I’ve an Odyssey Sabre-tooth Putter and today the half the metallic insert popped out. As this item was purchased second hand it’s unlikely that Odyssey will repair. And suggestions on how I can repair or replace the insert. I appreciate any comments on this.

Shafting epoxy.

Thanks but not entirely sure how to do this as the metal plate is still partially fixed. If I lever it off I could end up bending it.

Just prised it off. Nothing really holding it on. Hardly surprising it pinged open. I’ll look for shafting epoxy.

Hmm...Is there enough room to get a few drops of super glue behind the insert?  If so; you could apply a bit of Chap-Stick to the visible surface area, glue it, and clamp it.  The Chap-Stick will keep any glue that squeezes out from bonding properly.

Hi, not sure about Chap-Stick but the metal insert is out completely. So the question is what to use to bond it an retain the characteristics.

You should at least contact Callaway.

Yea, contact Callaway. They may want to look at it anyway, who knows.

If you want to go the DIY route, I'm sure you can get away with any epoxy from the hardware store that bonds metal. Shafting epoxy is used on clubs because it has a higher shear strength, but on a putter it's probably not necessary.

Heck if that was my putter, I'd probably just Gorilla glue it on.

I'd use shafting epoxy.  It doesn't become brittle when it cures and can withstand vibration.  Adhesive caulk would work as well.  Any hardware store will have something appropriate.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
