Odysee 2-ball putter
The putter is absolutely greay. I recently used and odysee #5 but the 2-ball is much better. I used it on the course and i holed many putts and my long cistance putting has improved so much i couldn't believe it, it was well worth the money and it is the best club i bought. The allignment is great it makes it much easier to read the line and the roll on it is great i always get the right distance whereas before i had trouble doing that. |

"2-ball"
I think, that it´s easy to use in allmost any conditions. When I first saw players using on TV theese odd looking "2-balls" I wondered was it just a comercial trick or was there something special in this alingnment tool. It first seemed like a trick, because it was allmost only new model from Odyssy for this year and it was like a cash - magnet,because it was easy to recognize on TV in hands of Pro-players. well, I got my douts untill I went to the shop and tryed it. There was something so easy in all kinds of putts and because it´s so heavy, it was easy to control distances. The usual price you have to payin Europe is from 200 € to 250 €.( allmost same in Dollars )So it´s really expensive !!! Luckily I got it second hand for 50 € !!! Customer Service Haven´t used yet.. |

White Hot 2 Ball
I've been using the Rosie II for three years now and was looking for an update. After I saw the 2 ball I had to have it. When I first started using the two ball I thought the alignment was owesome, however, the more I used it the worse I got. Since the Rosie II has lines down the middle, I decided that even though the two ball has the balls for alignment it doesn't really get you down precise area of where your putting. So what I did was put thin line of lead tape right down the middle of my putter. The lead tape is silver, so it looks great. After I did this my putting improved a ton. The line really help me line up better to a specific point on the green instead of a specific area. Also the 2 ball putter is too light for long putts. I added a little lead weight, and this has helped a lot on longer putts. I would be willing to bet that Odyssey will change the putter and they will put lines on the puttter and add weight to it for next years model. We shall see. Great putter!

This putter is beyond words; I just can’t say enough good things about it. I was looking to buy one when my little brother bought me one for a wedding gift and it is awesome. I took it out the first time a week ago and hit only 4 putts on the practice green before teeing off. From the first green on I knew this was the putter I have been looking for. I keep track of my putts every time I play and with this club I dropped every put I looked at. For my round I had 29 putts. This was an all time low for me and have been keeping my putts at or below 34 since. I really believe we all have a putter that just fits and now I have mine. I’m not saying this club is a fix all but I feel it can help all who try it because it instills confidence in any skill level of golfer. Customer Service Haven't used Similar Products Used: None |

oddessy two ball putter
Well, with all the precieved sucess of players using this putter, i.e. Fred Funk. I figured it might be what I needed to lower my h.c. Unfortunately I think alot of other people thought the same thing because this putter was sold out all over town. I finally found one at the cluhouse before my round. Plus it was 20.00 cheaper then anywhere else so I jumped on it. as we pulled up to the first tee I told my partner I was a little nervous about playing this club with no practice. so here goes the reveiw part. The putter felt great in my hands. Looking over the putter down at the ball did in fact instill a confidence that was stronger then normal. The two ball alignment aid was exactley that. For the long putts if you use a line on your ball as I do, the alignment aid really lets you square the putter to your intended line. On the short putts the alignment aid really lets you get a great feel. So how did I putt? Well I had no 3 putts. I didnt really make anything of length. But I didnt miss anything with in 3ft. So on the longer putts I felt I may have gotten a little closer with my old putter but I believe that is just because of feel. it also worked well from the frindge. Overall I was very happy and look fwd playing this putter again. I dont believe there are any so called magic clubs out there and same goes for this putter. You still have to read the green and you still have to hit it with the right speed or a putt will not fall however I do believe that some clubs instill cofidence. and this club does exactly that. oh yeah and as far as price, sure it may seem higher then average but when you reach a point in your game when you realize where you really score then you may also realize that it is more rediculous to spend 4 to 5 hundred on a driver then it is to spend 150 on a putter.

