Deep Face Putter
Odyssey Golf Putters-Black Series
The Odyssey company offers extensive lines of putters, and this article describes one of its product lines, the Odyssey Black Series putters.
The Odyssey Black Series consists of 3 putter head designs all taking advantage of the features of design and technology developed for this product line.
One element used in the three models is a tungsten flange at the rear of the putter head. This flange adds weight to the back of the putter head and creates a low center of gravity (center of gravity), which is deep in the club face. This feature helps to lift the ball a bit with the impact and reach to roll faster. Since the golf ball is actually located slightly below the green grass, hitting the putt initially at an angle help to throw up the ball rolling. In fact, there is a short video on the website Odyssey Black Series shows a comparison between these clubs and apparently other putter typical. The Black Series putter has the ball to roll about 1 ½ inch putter before others did. Working in conjunction with the placement of the CG is the loft the face of the putter. Each of the putter head of the line, called simply Black Series A no. 1, no. 2, no. 3, have a different loft angle of the face putter that is optimized to achieve the fastest possible roll to the center of gravity given in each particular putter head. The theory is that the earlier the ball stops skidding after impact and true roll starts, the more accurate the putt, and this certainly makes sense. It is also noted that the weighted flange helps create a higher moment of inertia as well, and this provides some forgiveness for putts not hit exactly on the "sweet spot" of the putter face.
These putters are definitely the top of the line and carry a retail price tag of $ 249 each. Black Series A no. 1 putter has a rounded blade heel-toe toe weighted putter with what is called "crank neck" hosel and shaft of compensation. The neck of the handle simply means that the displacement is achieved advancing the shaft at 90 degrees instead of a gradual bending of the hosel or shaft. Black Series no. 2 putter has the same features, but is more squared-off in appearance. Black Series model no. 3 is a mallet style putter with a double bend shaft that gives the same full-shaft offset.
The putter head is Carbon Steel 1025 and has a face design white mixture which indicates the impact zone. In other words, the face has two different mill patterns on it. There is also a urethane coating buffer between the head flange and carbon steel dampens vibration grind.
The three traditional shaped heads of putters Odyssey Golf Back the series offer an interesting alternative for serious golfer who prefers a traditional type of view and can afford to spend $ 249 on his putter. They are certainly worth a glance.
