Odyssey Protype ix series

[Whit1969]

Anyone else gaming one of these putters?  From what limited information I found on them is that they were a Japanese release and then offered to the US, I believe back in 2013. They were only offered in four models and only 500 of each were offered for sale in the US.

 

I’ve had mine in the bag for 3 years now and I haven’t found a better putter that can replace it.  Often thought of having a copper insert put in it but not sure I want to risk messing it up.  I have no idea what white hot insert is in this model but I have rolled any other Odyssey’s that feel the same.

One of the best putters odyssey has made along with trihot. Nice sled brother

I wouldn’t ever mess with that putter, you can easily find an insert model to drop a copper insert into but finding another one of those in that kinda shape would be tough. Very clean looking putter

What @SUITS said - i wouldn't touch that thing. If you want to experiment, i've got a couple putters i could send your way for that one!

Nope, this one is never leaving home!

I wonder how this thing compares to an OG... anyone compare the two? Seems like they would be similar

I agree with SUITS, don't mess it up. I believe the insert is the White Ice.

I love my Ti Hot milled titanium with tungsten weighting, another Limited Release of 1,250.

The White Ice series of putters were released in 2009 and a newer version in 2010.  The original WHP was released in 2013 and so was the Protype ix in 3 models and only 500 of each model. This is the description provided by Odyssey on the face insert if the Protype ix…

 

This is the review by plugged in golf…

 

This leads me to believe is not a White Ice insert.  But again Odyssey does not go into detail about the insert or if it is the same insert for one of their other putters.
