Odysessy EXO Pre-Order

[Warrick]

Rolled the Indy and the 7 at the store. The Indy had way too much loft, it was visibly off, nearly see the whole face. The 7 was spot on to me. Rolled smoothly and was softer than the onworks insert. Very lively face.

 

And I could still pick up the ball with the back of the putter with ease.

 

They have them out at GG in WDSM?

I bit the bullet and picked one of these up. The 7s. Like the look of the slant neck rather than the double bend.

 

Try and practice a bit this weekend then put it into play next weekend in a qualifier. Fingers crossed!

 

Ended up buying it from GG (normally don't like shopping there but had some gift cards) and asked the guy if he could bend it to spec (2 degrees flat).

 

He asked why? I said, that's my spec with a putter. His reply: "if your spec isn't working why don't you try something different"

 

Yeah OK, I won't pay you to bend it. Geez!

[lspky_muskie]

Really liked the 7, but they all seem to have a ton of loft.

[AmpliFIRE]

I rolled the Indy at my local PGATSS. Great looks and feel, but definitely too light IMO.

Having tried them a number of times,,,,,, they DO seem a bit too light, don't they ?

[Dash Boogie]

I just got my 7S lefty 35 in yesterday. I’ve putted on the carpet a bit. I’m not sure if its higher lofted or if its design just makes it want to lean back. I’m glad I didn’t customize at all yet, I’m not sure if it wil kick the SeeMore DB-4x out of the bag. I also need to do a head to head test of it and the Spider Tour at the store.

[bd59]

Any more updates on the Rossie??

[Kmac]

Checked the specs and they have 3° of loft.

 

I played my #7 yesterday and it was fantastic. Rolled it inside on my putting green Friday as my only practice and it was good then too.

 

I found it really really easy to line up. I hit my lines all day sometimes coming a foot or a few rolls short. This I expected with it being my first time out. The feel is perfect. It’s not too soft but also not clicky. Really true roll out of that insert and by the last few holes it was point and shoot. Rolled in a long putt on 18 to win a skin with a par. Honeymoon is always fun!

[gpleonard]

Ordered a 7s with the SuperStroke mid slim 2.0 grip. Should be here in a couple days. I just really like the head shape of the 7s. I have two other number 7 putters. Guess I fit the range of putter ho.

[Konklifer]

Would like this insert in a #6.

[Bluemile]

I just can’t get a good feeling on my 7exo. My versa felt better. I’m three rounds in and playing Friday through Sunday.

too quick or maybe the lie?

Head is quite a bit bigger than the regular #7 but it actually feels lighter. Looks like it should be heavier but doesn't feel it. Maybe that's throwing you off ?

[Bluemile]

I don’t know but i can not get comfortable at all with it. Granted i have the touch of a rapist, but still Can’t feel it. I’m gonna give it a hard test, but hard for me to take the old versa out of the bag.

Hello all, just curious if anyone has had the chance to roll the EXO line yet.

 

I pre-ordered the Indy S, without ever having rolled it, love the head shape and the fact it's a slant neck. Will be interesting to see how the insert feels and performs. I currently have a jailbird mini s and 7s and really like them, but of course being the putter ho that I am, tinker time, all the time.

 

Anyone else pre-order?

Tried all three of the new EXO's and went with the Rossie. I have had it for a couple of weeks now and I love the MOI and roll off the new face. I was gaming the O-works 7 fang tank before, but this new Rossie is out performing it big time. I'm glad I made the change.

[Dash Boogie]

Actually used mine on the course over the weekend. The MOI on this is excellent, but it was hard to judge insert feel due to wet greens from the constant downpours here in Georgia. I haven't customized it yet, but I have a Flatso 2.0 XL on the way. My plan is to leave it at 35" and choke down a bit using the XL grip because I like to put with my dominant hand's index finger extended outwards like its pointing at the putter head. For reference, I am 5'11" and my other putters are 34.5" and 34" inches.

 

Overall, it is a great putter! Still interested in the new spider mini though (mainly for the adjustable weight in the back), but I will need to see it in a left handed model without a double bend.

I played my Rossie S in a tournament this weekend and it performed very well for me. My previous deficiency with putting was not making a good stroke on long putts as I felt the need to help the ball rolling, which caused me to get a little flippy with my stroke. The Rossie S seemed to help me cure this problem as the slant neck allow me to put an open-and-shut stroke on the longer putts while still performing well with a straight back and thru stoke on the shorter putts. Whether it is the micro-hinge face or the high MOI, the ball comes off the face nicely, but the muted sound takes a little adjustment time to get used to.

 

Several other players at the tournament tried it out on the putting green and I did have two offers to buy it at full price if I determined I didn’t like it, but they are going to need to order their own!

 

With regards to the comments about the putter seeming to be too light, I will say that the heavier 140CC Tour SNSR grip feels really good with this putter. I can’t compare the stock grip since I ordered mine with the heavier grip, but it is worth a try for anyone that believes it is just a little light.

[Tampajoe3]

I think my EXO 7 feels heavier than my O-works 7 with a midsize Iomic as well as my versa 7 with a std iomic.

[Kimo62]

Finally got my EXO 7. What a beautiful putter. It looks so much better in person.

If it rolls as good as it looks, I may have a few birdies in my future.

 

If they ever come out with an EXO 1w double bend... it will join the family. ?

[thevaporz]

Which one has the most toe hang?

[mmowen01]

Which one has the most toe hang?

The Indy and Rossie S both have the most 28* toe hang.

