WHAT'S NEW

w
hen one of the most renowned putter
manufacturers in the world announces its
latest technology is a game-changer, people
tend to listen. And Odyssey Golf 's latest line of O-
Works putters has caught the ears of many.
The technology is called Microhinge, which
consists of two pieces, a 304 stainless steel Hinge
Plate backed by a soft thermoplastic elastomer
inner layer. That sounds technical and it is, with
each insert the culmination of a rigorous 23-step
production process.
The proprietary insert is designed to gently
flex and rebound at impact to produce forward
spin, which is critical to get the ball rolling imme-
diately, smoothly and accurately. And while you
still might not generate as much forward spin as
a tour player, this will help you get closer than
you've ever been.

rolling out new enhancements to the #1 ball
G
etting to the top of anything is tough, but
staying on top is even tougher. And even
though the Titleist Pro V1 has been the domi-
nant golf ball in the world since its introduction in
2000 as the most played, purchased and recognizable
ball on the market, it just keeps getting better.
Enhancements to the core, cover system, casing
layer and dimple design have resulted in a ball for
2017 that retains the Pro V1's customary soft feel and
durability, but with less spin, longer distance and
more consistent flight.
The new spherically designed dimples produce a
higher trajectory and the new core results in faster
ball speeds and less spin on shots with the driver.
"The biggest change in both balls is the dimple
count and dimple pattern," said Rowdy Bank, Store
Manager at The Golf Mart of San Diego. "These
changes were made to optimize both trajectory and
stability in the wind."
Bank said both balls have low spin characteristics
off the driver and long irons to help with control and
distance, and have more spin as you work your way
to the wedges to help with distance control and accu-
racy. The Pro V1 will fly lower off the driver, spin less
around the green, and feel softer than the Pro V1x.
"Together, the 2017 Pro V1 and Pro V1x balls are
for any and every golfer," Bank said. "A great ball
just got even better."
