Odyssey White Ice Series mallet putters
Last updated:
RRP: £129-£159
STYLES: Eight (Backstryke D.A.R.T. pictured)
TECH TALK This series is three families with intermingled traits, united by the firm, multimaterial insert. The Backstryke’s shaft enters the rear of the head to establish the correct amount of forward press and to make the view of the leading edge unobstructed. D.A.R.T. putters have an alignment system of converging white lines whose intersection would be the centre of the ball. The 2-Ball models are finished in dark nickel and come with an adjustable weight port.
PLAYER COMMENTS
L “There’s nothing I can align better than a 2-Ball on short putts.”
M “The Backstryke is funky, but I was ready to fall in love.” … “Triangle optics work. They focus you on the point of impact.”
HOT A favourite and leader because it’s so comprehensive. The D.A.R.T. is an interesting new alignment tool. And it’s almost impossible to fan a putt with the Backstryke, so steady does it keep your wrists.
NOT If you like sensing the rotation of the face in your stroke, the Backstryke is not for you.
