By dimension
Forgiveness
The most stable Odyssey of 2026 - the most stable putter Odyssey is offering in 2026, staying on plane and square to your path more than any other Odyssey putter, a max-MOI mallet plus zero-torque design. Best-in-class forgiveness - a max-MOI mallet plus zero-torque.
Distance
Excellent, if a touch hot - the Ai-Dual insert and FRD grooves give an easy, consistent roll so the ball reaches the hole easily (perfect on slower greens, though it can be a little fiery on faster greens), with consistent ball speed. Among the better putters for distance control - if it runs hot on quick greens.
Workability
Intentionally non-manipulable - the Max S2S is zero-torque, the shaft entering near the centre of gravity with built-in forward press so the face stays square without manipulation, built for stability rather than shaping. Minimal arc-fit by design - it removes face manipulation rather than rewarding it.
Feel
Crisp and clean - the dual-layer construction delivers a crisp feel at impact, a responsive strike from the Ai-Dual insert. A quality, crisp feel - firmer and livelier than a soft milled face.
Sound
A very sweet note - the dual-layer construction delivers a very sweet sound at impact, a clean, pleasing acoustic. Among the cleaner, sweeter putter sounds.
Looks at address
Maximum alignment - the half-ball alignment makes lining up so much easier, practically impossible not to line up square at address, a clean, large Max shape. A clean, alignment-maximising mallet.
