Odyssey expands its premium Stroke Lab line

Putters designed to help improve your tempo and consistency—that was the promise of Odyssey Stroke Lab when it was announced earlier this year. The basic premise, according to Sean Toulon, who runs the division for Callaway, was to create putters that helped golfers make a better stroke. The company says, since its introduction, the line has revolutionized the way putters are developed.

New Ten Shape

The Ten model offers balanced weighting and a high level of forgiveness, with a putter head constructed out of multi-materials, offering plenty of MOI and stability. Inspired by their popular #7 and Indianapolis shapes, the Ten offers premium materials and performance in a forgiving mallet.

Bird of Prey Shape

The Bird of Prey offers a unique putter head shape that enhances the forgiveness, and alignment, while offering an insert technology that’s unique to Odyssey. With a striking head shape that helps you easily frame the ball at address, the Bird of Prey offers premium materials and performance in a forgiving mallet.

Key technologies

Multi-material head

This unique element creates a higher level of forgiveness than often witnessed in your standard putters. Multi-materials used in both putters allow for discretionary weight to be moved to the outside of the putter head, which is a mallet shape, creating a high-MOI putter. There’s also a hi-def alignment aid built into the putter to offer the golfer a stronger chance of taking the correct line to the hole.

Microhinge Star Insert

This new insert offers outstanding feel, sound and roll, as well as a firmer feel on most putts. With a muted sound, but the same roll benefits of Odyssey’s White Hot Microhinge Insert, the Star insert is already finding its way onto tours.

Who are they for?

Odyssey is trying something bold and inventive with its putter line—that’s the goal of Stroke Lab. The latest entries grow the line by adding high-MOI mallets, and the company is starting to explore alternatives in clubhead shape. Stroke Lab is for the golfer who has tried traditional putters and came away without improvement. Black Ten and Bird of Prey are aimed at the golfer—and that’s pretty much everyone—who can use more forgiveness in the clubhead, and who are looking for easier ways of putting the ball on target.

  1. Seems over the last year or so that the stroke lab designs tend to mirror Scotty Cameron’s designs. Some older, some more recent.
