Odyssey Odyssey White Hot XG

We placed milled steel inside our world-famous urethane insert to create Dual Insert Technology. The new White Hot XG gives you the precision and accuracy of milled steel and the feel and distance control of urethane.

What makes this line of Odyssey Putters so deadly on the green is its overwhelming forgiveness and softness. You’ll feel it the instant you wrap your hands around one. You’ll see it the instant you putt.

* Dual Insert Technology with milled stainless steel inside a White Hot urethane insert.

* Lightweight insert positions putter weight deep in the putter head for greater resistance to twisting and increased stability while giving you incredibly soft feel.

* Stainless steel face insert is machine milled for a consistent, flat surface with improved roll and pleasing sound.

* One-line alignment system squares the putter face to help focus sight.

* New anatomic grip design for a secure, soft feel that gives you control without “overgripping.”

I'm not a huge fan of inserts, but the latest XG line by Odyssey may be one of the best feeling putters that I have ever used. Incredibly soft feel, yet still very firm. Not overly excited about the designs...that is until the PM-18 hits the shelves in August.

5 Stars.

i bought this as soon as i found it in my local golf shop. This thing is a great putter. It has an interesting shape #7 which is what i have. As soon as i tried it i wanted it. making much more putts this year because of this. a good buy definatly

Very awesome putter!!!! I finally found my missing tooth!!!

I picked up the 2 ball XG yesterday at Edwin Watts. I walked in asked if they had any 36" putters and expected the same reaction I usually get when I ask if a retailer has any 15w golf shoes...which is typically a hardy laugh from the sales associate followed quickly by standard dejected response of well it was worth a try. Well for once my giant needs were actually met (I am 6'8") they had about 6 Odyssey putters at 36" inches...tried the 2Ball in both white steel and the XG and man the XG was sweet. I bought the XG in a second, nice soft feel with a distinctive click at impact. I drove right to local my practice range and putted for close to two hours...it was nice to have a putter that actually fit and felt great to boot. And seeing it was tax free weekend here in Massachusetts, I saved a few bucks as well.

So long story short, two thumbs up in my opinion.

I was in the market for a new putter. I demo'ed the typical cast of charicters and the Odyssey White Hot XG was one of them.

They have all of your favorite putter shapes and sizes so to find one that suites your eye isn't too difficult. The White Hot XG Insert was also very nice, but when hit back to back with last years White Hot insert the XG felt a little mushy. After 30 mins of putting between a White Hot #1 and a White Hot XG #1, I ended up walking out with the last years White Hot as I thought it felt a bit firmer.

Who knows, maybe it was my imagination but this seems to be a step backwards for the White Hot Line. Still a very nice putter, but last years was a bit better (and now cheaper)

Thanks,

Decent line of putters. But i agree its maybe a tad soft. I was loving it on fast greens but when i played with it on some slower public type greens I found to be a little soft and switched .

Picked a White Hot XG #7 34" to replace my Ping G5i B60. I played a game on last Saturday and very satisfied with its performance. Very sweet soft feel and nice sound at impact. IMO, it's a money well spent.

I recently got the XG #9 great feel off the putter face a fantastic putter.

love the #7... just played it a couple rounds so far... and I gotta say putts are sinking more and more. It has the best feel for me so I cannot complain, and it looks great to boot.

I have the XG9, the model that was designed for Mickelson. I love the soft feel. This heel shafted model is suited to my stroke, which is more inside the line-to square-to inside the line. Since the heel shafted model is balanced like a wood or an iron I feel like I can release the putter during the stroke and I am lagging better that ever. I have never been good at square to square especially on long putts.

The feel from the face insert is different than any other putters I have used, as is the sound. It is very soft (but not mushy), but there is a little pop to it that is easy to get used to IMO. :drinks:

Definitely a 5.

Picked up the #7 a few weeks back. I've only played 1 round, but have made several trips to the putting green. I've actually been playing with insert putters for several years now (just realizing this actually), and this is by far the best feeling insert I've had. The distance control, for me at least, is greatly improved over the orginal white hot insert, and it really shines on the 5 footers (of which I leave myself way too many still).

