Finally plunked down the 140.00 my local pro shop wanted for an Odyssey White Hot Tour Rossie putter I had my eyes on, and immediately took it out for a round. Didn't even practice with it. Wow. My last putter was a TM Imola blade, too long and light. I got the new one in 34 inches and the head is much heavier. Despite the front nine getting used to speed and distance, the back bincr came off beautifully, and I holed an 18 bending, downhill fringe putt on 18 to save par. What a difference in confidance a new piece of equipment has on you overall.

Highly recommended.

Love Odyssey putters.

I was at a local shop and was just testing out some new putters because the one I have is way too light and gives me a tough time. I went and tested out the Odyssey Sabertooth putter and fell in love with it. Very comfortable in the hands and I'm able to get a beautiful, smooth stroke with it. Didn't buy it, but might have to fork out for it soon.

I'm getting a putter soon aswell. Might be an odyssey, or maybe a bettinardi. I don't know yet.

it's all about confidence

I have this thing about OTR putters... I just have to change things to make it feel unique and my own. Could be something small like changing the grip right away or reshafting with a heavier shaft... say a nippon putter shaft (of if im bold a graphite, but have yet to travel down that road)

I love to get my sticks refinished (oil can is great but the upkeep is a lot)

this is a very interesting post (for me .. at least)

i have been playing with and Odyssey-White-Hot-XG-2-Ball-Blade putter ........ COPY !! (I am in Thailand )

but 3 weeks ago i bought an original from Bangkok (for about 5X 'times' the price)

but the difference it has made is inquantifiable !!


I honestly beleive it is a 'placebo' effect (because the weight is in-distinguishable) but the contact between the face and the ball 'seems' nicer, that has helped my putting stats !!!?

I honestly don't think the putter makes the difference .. i think it is what "You" think, makes the difference is what helps..
if that is an expensive putter / or your old putter from child-hood.. then so be it..

as the poster above stated ....'confidence' !

Bought a Scotty Cameron yesterday. Gotted rained out today, so haven't hit it for real yet. Family room, only. I'm now guaranteed to make EVERYTHING I look at, right?
Swing hard in case you hit it.

Yep. That's it exactly. It's a very classic looking putter, but tough to align (only a white dot on the topline), and way too light for the municipal greens I play on. Plus it was too long, I'm 6 foot and had to choke down on it to get my eyes over the ball. Just couldn't control distance very well at all.

It might work much better for a better player, though.

The biggest thing a new putter helps with his your confidence...I had a 120 dollar Ping Anser G5I, and i was putting terrible...so I went to my local pro shop and found this Tour Edge putter, and I was feeling it, and it felt real nice...so, I bought it (HOW COULD YOU BEAT THE 30 DOLLAR PRICE TAG? LOL) it was a low risk/high reward item...

after about a month with it, i love it. i can't beat it right now for the price. I haven't three putted in about 40 holes...which is VERY VERY good for me (i really struggle on putts over 20 feet to get them close)...and I only had 29 putts in my last tournament round, which I consider pretty low.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