Zero tolerance Crown Jewel Maxima 400cc
I ran into a friend who praised his new clubs, a 10* CJ 400 cc driver and matching 3-wood with Apache “Orange Crush” shafts (65N, x-stiff). With a few shots I could tell that these were hot clubs, easy to control, and quickly obtained and built the following clubs; all had 1* closed face angles and were built to lengths that swingweighted to D-2: 1. Crown Jewel (CJ) Maxima, 400 cc, 8*, Apache Orange Crush 65P x-stiff, 45”. 2. Crown Jewel (CJ) Maxima, 360 cc, 8*, Apache Orange Crush 65N stiff, 45.25”. 3. Crown Jewel (CJ) Maxima, 330 cc, 8*, Aldila Longwood Tour, stiff, 45.5”. Three other near scratch golfers and I tested these drivers extensively on the range and on the course. The salient points from this test for golfers were: 1. The classic profile and deep blue head color melded well with the orange or purple shafts and were quite appealing. With the Orange Crush shaft, the CJs were startling, eye-catching. Looks were on par with any other OEM. The blue/black head cover complemented my Sun Mountain 2 bag. 2. In order of increasing distance were the 360 cc, 400 cc, and 330 cc CJs. An Integra 7* "Long Drive" was equivalent to the CJ 330 cc in distance, but was less accurate. The 400 cc driver is probably equal to the 330 cc is distance, but the club in our test fitted with the x-stiff shaft was somewhat held back. The CJ 400 cc driver was the best overall for controlled distance. The x-stiff 65P Orange Crush shaft was a perfect match for this club. Larger heads require stiffer, higher bend point shafts with strong tips and lower torque like the Apache 65P. 3. With larger head sizes, even good players stand to gain considerable accuracy, and through a larger sweet spot, increased average distance. The drivers of 2001 and earlier are already showing signs of obsolescence. The CJ Maximas perform on par with any currently conforming OEM driver, and cost less.

White Hot 2 Ball - 43 inches
I decided to mess around with a 43 inch putter, I normally use a 33 inch putter. I place the end in my sternum and I put with a crosshand grip. I am draining long putts like crazy! I now how three contact points: sternum, left hand and right hand. This is a great putter. However, it's overpriced. I traded away three cleveland wedges and a carbite and payed 50 bucks for this thing. Customer Service Great Similar Products Used: Carbite brass ball, white hot#2, Nicklaus putters |

Odessey Two-Ball Putter
Traded 2 woods and a driver I was experimenting with for this putter and different driver, so I didn't pay list. I thought it was a pretty good deal overall. Anyways, at first I had problems getting used to the speed of this putter, especially on slow greens. I'd roll alot of putts short. I got a lesson from a friend of mine and made some adjustments to get into more of a pure pendulum motion. With the heavy mallet feel of this putter, it really helped. Now, the putter is almost too easy to line up on short putts. I've spend alot of time on the putting green and am slowly getting a feel for the speed of this putter on long putts. As long as I keep my hands quiet and just stroke with my shoulders, I can roll it close. This putter inspires a feeling of a rock-solid stroke. Only downside is that it is a little pricy, but then again the Never Compromise and Scotty Cameron I was looking at were pretty pricy themselves. That, and I can't pick balls up like I used to be able to with my Ping Anser. Customer Service None needed so far.

Odyessy White Hot 2 Ball
Although I had been putting well with a Ping Isopur, I wanted to go back to a face balanced putter and was impressed with all the LPGA and PGA players that play this now. With the exception of a 35' eagle putt, I didn't make anything the first day i used it. It sets up like its closed (at least in comparison to the Ping) and I didn't trust the line. After three rounds, I'm putting very well and misses are mainly misreads, especially from close range (< 5'). It's must softer than the Ping and my long lag putts are short, but that's a player adjustment more than anything. The feel is super and I've got more confidence in breaking putts. Only complaint - too expensive! Customer Service N/a Similar Products Used: Ping Anser 2i, Zebra |

I must say, you feel as though you are cheating when you play with this club! Once you get past the size of the thing, it will instill a lot of confidence as you are standing over the ball. It’s basic design is based off of an old Dave Peltz 3 ball putter (which I believe was determined illegal by the USGA). In any event, I have found this club to be very helpful in aligning my putter with the target line, thus helping me sink putts. …and as we all know sinking putts is the name of the game! :-) Customer Service ???
