Best Odyssey Putters 2024

Odyssey are the most played putter brand in the professional game for good reason. This is a brand that has become synonymous with designing and manufacturing some of the best putters in the world in recent years we've seen Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele winning majors while using an Odyssey flatstick. Odyssey has produced many iconic putters over the years, with the Odyssey 2-ball shape being one of the most memorable models ever created. They've also introduced modern technology like Stroke Lab shafts and Triple Track alignment that appears on their putters and on some of the best Callaway golf balls, plus the premium Toulon Design creations.

Odyssey produce putters in all shapes and sizes aimed at golfers of all skill levels, so needless to say there’s something for everyone here. Perhaps the thing that separates Odyssey from the competition is their amazing shaft technology, which ensures that the feel on all of their putters is excellent. If you want one of the best mallet putters, or perhaps one of the best blade putters, then Odyssey will at the forefront. If for any reason you decide that Odyssey is not for you though, 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.

The Quick List

Best Odyssey Putters

Used by Rahm

Odyssey's latest range of putters have really raised the bar for everybody else. What is so different about them? Well the clue is in the name; Artificial Intelligence. Callaway is the industry leader in A.I. and has been using it to great effect in making some of the best drivers on the market, and sister company Odyssey has now used those super-computing capabilities to create what it is calling “the most advanced insert in golf”. 

And it is. You can even see it thanks to a little window on the crown that reveals all of the contours at the back of the insert. Those contours on the back of the face were created by A.I. based on data from thousands of shots which allowed Odyssey to identify where on the face golfers tend to strike the ball. The face is designed to minimize ball speed losses on off-centre hits and greatly increase the sweet spot. 

According to Odyssey, Ai-One leaves putts up to 21 percent closer to the hole, which if true is quite a big deal, right? We cannot confirm that to be the case as there is no way for us to know, but it did perform superbly for us in testing. The Rossie is not as big and bulky as some of the other best mallet putters but we like the rounded shape and there is enough meat at the back of the head to put this in the conversation as one of the most forgiving putters. The navy PVD finish is different to other Odyssey designs out there and it certainly has a very premium look which we love.

The feel off the face was very pleasing too, particularly when used with a softer golf ball. Little wonder this is the putter of choice for Jon Rahm.

Most forgiving blade

The Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K putter is one of the best blade putters on the market as it brings high MOI to a blade putter shape. It achieves this thanks to large amounts of tungsten in the heel and toe of the putter which adds stability and creates a more forgiving blade that will suit an arc putting stroke. 

It also comes in a Double Wide design which is excellent and offers even more stability. The Tri-Hot range come with the stock Stroke Lab shaft for more consistency and in testing we found that the stability was very good for a blade, especially with a 50 degree toe hang weighting style. 

It is a standard size but somehow visually it gives the impression of being a little oversized which we think is a good thing and will no doubt increase confidence when stood over the ball.

Best premium blade

As mentioned above, the Ai-One and Ai-One Milled putters have used artificial intelligence to create what Odyssey is calling “the most advanced insert in golf”. Much the same as with the Rossie model above, the face of the Ai-One Milled Two T putter is the result of collating data to see where we strike the ball, and then using A.I. to create a face to help off-centre strikes. 

The Ai-One Milled range comes in at a higher price point than the standard model above, but the higher price is simply because of the build quality. Milled putters cost more to make so will therefore have a higher retail price. The multi-material construction of the milled range includes the same unique contours on the back of the face that the standard Ai_one putters have, although there is no window to view it on the Ai-One Milled putters.

In testing the thing that jumped out at us initially with the Two T was that the feel is fantastic, which you’d expect from a milled head with an A.I. created face insert. We were also impressed with the smooth roll and consistency in speed, but it's the overall premium look and feel of this putter that makes it so special.

Most forgiving

In our view the Odyssey Eleven putter is one of the most forgiving putters on the market. It's a super-high MOI mallet that comprises a steel crown with a lightweight TPU & aluminum under-body that utilises heavyweight steel weights in each of the back corners for greater forgiveness. There are three head designs available including a Tour Lined version with a full length single alignment line.

This is a futuristic looking putter featuring milling patterns that contrast nicely with the bright White Hot Face insert. There is no sight line on the plain version but in the right lighting you can see a subtle one created by the light reflecting off the raised centre of the crown, which we think is quite a cool touch. As you would expect, it's jam-packed with technology but the main take away we had from testing was that this is a putter that delivers on its aim to bring maximum stability in a head shape that is pleasing to look at.

Best large footprint

The Odyssey White Hot Versa 12 S putter features the brand's patented Versa alignment which is an aesthetically pleasing black and white contrasting design that was created following feedback from legendary short game coach, Phil Kenyon, as well as a number of the world's top professionals. This bold black and white contrast head really helps to aim the face correctly at address and maintain it throughout the stroke. 

In our opinion this is one of the best looking Odyssey putters in the game right now but there's more to it than fancy looks. For one thing this putter comes with plenty of forgiveness thanks to its large footprint. That said, the unusual shape probably won’t be to everyone’s taste, but we felt that the bigger head gave us a greater awareness of where putts were being struck. 

It also provides a premium feel thanks to the urethane material and White Hot insert which delivers a pleasing sound and weighty feel that makes the face feel very stable. For that reason it is the one of the best putters for high handicappers.

Best alignment

This putter might not swing itself, but that's basically the only thing it doesn't do as it takes care of everything else for you. The 2-Ball design has always been great for alignment but Odyssey has now added some even more useful alignment tools to the 2-Ball Ten.

The famous 2-Ball alignment helps you line the ball up correctly so the face comes in square at the point of impact, but now it also comes with the option of having triple track alignment lines too, and when used with the best Callaway golf balls (some of which also feature the triple track markings), make this the undisputed best alignment method around. 

In our testing we found it easy to align but noted that it was also extremely forgiving on off centre strikes, making it ideal for those who struggle to find that consistent roll. The feel off the face is soft but not excessively so, with a gentle and pleasing 'pop' sound. There is also the welcome addition of a larger stock grip which will please many, and although the feel overall was lighter than we were expecting (perhaps due to the lighter StrokeLab shaft design), our timing was on from the start and this will help golfers with faster tempos.

How we test

We take product testing very seriously and our reviews and buyers' guides are built upon a rigorous testing procedure supplemented by the knowledge and experience of the test team. When it comes to putters, we test extensively outdoors on real greens with premium golf balls to get a thorough understanding of design features, feel, sound and looks.  Ultimately, we aim to be as insightful and honest as possible in our reviews and we must stress that no manufacturer can buy a good review from us, as our team call it exactly how they see it. 

What to consider when buying an Odyssey putter

We would argue that the putter is the most important club in the bag as it's the one we use the most. Being proficient with the putter is the easiest way to knock shots off your score. When it comes to choosing one, you need to think about what you require as well as what you feel comfortable using. A confidence-inspiring design that suits your eye as well as your stroke can save countless shots on the greens and becoming a good putter is 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?

1. 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 so getting the right head shape is the first thing you need to decide and will then help you narrow down your selection further.

Mallet putters tend to be much larger than blades and they come in many weird and wonderful shapes and sizes. This extra size 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 stabilize 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 is ideal for the player who struggles to consistently strike putts from the middle of the face. The weight in the head also helps with this because it diminishes the twisting of the putter throughout the stroke too.

Additionally, if you struggle with alignment, a mallet putter can massively help with that too. Alignment plays a crucial part in putting because it is all about accuracy and a mallet putter will usually have excellent alignment lines to help 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.

2. 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.

3. Looks

You should get a putter that you like the look of, especially when over the ball, 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.

4. 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.
