By dimension
Forgiveness
Among the most forgiving putters made - the 2-Ball is a high-MOI shape that makes mishits barely noticeable, the putter not shorting even when the hitting point is off, the Ai-One insert normalizing off-centre ball speed. Among the very most forgiving mallets - a high-MOI 2-Ball plus a mishit-normalizing insert.
Distance
Excellent distance control - the putter produces good ball roll even with a small stroke and doesn't short on off-centre hits, with consistent ball speed from the Ai-One insert. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
A moderate-arc mallet - the 2-Ball CH has a crank hosel giving moderate toe hang, suited to strokes with moderate arc and face rotation, a crank-hosel setup. Moderate arc-fit - a 2-Ball mallet with some toe hang, unusual for the shape.
Feel
Soft and responsive - the Ai-One insert co-molds a grooved White Hot urethane layer into the aluminium backer for the classic White Hot feel, a soft, satisfying strike. Strong feel - the iconic White Hot softness.
Sound
A soft, muted note - the White Hot urethane insert gives a soft, muted note at impact, a clean, dampened acoustic. A clean, muted putter sound.
Looks at address
The most iconic alignment in golf - the 2-Ball is the most iconic shape in the Odyssey line and provides incredible ease of alignment, the two-circle aim framing the ball superbly. Among the very best putters for alignment.
