I really like this putter even I do have one complain. I don't like that there are no lines on the putter. I do realize that the 2 balls are for line, but they aren't accurate enough for me on the shorter putts. I am going to put 3 lines on top of the first ball to help with my lines on shorter putts and think that this will be a perfect putter when I do that. This putter has great feel and great punch to it so you don't have to swing it back to far. I had been trying many different putters from odyssey and never compromise, but always seem to go back to my cheap $20 walmart putter which I putted with way better than these other expensive ones. I finally found this 2-ball putter and have improved my putting. Should improve even more when I add the lines. Overall it is a great putter which just needs one adjustment for me, and I realize each person is different and might not need the lines. My handicap did go down a lot last summer, but I did change irons, drivers, and 3 woods, so it was probably a combo that influenced the lower handicap. I would recommend that people try these putters out on a practice green before buying because they aren't for everybody. Similar Products Used: there is nothing similar to the 2-ball! |

If I am not putting so well with my old putter, then this is definitely the replacement killer. Every time I go into a golf store, I had to putt it a few times. The pendulum effect is automatic because of the malet base and heavy weight. The impact is like butter. Alignment of shot is obvious. It feels like you can't miss with this putter. While it is very expensive, but I'm actually still thinking about it. I actually never liked any Odessey putters until now. I'm a Mizuno fan. Similar Products Used: No other like this one. |

The Odyssey 2 ball is without a doubt the very best putter that I have ever used. I had to "tweak" it a little because it had too much loft and appeared to be hooked. A slight bend in the lower shaft took care of that. Also, the grip was on crooked, so I had to take it off and re-set it. I also made it a little longer which added some effective head weight and gave it better feel and "fluid feel". After all of that, I have been putting considerably better. I find that I make a lot of the ten to fifteen footers that I usually never made in the past. The putter has two plusses to me: One, with the two balls on the head, it allows one to line up one's golf ball in the exact center of the head, and, two, the three balls in a line are about like the old CBS action track in that they allow one to more easily and more accurately align the putter. This putter is a must have! Customer Service Perhaps not customer service, but, with the poor shaft set from the factory that caused the putter to set up left and with the poor grip positioning, Odyssey or Callaway, whomever is making the putter, could have done much more with quality control. |

This putter is the greatest thing that has happened to my game. Since I was having a hard time with standard length putters I decided to switch. I took a time to get use to it but then I started seeing the breaks on the greens better. With this putter I have had more confidence and I have been able to roll in some 30 footers. Also, this putter helps me to get it around the hole easier with those huge across the green putts. Customer Service Great very helpful staff.

I tested the putter for 5 minutes,had the pro order me one.I'm glad I did,its like legal cheating,3 to 6 footers are automatic.I've been struggling with 3 footers when I began seaching for a new putter. My handicap in august was 12 when I got the putter, by Oct. it's 8. I would say it saves 2 shots a side. It keeps a momentum of a round going. It's so much more relaxing when you are not white knuckling every 3 footer.(plus its fun watching the faces of the guys you're wearing down by not missing the short ones.) Before I got the 2-ball I had'nt broken 80, now its about every other time I play. If you need help with 3-6 ft this is putter for you.Note* me and my buddy got them at the same time,I loved mine,his was out of his bag in 2 weeks. My only knock on it is the price, considering they're made in China. Customer Service none Similar Products Used: golfsmith(ping anser copy) |

Bought the 2-ball after demo'ing it at the store. Played a round with it without any practice and thought I made a mistake buying it. It took a few practice sessions and a couple more rounds, but I became used to the weight and now I love the putter. I'm now contemplating buying the 41" Mid (belly) putter. I've been experimenting with them and it really takes the wrists out of the shot. I was sinking 25 footers at Golfsmith with it. Pick the right line and just swing the belly putter like a pendulum. There are knockoffs out there that are pretty nice if you can find them. I saw a nice one at a local sports store that was designed with lines across the two "ball" discs for even better alignment aid. They were about $70 cheaper too. |

White Hot 2 Ball Putter
When i first got this putter, i didn't like the feel of it all that well, but the more i used it, the better it felt. I was putting puts of ten feet or more within 6 inches of the hole, but not holing them, so i put a thin line down the center of the first ball and since then, i'm hitting a good line every time. I've had it for about 3 months now, and i still have a little trouble with distance control, but it's coming along. A very good putter, but it's a little overpriced.

I switched from a Ping B60 (very light weight head) to this putter and dropped several strokes right away. I was having trouble with 8' and shorter puts, lining them up straight. Not any more. Having difficulty learning distance control, but that will come with time. The head weight difference is the problem there. Similar Products Used: Ping B60; Odyssey Rossie II Brass; Ping A-blade |
