SCROLL THROUGH THE SLIDESHOW TO VIEW PHOTOS OF ALL 3 ODYSSEY EXO PUTTERS! ODYSSEY .............. TIME TO SHINE ODYSSEY UNVEILS THREE EXO PUTTER STYLES T hey say good things come in threes and you could definitely say that about Callaway Golf's new line of Odyssey EXO putters. Released in mid-May, the mallet putters include the Seven, Indianapolis and Rossie models, each available in a double-bend option for face balance and an S-neck option for toe hang. "It's a fairly tight line," said Luke Williams, Callaway's Senior Direc- tor of Product and Brand Management, Putters. "The objective was to deliver dramatic increases in moment of inertia. By going with a multi- material construction, we were able to take weight out of the center and move it to the perimeter like you would in a driver or cavity-back iron." The EXO line is built using stainless steel around the perimeter and lightweight aluminum in the cen- ter providing superior stability and forgiveness, as well as giving the putters an MOI about 50 percent higher than previous models from Odyssey. "Off-center hits will roll a little straighter. But even more significant, when you hit it off the heel or toe, you lose less ball speed," Williams said. "Putts that you hit off the heel and might nor- mally come up a little short will now roll out more like a center hit." The EXO line features a new version of Odyssey's Microhinge in- sert – which creates immediate forward roll for more consistent accu- racy and distance control – and combined it with the familiar sound and feel of Odyssey's White Hot technology. "The feedback has been great," Williams said. "We're really excited about the potential." > SHOP HERE READ MORE at the Leading Edge blog.
