Odyssey White Hot Tour Rossie Opinions

bulletbob · February 23, 2009

Anyone switch to this as their gamer?

I've been gaming the Barbados for a couple of seasons now. I love Rife putters and the roll they put on the ball. With cold, lousy weather here over the weekend, I went to Dick's to look around and decided to try out some putters. I was curious about the Ping Craz-E iwi, the Karsten model, and a variety of TM putters. None of them gave me a 2nd thought about replacing the Rife. And then it happened. I rolled a few with the WH Tour and was amazed by the feel. It was night and day compared to the Rife. The weighting felt perfect to me and really seemed to fit my stroke well. I found a new one on the Bay and won the auction for a great price. Has anyone else made the switch to this putter? I'd like to hear some opinions as I haven't found too many reviews here or elsewhere. Thanks.

I went from a old ping putter to the white hot tour rossie. Overall its a great putter and I personally love the feel its got a nice soft feel to it and great weight. but in the end I went to a cameron for the better feel. In the end though I kind of go between them (until I get another milled putter hehe). I would recommend it though. My biggest complaint was that when you mishit its distance is inconsistent than when you hit it square

I had the white hot tour #2 same issue mishit distance was bad and had a clunky feel but when you hit it solid rolls the ball pure

Had the Tour #5. Very similar. Love the balance and weight. Put a really nice roll on it. I actually found it quite forgiving. It would be in the bag this except I changed from straight back ans straight through to and arc stroke. All in all I think the Tour line is very good, especially for the money.

I just today swapped out a cameron x5, bettinardi bc5 and a rife hybrid mallet for the Odyssey White Hot Tour #2 putter. I did but the Rife Barbados as backup. Hitting the WH #2 I simply could not miss and loved the feel. As far as a backup I don't think you can beat the Rife Barbados.

I think putting is so much comfidence driven that Cameron and others took advantage of this. I applaud Odyssey for maintaining reasonable rates for superior equipment.

Not to threadjack, but my wife has decided she likes the Rossie/#5 style putter (she tried the tour #5 yesterday at GolfTown) so I am now searching for one. Is there any other similar style putters from other companies that I should be considering (in the same price range)?

On a side note I picked up a new Tour #1 for a great price (private sale) and look forward to trying it out when the snow melts.

I'd like one of these, but they are right hand only.

I just bought one today at GG, I traded a Scotty Red X (terrible trade in value), tried a Ping Redwood, Black Series and love the feel of the Rossie...I will start season in bag replacing the SC Studio Style. It rained hard here today. a;lmost ran out to 15 th green at my home course (i live on course) as was going to give it a few rolls..Rolls amazingly on the Berber, Love alignment lines and look at address, great price..
