Odyssey sent me one of their latest putters, called the Versa and it's got some interesting visual technology.  I hit some putts with it yesterday and was surprised how many putts I was making.  Surprised because I tend to like mallet putters and don't like putters that don't have a line on them.  But visually this putter seemed to work well because I was using the cavity to line up my putts.  May look very different when you look at these pics but it's kinda cool when you actually hit some putts with it.

The model they sent me was the #1 design, I'm sure they'll have more when they officially release the putter.  I'm interested to see what the other designs look like.  Might also be different combinations.  The promo pics on the box feature a putter that goes black, white, black while the putter I go is white, black, white.

That is really interesting.  I like it!  It's pretty similar to the style of putter I use already (Ping Pal 2) so I might have to give it a shot.  (If I knew about this last week, I may have tried to sneak inside to the putting lab to try it out)

Maybe it's just a shadow or something in the photo, but on the one looking at it from the toe, it appears as though the putter has quite a bit of loft?

Oh, and the hat is slick too!

That's the topline and then the toe. You're seeing it as the loft. Look at how the hosel is rotated. The camera is close so both the leading edge and the trailing edge are going to the vanishing point on the horizon. :)

OK, got it.  Plus it's a solid blurry white so there's no depth perception. (Wouldn't have minded ... I have a fairly pronounced forward press so maybe a little extra loft would be good for me??)

To my eye, it's not like the Metal X putters, I'm guessing it's similar to some of their other recent models, an elastomer/urethane blend.  Price will probably be somewhere between $100-150.

Yes Erik nailed it and I'm happy that the worst pic I took is getting all the attention LOL  Nothing unusual going on with the loft.  You might be able to order Odyssey putters with some extra loft, not sure.

You are the luckiest person I know...companies just send you their new product to test out and write reviews. Im so envious. I like the putter...not much new to the shape but I can see how the paint accentuates the face angle. Very cool

Looks like a cool putter but will be interested to see how it feels and lines up.  The pictures give it the appearance of being plastic but the box is very cool.

This one is for the really upscale Country Clubs, huh?  (It looks like your putter is wearing a tuxedo) :)

That and for the group that hits into you while you're still putting on that reachable par 5 - it doubles down as an ice pick.

I like the #7, just tried out the Metal X version but will hold off to give this one a try first.  No Versa 90 #7 for a lefty, bummer

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
