If your shop doesn’t have a mirror, you can also go with the information about toe hang, or with the style of head that you know has worked for you in the past. Find an eyeFIT mirror, stand over it, and get your dash value. Today though, I am switching to the dash system that Odyssey is using via eyeFIT. Historically, I have used the iPING system to offer suggestions based upon how the putters fit the different swing arcs. Which One Should You Try?Īs always, the goal of a Club Reports article is to give you an idea about which of the new models would likely match your stroke. Add to that the new Odyssey eyeFIT Fitting Mirror, and you have a whole bunch of “new” coming from a company that is already #1 in the market. Insert-wise, Odyssey has outfitted the Versa with the updated version of the White Hot Pro insert (also new for 2013). It’s different, and if we again look back to tour performance, it’s working. The visual feedback is stronger than you would receive from any of the traditional alignment systems out there. The bold graphical design of the head allows you to see if you are open, closed, or square to your desired putting line. This graphic from that previous Versa article really explains the whole concept of how the coloration of the Versa line helps you to aim better. The short story about the Versa is alignment and accuracy. I have already talked a bit about the Versa concept when I shared their press kit with you a few weeks back. For the Versa to be a commercial success, they need your money, and to get that, you need to get what the Versa is all about. Odyssey doesn’t get any of that tournament money though. You can forget about that second part, Versa putters have already earned millions of tournament dollars this year, and we’re only one Major deep into the season. Something this different really has the potential to be a huge flop if the public doesn’t “get it”, or if the claims of the Versa line don’t hold up on the course. Instead though, those wacky designers at Odyssey Golf have produced a line of putters that are a real left turn from the norm in the Versa line. It would be easy to just roll out the same heads each year with some minor cosmetic tweaks. The introduction of the Odyssey Versa brings me back to a point that I made in the Bettinardi BB37 review Bob Bettinardi is big enough in the industry that he doesn’t need to come up with new head styles, but because he is dedicated to his craft, he still does. But have you really looked at them and realized that they don’t look like any other putters out there? “That’s interesting, but what’s that got to do with the Versa line?” Have you looked at the Versa line before? I know that you have seen these putters before, because, as I just said, tour pros are playing them. They could all probably make more endorsement money playing another putter, but they know that they will earn even more prize money by bagging an Odyssey. Luke Donald, Ian Poulter, Graeme Mc Dowell are all on staff with other companies, but game Odyssey putters. Is Ricky Fowler playing his Cameron GoLo still? Nope, it’s a Versa #7. Charles Howell III dropped Tiger with a Versa in round one of match play and also killed it in Hawaii. Using the player’s name costs money, but the golfing public knows who these stealth Odyssey-playing pros are. Who are these pros? If you follow Odyssey on Twitter, you know who is not getting paid by Odyssey because when these players do well, Odyssey will tweet that “a player” using an Odyssey putter just took down Tiger in match play. The number one statistic is impressive, but not as impressive as the number of tour pros who play Odyssey putters without getting a dime of money from Odyssey to do so. The pros, who are playing for serious money by the way, trust Odyssey putters. Odyssey Golf is the #1 putter company on tour. What’s Black and White and Played All Over?
