The White Hot insert makes a familiarly 'clicky' sound at impact which isn’t exactly to my preference to be honest, although it is technology which has stood the test of time and is very popular with lots and lots of golfers. There’s a clear black line on the back of the putter head which is there to aid alignment and, although this didn’t continue right onto the topline (which is my preference) it was still pretty easy to line it up. With a price tag of £239 you’d expect it to feel premium and it doesn’t disappoint in that respect, with the eye-catching red colourway of the Stroke Lab shaft matching well with the writing on the sole and the putter’s headcover. The Double Wide still looks like a blade putter with a nice squat shape and it isn’t too big of a footprint either, so if you’ve been used to an Anser-style for years but are contemplating a little more stability then it shouldn’t be too big of a transition. It’s a clean design with a brushed chrome-look head and white face insert, exactly as you’d picture it in your mind if someone asked you to describe an Odyssey. The White Hot OG Double Wide pretty much gives you exactly what you’d want and expect from an Odyssey putter. Odyssey White Hot OG Double Wide Putter Review Looks The putter is also fitted with a new pistol shaped grip in a slight update compared to the original White Hot OG range, where the options were for an oversized grip or a standard thin grip. This latest iteration is said to have added even more stability than in previous years, as the steel section has been shortened and 7 grams of weight have been saved. The putters feature a rich silver PVD finish with fine milling on the surface to give them a premium look, and they are available in either a stepless steel shaft or the newly updated Stroke Lab shaft. In the last few years the brand had tried a number of new inserts including the Microhinge and Microhinge Star but this is the one that golfers asked for. It’s a double bend face-balanced putter which Odyssey says is best suited to golfers who have strokes without much arc or face rotation.Īs the name suggests, the main talking point for this putter range is the return of the White Hot insert, which Odyssey say is the most iconic, most played and most decorated putter insert of all time, with over 20 years of success for both amateurs and professionals alike. The new Odyssey White Hot OG Double Wide Stroke Lab Putter is, first things first, not the catchiest of names, although it does at least give an indication of some of the technology you can expect to see. Odyssey have stuck with a wide blade option in pretty much every putter range they have released since, and their latest White Hot OG family is no different. You get the general look and feel of a blade putter, with a bit more stability in the face and more forgiveness like you’d get with a mallet. I remember thinking at the time that this was a great idea. When Danny Willett won The Masters back in 2016 thanks to Jordan Spieth’s collapse, he did so with an Odyssey wide blade putter in the bag. ![]()
