I just recently purchased an Odyssey Versa 90 #7 because I love the look and the feel of the putter. Here is the issue, I notice every so often when I putt, the ball will actually skid a good amount. This is something I'm not used to seeing.

I've putted with a Rossa Suzuka and most recently a Scotty Cameron California Coranado until a few weeks ago and never had this happen.  I even went back and tested these two older putters to see if it was me and could not replicate a skid.

So, I'm thinking it's not my putting stroke. Has anyone else noticed this as an issue. Believe it or not, it's an issue I've seen before when testing Odyssey putters in the store and has always kept me away from them. I figured the new insert would stop this from hapening..

It sucks, because I love the look and feel of this putter, and think it really helps me line up my putts better, but I cannot live with this skidding issue.

Let me know if anyone else has ever noticed this with this or any of the Odyssey White Insert Putters.

Maybe it's me. I really want to love this putter.

    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
