Hello Folks,

I put reasonably well with the 2 ball putter. Now Odyssey gives us a choice, by producing one with a line through the two balls. My first thought its too much to think about during the set up. But then again maybe an advantage on short straight putts. No dealers in my area yet has one in stock I can try out.

Can anyone share their experiences, or thoughts on the subject. I did here through the grapevine, several pros are swithing to the lined two ball.

Thx, Fred

My Odyssey 2 ball is lined. I draw a line on my ball, and in my putting routine use it to line up my putts. The line on the club makes it easier to square the putter head to my intended line, and my putts have been far better since doing this. It takes all the guess work out of it, and allows me to just concentrate on speed. If I didnt have a line on my ball, I am not sure that the lined putter would really help. Just my 2 cents.

if you are at all geometrically and spatially inclined you can use a ruler and draw a line on your putter, I almost laughed when I noticed the lined putter was 30 dollars more than the standard version... some people will just pay for anything

I used some blue painters tape, a plastic bag for masking, and some red spray paint. Worked great. Having the line made it easier for me to hit the center of the putter as it gave me a specific point to focus on contacting the ball with. (Of course I've since switched back to a white steel #1 putter...)

I've seen people use a sharpie and a ruler to make the line since the original 2 ball came out. Works great if it suits your eye.

haha yes all great ways to make the line on your putter, especially the painters tape and spray paint. I've noticed they don't make the "tour fill" versions anymore. I've never owned a two ball but would definately consider one if I had another 200 dollars to just spend. My scotty works well for me even though I am a bit more consistent with a blade putter. Every time I play with a friend of any random person with a two ball or a red x and they let me take a few strokes I just make more putts.

Odyssey XG heel shaft 2 ball lined delivering today. Looks like my other putters will dwell in closet darkness, for a while anyway.

Thanks for the feedback!

    • Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.
    • Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.
    • You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.
    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
