version of the White Hot insert for a more consistent sound, better feel and improved performance across the striking surface.
“Versa Technology has been a revelation and new ‘Double Versa’, featuring in the Jailbird model, pushes its effectiveness even further,” said Austie Rollinson, Principal Designer, Odyssey Golf. “All golfers, whether a Tour pro or game enjoyer, can immediately see how their putter is aligned to the target, improving confidence and ultimately keeping more putts on line and hitting the back of the cup!”
Along with the Jailbird, other new Versa models for 2014 include the #7CS, 330 Mallet and Sabertooth. The Jailbird is available in 33, 34 and 35-inch lengths with an RRP of £159.
The second high-MOI putter from Odyssey is the Havok putter, which features a revolutionary ‘Stretched’ head design, which pushes forgiveness and ease-of-alignment to new levels.
Featuring a Tour-inspired gunmetal PVD finish that creates an industrial, non-glare look at address and through the stroke, the Havok Mallet has a modified hi-def alignment system (v-line) and ultra high MOI, keeping more putts online, even on off-centre strikes.
Austie Rollinson, Principal Designer, Odyssey Golf, said: “The new Havok is an expression of what is possible in the design of high MOI putters. Added to the obvious forgiveness and alignment benefits of Havok, we’ve also created a design that is still incredibly pleasing to the eye, aiding confidence.”
The Havok is available in 33, 34 and 35-inch lengths with an RRP of £149. Other new models adding to the comprehensive White Hot Pro line for 2014 include the #2 and #7CS.