Love the xg insert when i tried it but the 2 ball xg is only just out here in UK that feels great but not enough to make me swap my old original 2 ball. However i am really interested to know if the 2 ball srt with xg face is out in USA and if it is due to cross the water soon as that looks terrific. Trevor immelman has had one for ages the swine! Balance on srt is awesome but steel insert too hard for me but with xg face mmmmmmm want one now!

In love with my #7 for the time being. I have only been on the course with it once though, so it is tough to tell.

Tried the Mickelson (#9) yesterday and I love it. Verrrry soft. I also tried the XG #7. WOW!!! I would seriously consider dropping the Laguna for a #7. I can't say enough. If more people would swallow their pride for 2 seconds and give it a ty they'd be hooked. I know see why Odyssey is the #1 putter in golf.

I tried my friends the other day and really like it. I want a 2ball blade with/XG insert.

Couldnt have said it better.

Made some of my longest putts ever with this putter.

Very easy to get the ball on line. ;)

picked up a no.7 durin d summr and my putting has never been d same ....it has taken shots off my short game since d day i got it ... i had a tri-ball b4 gettin itt and i was v dissapointed with how i putted with it... its good 4 a wile but the gimmick wares off shorty after gettin it and wat i got bak on a trade was half of what i paid 4 it after only a few months

For me, the faster the green, the better the putter.

With a HW of 335g regardless of shaft length and an OAW of 509g at 35 inches I found it too light for the muni greens I usually play, stimped at 7 or 8. Longer putts mean I have to use an uncomfortably long backswing and the increased force makes the insert feel mushy.

That said, I think #7 is amazing on faster greens. I really dislike inserts but this one increases my feel and the stability of the fang design is outstanding. Add a second, heavier Tour model and a golfer might be set for life.

I picked up a #9 and I'M in LOVE!!!!

Feels great and has sent my scotty to the reserve bench..

Great feel, great looks, great price !!!

I bought the #7, tried it out at Dick's and loved it. I played the last two rounds with it and had 31 putts and 29 putts - both times I had 7 one putts. Improvement over my scotty, so I may have to put Mr Cameron back in the closet.

I just went to the golf store today and i was only there looking for a Ohio State head cover and strolled over to look at putters and hit a couple putts W/ 3 or 4 other putters and THen i saw the #7 sitting there a 33" and i decided to hit it, and droped my first 2 putts with it from 10 feet and the other guy there looking at putters said "thats the one" and i said "thats what i was thinking" and now i have a new putter cant wait to get it on the course.

also just got the #9 and the scotty has taken a back seat.

Hey,

I recently bought a XG #8 Center shafted putter which I loved.

I used this for fast green :-)

A great putter to the Tee :-)

I replaced my Cameron putter with an Odyssey White Hot XG 2-ball Blade. The Odyssey was just a better feeling putter, and helps with controlling speed and distance. The 2-Ball helps with alignment too.

Just for my clarification, the topic title says "White Hot XG" yet the product description given is for the White Steel model with the steel insert. Just want to make sure I'm responding to the correct thread.

I went to a local Nevada Bob's a couple of days ago and traded my Nike OZ T100 toward a used White Hot XG #1 and so far I'm impressed. Was using a Dunlop blade purchased at the PX 10 years ago! It's taking time to get used to the softer feel, but putts seem to be more online and distance control seems improved as well, although not perfect *yet*.

Just picked up a White Hot XG #9. Played one round with it and was very, very pleased. Great looking putter with wonderful feel.

It is going to be my gamer until it pi**es me off LOL!!

Bought a XG 9 and I miss my Scotty newport beach , Im trying to hang in there and give this putter time but it's not automatic. The insert feels nice but no clue to as how hard im hitting it.

Swallowed my pride Friday and bought a Marxman Mallet. So far so good. Very soft, which I love, it's kind of hard to gauge long distance putts. Money within 6 ft. Very easy to line up putts. Once I get used to it, this putter could be a dangerous weapon.

This has to b the best putter ive had ever tried out. It was very smooth and felt good on contact. I personaly liked the look of it myself. Im definitly buying this club when i find it in stores.
