Odyssey Black Series: Got it

[Donald MacKenzie]

Received my Odyssey Black Series 2 putter from Callaway today. The 2 is (like the Anser 2, Newport 2, etc.) a more square version of the classic Anser head shape. The BS 2 looks very nice, darker than the almost champaign/bronze color of some pictures I've seen. The steel front portion of the head is a matte gray, and the tungsten flange is a bit darker. The milling marks are very pronounced and very cool-looking – much more precise and machined-looking than the more irregular, done-by-hand look of Camerons (not judging, just saying). I've only rolled a few on the office carpet, but the putter feels heavier than I expect an Odyssey to feel.

Visually, I like the head shape, the stepless shaft (who makes it?) and the magnetic-closure head cover. I don't like the Odyssey shaft band (doesn't add anything but another Oydssey logo, and mine is slightly off-center; I'll be taking it off). Not sure yet if I like the grip, which seems a little too large (and garish). I'll post some pictures in the AM. Looking forward to trying this guy out on the course.

Here are some quick (and not so good) photos of the Black Series 2 now in captivity.
