Odyssey O-Works 7

[krantzda]

Hello All,

 

So I went the other day and messed around with the O-Works Red 7, really liking the putter but not super hot on the red color. I wish they made the all black model in the plain 7 but o well.

 

So I wanted to know what the difference is between the regular O-Works 7, the WBW 7 and the red 7, besides the color obviously and the different grip on the Red 7. The guy on the phone at Odyssey said the insert on the Red 7 is a new and different insert than the other 2. Can anyone confirm this?

 

thanks,

Dan

there's a black 7s, but if you don't get along with that slight slant neck then maybe get the red 7 refinished, if that's the insert you like.

[krantzda]

Just not into the s model, didn't get along with the Spider. But from what the customer service guy said at Odyssey the new black and red O- Works models have a different microhinge insert, I think he may be wrong.

[ruffellprefley]

yeah, i don't see a difference. if you can stomach the black and white then get the regular 7. i personally hate the two tone

I could be crazy but went I tried the black and red 7s, I swear the red felt better to me. A little softer than the black. This is the first I've heard anyone mention it but just my personal experience.

[krantzda]

That's what the dude told me I thought he was nuts. I am glad to hear someone else say that. I'm going to call again tomorrow and hopefully I get someone different and see if they say the same thing.

[ruffellprefley]

wait, you're saying the NEW black 7s and the red 7 and 7s have different inserts from each other? or they have different inserts from the previously released o-works 7 that is black and white??

[Warrick]

I don't think any of the o-works putters have different inserts, only 1 microhinge currently.

 

What I have noticed is that the insert feels and sounds different in different heads.

 

My custom v-line tank does not feel as soft, or sound the same as the #1 Tank I just sold. I am glad.

Man....i just picked up the black 7S.....and its makes a "ping" sound. Ugh!!! Didn't hear it in the store...background noise from the hitting bays I guess. But really noticeable at the practice putting green on my course. Anyone else experiencing this?

[mackepa]

there is no difference in the inserts except where the odyssey swirl logo is. the red putters have a different color pattern on the logo

this must be something club dependent. i have my black 7s that doesn't do it. i have tried a red 7 and a black 3T in a quiet store and did not hear any ping. either it's not happening or i don't notice it. some say they hear it some don't.

[ZBUCK]

From all the pictures, it looks like the red 7s has an extra piece to it in the middle, wonder if that does something acoustically to change the feel?

[ruffellprefley]

you're referring to the little black "score" line that runs front to back on both sides? i do see that as being the only difference. whether that creates a feel difference or if it was just done just for aesthetics, who knows.

 

people have reported a "ping" sound with both black and red 7s though.

[18thbunker]

I had a few wedges to trade in, so I went to look for a 2nd putter. I kinda like the #1 Tank....but can not quite get used to the black/red/white color plus the red Super Soft Grip. I wished there were other color options....

 

So returned the putter and went with a more quiet/subdued design.... Ping G 'The Doon' sledgehammer putter !!

[krantzda]

From what Tad said from Odyssey on the phone is that the new 7s black and red have a different microhinge insert from the other O-Works microhinge inserts, he couldn't tell me what the difference is he just said go putt with them in a store.

 

I find it hard to believe but I am certainly not an expert, just relaying what I heard.

What ball are you using? There is absolutely no ping, and very little audible sound with my ChromeSofts, ProVs, and z Stars

I'll add no ping with chrome soft, q star tour, or nike rzn tour black with two different black 7s putters

I can add to this conversation. I have bought and tried all 3 versions of the O works # 7. The original white/red that I had refinished by Continental golf to satin silver, then the WBW one and most recently the black 7s with slant neck 2 degrees flat. Rolling only on carpet thus far, the micro hinge inserts feel the same to me. I am loving the 2 degrees flat on the slant neck though, it sets up so square and right to my left eye dominant putting stance.

Not sure what I am going do w/ my other two O-works 7... oh wait BST lol

I use the Chrome Soft as well. Same results with the Vice Pro Soft. I'm going back to GG today to see if they have a different one that quieter. I had a two-ball Backstryke that did the same thing...but I was able to shove a foam golf ball in the cavity. I don't see any easy solution for the O Works....and the cotton ball suggestion didn't work either.

I know there are two size #7 heads, one larger, one smaller. Does anyone know which the the O-works heads are size-wise? I thought the dots were small and the line large but in the photo in this thread they look the same to me.

 

Thanks.

 

Play well.

[evoviiiyou]

wait, you're saying the NEW black 7s and the red 7 and 7s have different inserts from each other? or they have different inserts from the previously released o-works 7 that is black and white??

 

I think your friend confused the 7 with the TM Spider Tour offerings out currently...

7s are both the smaller heads

[magnus7319]

O-works 7 and both O-works 7s (black and red) are the small heads. O-works 7 tank is the bigger head.

I also have a Black 7S and there is absolutely 100% No ting, or ping when I hit putts. I did add xtra weight to the hollow weights, but it didn't ping before adding the weight either. I really love the sound and feel of my black 7s.

[Reidman]

Went back to 3 other golf stores...and all those black 7s have the ting sound....so it's not just mine. Hmmmm.

[ruffellprefley]

maybe your ears are more sensitive to the particular sound or maybe we hear the same sound but it doesn't register to our consciousness that it's a ting. i'm glad i don't hear it or it doesn't happen with mine

[greedtx]

I had the o works 1 but could not line it up so I bought a 7s because of the neck and it seems flatter which suits my stroke better. What do the number of lines mean? I can't find an answer anywhere.

I realize that this question is subjective but did you happen to notice any difference or preference with the 3 dots on the topline vs. the solid line of the black 7s? I'm not a huge fan of the red but I like the 3 dots from the pics, but prefer the black head. Just curious your thoughts.
