By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingExceptional - the Jailbird is a high-MOI head and the zero-torque construction means no issues keeping the face square, the most complete and user-friendly zero-torque putter yet. Among the most forgiving putters - a high-MOI zero-torque mallet.
Distance
Class-leadingA standout - the Ai-Dual dual-urethane insert and new F.R.D. grooves, with a 19-degree slope, get the ball rolling end-over-end almost immediately, with effortless pace control. Among the very best putters for distance control.
Workability
ModestZero-torque by design - the S2S Tri-Hot construction advances the zero-torque category by eliminating shaft lean and promoting a square-to-square stroke, built to resist manipulation and hold the face square rather than shape the stroke. Minimal shot-shaping - intentionally non-manipulable by design.
Feel
ExcellentSoft and responsive - the Ai-Dual insert pairs a softer urethane piece on the face with a firmer layer behind it for a soft, controlled strike, a pleasant, dampened feel. Among the better putter feels - a soft dual-urethane strike.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted note - the dual-urethane Ai-Dual insert gives a soft, muted note at impact, a clean, dampened acoustic. A clean, muted putter sound.
Looks at address
Class-leadingClass-leading for the category - the deep, rich red with a thick black topline and subtle white accents make it Odyssey's most visually distinctive putter range for years, one of the best-looking zero-torque collections on the market. Among the best-looking zero-torque putters made.
