Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Feel88
- Sound86
- Looks86
Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You want the classic White Hot strike in an Anser blade and your stroke arcs.
You miss the centre often, or you want the stability the Tri-Hot 5K blades offer.
Pros
- The original White Hot insert, still the softest strike Odyssey sells
- Sound and feel barely change between golf balls, which steadies pace
- Forty-one degrees of toe hang genuinely suits an arcing stroke
- From £199 in steel, well under Odyssey's milled and high-inertia lines
Cons
- No perimeter tech beyond the sole weights, so mishits cost more than on a modern blade
- The Stroke Lab shaft is a £50 upgrade rather than standard
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidA classic blade with only sole weights for help, so a strike out towards the toe still costs you.
Distance
ExcellentThe original urethane insert rolls the ball as reliably as anything Odyssey makes, ball to ball.
Workability
StrongForty-one degrees of toe hang off a plumber's neck, squarely aimed at a stroke that arcs.
Feel
ExcellentThe softest, most settled strike in the Odyssey range, from the insert that made the brand's name.
Sound
ExcellentA low, muted knock that repeats almost identically no matter which ball you play.
Looks at address
ExcellentSilver PVD with fine milling round the insert, a plain Anser shape with nothing to distract.
