Best Odyssey Putters

When you look at the best Odyssey putters, you are looking at a brand that has become synonymous with designing and manufacturing some of the best putters (opens in new tab) in the world for a long time now.

The brand accounts for four in every 10 putters sold and over 50 per cent of the putters in play on the European Tour and it is the No. 1 on every major tour worldwide.

The Odyssey 2-ball shape is as iconic as it gets in the putter market while the brand also has modern technology like Stroke Lab shafts and Triple Track alignment that appears on their putters and ball, plus of course the premium Toulon Design creations.

Needless to say there’s something for everyone here and, through some amazing shaft technology, the feel on all these putters is excellent. If you struggle with your alignment and want the best mallet putters or you’re after something that looks sensational and want the best blade putters then here are some of the best putters in the Odyssey range. 

Alternatively, if Odyssey is not for you, then we have also created guides on other brands, such as the best Scotty Cameron putters, the best TaylorMade putters, and even the best Ping putters currently on sale.

Best Classic Odyssey Putters

As you would expect from one of the top putter brands, Odyssey has created many classic head shapes that have stood the test of time. Most of these are available in several of their ranges so that you can get the face insert, alignment option and colour scheme of your choice. Here are our recommendations from our putter reviews for the best classic Odyssey putter shapes.

The Odyssey DFX 2-Ball features the classic shape that also appears in the Odyssey White Hot OG putter range. The excellent balance of this head is immediately noticeable when rolling a few putts and the performance can't be faulted as it is easy to stroke and get putts rolling end over end consistently. 

The DFX version features a slightly softer insert than the White Hot OG and the darker colour scheme really makes the 2-Ball design stand out. Whichever insert you prefer then the tried and trusted 2-Ball design will deliver.

The Odyssey White Hot OG #7 Nano putter is the smaller version of the classic #7 shape. This fang shape is almost as iconic as the White Hot insert itself and is ideal if you struggle with hitting the ball out of the centre of the face consistently.

The smaller Nano version is more forgiving than it looks, but if you need that extra size then go for the standard White Hot OG #7 and benefit from a very stable putter with good alignment features

There are a number of blades in the Odyssey White Hot OG range and the #1 shape is the classic Anser style that combines looks with heel and toe weighting. Available in a variety of Odyssey ranges, the #1 shape in the White Hot OG version performs like the White Hot putter of old, but with today’s technology. 

The original feel and sound of the old insert has been maintained with the two-part urethane insert bringing the putter right into the 21st century. There is also a much more premium aesthetic on these putters thanks to the silver PVD finish.

What to consider when buying an Odyssey putter

When it comes to arguably the most important golf club in the bag, you need to think about what you want and what you like to use when it comes to the putter. A confidence-inspiring design that suits your eye and suits your stroke can save countless shots on the greens and a good flatstick is often the easiest way to bring your handicap down. So what are the things you need to mull over before purchasing one of the best Odyssey putters?

Head Design

Putters come in a traditional blade, mid-mallet or a mallet design. All three styles have positives and negatives to them for every player, and luckily, lots of brands implement technologies across all three.

Mallet putters tend to be much larger than blades and they usually come in various shapes and sizes. This helps in a number of ways. A lot of the time most of the weight in a mallet putter can be found in the club face but because of its design, weight can then be redistributed to other parts of the head which can help stabilise your stroke. The weight of the putter in the perimeter of the clubhead offers better balance than what can be offered from a blade putter.

Mallet putters tend to also have a larger sweet spot which can be beneficial if you are a player who struggles to consistently strike your putts out of the middle of the face. The weight in the head also helps here because it diminishes the twisting of the putter throughout the stroke too.

Additionally, if you struggle with alignment, a mallet putter could be the way to go. Alignment plays a crucial part in putting because it is all about accuracy and a mallet putter can be beneficial here by helping your eyes line up the putt.

A blade putter is a lot simpler in terms of design and will suit the traditionalists a lot more than some of the mallet putters pictured above. Blades also tend to suit players with an arc to their stroke because of the toe-weighted nature of the head.

Feel

Here, we’re talking not just about the feel and sound the ball makes coming off the face but how the putter feels in your hands.

A quieter sound contributes to a softer feel, whereas a louder sound usually translates into a firmer feel. A firmer feel is often the product of shallow grooves or no grooves at all on the face, where sound can’t be dissipated as effectively. They work better with softer feeling golf balls, where as soft-feeling putters work best with firmer golf balls.

You can get putters with adjustable weights in the sole that will alter the feel of the putter. For example, if your stroke is quite smooth and slow, a heavier putter will encourage that more. Jerky putters may prefer a lighter putter, although opting for more weight may reduce it, depending on what your goals are.

The putter grip plays a huge roll in the confidence you feel with a putter. Get one that feels right and sits in your hands comfortably while allowing you to return the putter back to the ball squarely and consistently.

Looks

You should get a putter that you like the look of as the aesthetics can play a role in inspiring or diminishing confidence on the greens.

Blades won’t offer as much alignment assistance, but are still popular because of how they feel and the levels of forgiveness are increasing every year.

Mallet putters have more real estate, and can therefore provide more help to set the face squarely. Mid-mallets are somewhere in the middle, offering a decent level of assistance without looking too cumbersome.

Value

Our final tip is to think about price because while there are some premium designs out there, there are also some models which offer excellent value. All putters will propel the ball towards the hole, but they do it in different ways. If performance is more important than looks or feel, there are lots of cut-price options out there that will do a good job and you can spend more money on other areas of your bag.
