I just had to share my excitement because my new odyssey black series i#1 came in today. this putter is so cool. First of all, it's gorgeous to look at. Nice, squared off and clean. The insert is pretty sweet. Definitely firmer than the white hot xg and tour inserts. It's not a loud insert but I kind of like that, gets me swinging through the ball without a stopping hesitation. Testing this baby out on the practice green, I was just putting all these balls in the hole, never seen so many go down before. Before this putter, I was using a cheap affinity one but it felt great and I figured, my missed puts were mostly from a bad setup. I didn't realize that these researched putters gave so much more forgiveness. Just like before I picked up my r7 driver, I thought a club was a club, and then I played with a taylormade for one round and I was reborn. But back to the putter. The weight of it is another big feature. The tungsen weighting definitely helps out a lot and gets the ball rolling and rolling on line. I did try the black series milled and noticed it felt lighter which I didn't like so much. Well, anyways, fantastic putter. I'm excited to see how it's gonna help me get that ball to the hole.

    • Day 4 (12 Mar 26) - nine hole session with grandson - played along side him from most fwd tees with seven  club setup -D,7w, 5,7,9,55° and putter.  Worked with him on his green side approach play.  Had some great shot making opportunities on my own, best part was seeing him make solid swings.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
