Callaway Odyssey RX
By S. Dee Davis
When I tested the 35′′ version of this putter I noticed immediately that the offset design (plumbers neck hose) beckons back to the Ping Answer days when that was one of the best putters. It’s a similar design with the offset healtoe weighted features that have been so popular since Tom Watson. The head on this putter is a little larger. It has a tacky soft rubber contoured grip that feels good in the hands and will not lose its grip when sweaty or wet. The head is very hard and matte silver in color. The face has the Odyssey’s white super hard and very slightly textured polymer face. The blade of this putter sits very nicely square at address. No hook or open face.
Strengths