Seven S - 24*

Indy S - 28*

Rossie S - 28*

[AzSuperHack76]

I was finally able to get the Indy S SXO out for a couple of rounds.

 

Feel and sound is awesome. Firm but not firm. Muted thwack for the sound.

 

VERY stable through the ball, it really is smooth. The face puts a great roll on the ball. Distance control was really exceptional, especially for being the first time out with it. No 3 putts, but I had 4 lip outs on sharp edged holes.

 

Looking forward to getting more rounds in with it.

[dblinden]

FYI - Ordered a Rossie-S this week. Asked for 33.5" shaft length and the person assisting me said no problem. I didn't know how accommodating Odyssey would be as half-inch sizes are not listed as a regular option. Pleasant ordering experience and a short wait time to receive the club.

[boycer]

Anymore reviews on these?

[BlackM00Nlight]

I’ve picked up several putters in all neck styles. The loft is different on every one. Lol

 

I can see the face on some, mainly slant necks. And not see the face on others.

 

Feels awesome off the face though!

[nsxguy]

Anymore reviews on these?

 

Got my Indianapolis face-balanced (strangely enough with the AVS grip, not the SS) this morning and was stuck home most of the day waiting for the cable guy.

 

Took it out for a half hour or so on a local course putting green and rolled it really well. Face feels very soft but distance control was still pretty good. A few putts from shorter distances came off too soft, or at least softer than I expected. Missed the SS ?

 

Balance is great and the loud plastic-ky sound from the old Toulon version is gone. Probably practice more with it tomorrow and play with it Monday.

[boycer]

Are these things a flop. Or is it the fact you are more likely to hear complaints.

 

Where are the positive reviews? Exo rossie or #7?

I certainly wouldn't call them a flop but the PGA Tour players certainly haven't been busting down the doors to put them in play on tour, this includes Callaway's shills or should I say staff players. The only player I'm aware of using this putter is Sergio Garcia and it certainly didn't help him at the US Open. I'm certainly not aware of any non Callaway/Odyssey staffer using this putter.

 

My own experience with the EXO Seven is...

1. Love the looks
   
2. Easy to aim
   
3. Insert feels great
   
4. Good lag for short and medium length putts
   
5. Poor lag on long putts
   
6. The putter head doesn't sit square on the ground and rocks
   
7. Club head feels too heavy and I don't mine/own several heavy putters
   

I really do not like the fact that the putter doesn't sit flat (it rocks) or square at address. I'm sure that it is fine but it gives me the feeling that it wasn't manufactured correctly - not a good feeling for a premium putter. My guess is that it is more than 5* open when resting on the ground. The problem is that my typical miss is to the right so this really does bothers me. It is also the only putter that I own that does this, and the more I use it, the more that it it bothers me. This is not good. Why did they do this ???

 

To help with the heavy club head weigh I replaced swapped out the original grip with one of my favorite counter balanced grips. Now it feels like it swings more freely, but will it help with long lag putts? The answer to that question will have to wait until it's back on course for a few more rounds to see if it has helped or not.

 

Presently my EXO in the penalty box and it's lost it's place in rotation and it will have to earn it's way back in the bag.

 

During the introduction of the EXO putters Sean Toulon (president of Odyssey Golf) was asked if other putters would be added to the EXO premium putter lineup. His response was that it would depend on the success of the initial putters which is a logical response. I know it is too early to predict the success of the line, but if Callaway/Odyssey are honest about it, they probably are disappointed with the initial acceptance rate.

Where are the positive reviews? Exo rossie or #7?

 

I disagree with a lot of the negative comments/reviews thus far. I have 9 rounds with mine thus far and can do nothing but rave about my 7S.

 

Prior to this season i have used mallets to a very limited degree, having a slightly arcing stroke, most mallets have not suited my stroke (due to typically being FB'd) however after taking a deep dive in to my game to try and get past a scoring plateau, my putting was an area that garnered some attention. So i bit the bullet and began looking in to some higher MOI/more forgiving mallets. The newer shapes in the O-Works family (JB Mini and Marxman slants) had caught my eye as did the Ardmore 3 Copper. But ultimately it was a putter that i had initial deemed as super fugly that earned a spot in my bag - the Spider Arc in Silver.Feel off the face was just right, firm but not clicky, yet soft without being spongy (my only knock to the original O-Works inserts: zero feedback). Weight was great - on the slightly heavier side, and it was very very stable; and although still a face balanced putter a slight adjustment had me in auto pilot on the greens. Long lags improved, inside 5 feet was bang on; and my make % in the 10-15 ft range was dramatically better.

 

I truly thought I had found a long term putter that would be tough to kick out of the bag.

 

BUT, once I saw the images of the EXO's and learned the face would be firmer than O-Works with the same roll improvements, I knew i would be picking it up regardless, if i dint like it i knew i could find a buddy or two who might be interested.

 

I couldn't wait to get it out for my first round... and by god I was not disappointed.

 

Everything, and I mean EVERY_THING, I found that had improved with the Spider Arc was even further enhanced by the EXO.

 

In 162 holes played with it, I can count on 1 hand the number of putts that didn't finish where i wanted or in the hole - and they were mostly misreads than poor rolls.

 

I also think that 2Bad4U must have just gotten a lemon or his spec is off, as there is no sign that my 7S wants to do anything other than setup square. I would have to manipulate my hands/setup substantially to get it to "rock" or flare open at address.

 

Yes this putter is pricey, but not outside the realm of competitors in this space (a la Spider Tour, etc)

 

If you re in the hunt for a new putter, and this pricepoint is not outside your window, I recommend 15/10 times.
