Odyssey Black i #9 vs. White Hot Tour #9 - Which one?

[NativeTxn]

Between the White Hot Tour #9 brand new for about $90 and the Black i series #9 used (still in excellent shape, with only a couple of marks on the top of the head) for $130, which would you go for?

They feel pretty similar to me.

Are there any/many differences between the two (mainly thinking about the insert) other than their original cost and their trade-in/sale value?

Your opinions are appreciated.

If they feel similar i say go for the one you like the looks of best. Also price makes a difference to me!

Black series, no doubt about it.

They are pretty similar putters, with very similar inserts, the Black series is just a later version with updated engraving & paintfill.

I tried both and went with the WH Tour. It felt better to me, plus I liked the fact that the sight line went all the way back. I believe both models use the same insert (firmer than the XG series). Both are great putters.

Yeah, Odyssey makes a great product!

There are actually three different ones:

The WHT is a 340g head. There are two black i series that I could choose from - one with a 340g head, and the other with a 350g head. However, all three are the same length, which surprised me a bit since I figured the 350g head would be on a 33" or 34" shaft. Maybe it was reshafted or lengthened at some point. . .
