Does anyone know what grip model this is based on?  Looking to re-grip another non-Odyssey putter and would like to use something similar.  I'm guessing it's a Winn model, but not sure if it's the Tour Pistol Excel, VSN Midsize Pistol, VSN Medalist Pistol, Dri-Tac Medalist or Dri-Tac Midsize.

 

I've searched and used similar Winn grips as well.  To me, the midsize Excel and Dri-Tac are the closest.  Texture maybe Excel, but firmness closer to Dri-Tac.

 

The real ones are $30 through Callaway/Odyssey:  https://odyssey.callawaygolf.com/odyssey-accessories/putter-grips/spr5587836.html

 

EDIT: Here are a few pics comparing the Tri-Hot grip on my 5K One to the Winn Dri-Tac midsize on my Sub 70 Sycamore 001.

Bummer!  Not sure about just the shaft, but maybe buy the "average" condition White Hot OG 1 or something ($117 after 25% off at the moment at CPO).  Pull the shaft and use with your Tri-Hot head (and grip too if you save and pull it).  https://www.callawaygolfpreowned.com/putters/putters-2021-wh-og-1-ch-stroke-lab.html

 

Heck, maybe you can get a few bucks for the White Hot head too.

Appreciate the suggestion!  Was one that I was considering but ended up contacting Callaway and they're sending me a replacement putter at no charge which I wasn't expecting.  Very impressed with their customer service so far.

Anybody know the weight of the standard pistol grip? Wanting to replace with a Super Stroke pistol but want to get the wright close so the balance isn't off. Thanks

Yes.  I have pulled a few in the past couple months with a little solvent and grip remover tool.  After letting then dry out, they were all between 74.5 and 75.6g.

NICE! Thanks so much for the info. 

 

That being said how will adding a 58g SS Zenergy 1.0PT grip in place of this? I know it will obviously be 17g lighter but should I do something to compensate or will that not be a huge factor? 

 

I may go with a 65g (SS Pistol Tour), but not sure till they both arrive to see which feels better for my grip.

Both of those will make the head feel slightly heavier, which you may or may not like. There's no way to add more counterweights since the stock counterweight is stuck in there. And I think a unique size for the shaft. 

 

But you could always try adding lead tape underneath the grip tape, I've done that before to get the weight exactly right. Lead tape + grip = 75 grams

Just picked up a Tri Hot 7. With it being a bigger head do the standard Odyssey mallet cover fit, or do I need to get the square spider style covers? As the standard cover is awful.

Comparing the Tri-Hot 5K One vs Two, is there really much spec or performance difference?  Or is it just the styling (the One being more traditional Anser with the rounded back flange and the Two with a bit more square back flange like a Scotty Newport 2)?

It's just style and personal preference, like with anser vs anser2 or newport vs newport2

Went to GG the other week after reading much about a new putter. Went straight to the Odyssey putters and picked up a Tri Hot 5K Double Wide as it was not wrapped in plastic. Rolled 6 balls, about 12-15’ and holed every one of them. Put that one back and picked up a Versa Double Wide and had similar, but not the same results. Rolled many others while my wife picked out clothes ( because it’s not all about how you play but how you look like you play). I just couldn’t put any better, in the store, with anything else, so I bought the Tri Hot 5K. 
 

It has rolled every bit as good on the course. 

[Misc1600]

Are the stock head-weights all 25 grams? So you would only but the kit if you wanted a lighter head? 

[Frazer]

With counterbalance putters being used so much , I've been tempted to lengthen my TW from 35" to 37.5" and throwing on a super stroke 17" grip.

 

Thoughts?

Would ye know what weight that stock grip is?? 

[Misc1600]

Believe 75 grams with 30 weight plug

Received the double wide today. Rolled it a few times on the practice mat. Initial feel is good. Hoping it's the right mix of everything I've been wanting in a putter for a while. Going to change the grip to the Jumbomax style I've been using to to keep things familiar. We'll see how it does on grass in the coming weeks.

That is my understanding, wish they had heavier weights, as I went with a SS tour 3.0 grip and it is almost too counterweighted.

I'd call Callaway/Odyssey and ask, because they're notorious for displaying incorrect options/specs on their website. I had to contact them about the Toulon weight kit a while back, as well as inform them that the advertised specs for their Toulon Chicago was wrong and they changed it. It Doesn't make sense to offer weights that would only reduce the head-weight; plus why would they do that for the TriHot5k's kit when they offer heavier/normal weight options for their Toulon and the "Standard" kits. And if you're using the stroke-lab shaft, and play less than 35", a 365gram head is on the lighter end considering the counterweighting in the butt-end of the shaft.

 

I'd wager that it's a website mistake.

 

Also, aftermarket weights are usually good and very accurate in weight - often times more accurate than the OEM's weights. So that's another good option assuming they exist

Anyone have a side by side photo of versa 7 and tri hot 7?

Those are some good recommendations. It didn't make sense to me either that they wouldn't offer a lighter weight and heavier weight, than the stock.

Can someone please chime in about the durability of the finish of these putters?Specifically the seven?Currently have a white hot versa seven,like the putter,do NOT like the way the paint easily chips off the surface,hoping the tri-hot 5k’s have more of an anodized finish that won’t chip?

Shouldn’t have an issue if you use a head-cover, the shiny finish of the aluminum “rear” portion of the Trihots might be a bit more susceptible to chipping than the black finish of stainless steel front section. But it doesn’t seem like it’d be an issue with a head-cover. But overall, yes, it should be more durable than the Versa finish

Thanks,absolutely will be using a head-cover,good to hear it will be more durable than the white-hot versa.

My #2 arrived today. I love it so far but can’t stand the grip. I’m going to put a “golf pride pro only red” grip on it. Practically the same weight.

Did you use a cover on your versa? I don't want the paint chipping off mine.

[dvboy]

Yes,took very good care of it.The chipping is very minor,but I can see down the road it won’t be very durable.It appears to me the head is painted on the surface,anodized would have been much preferred.

Another good option is this grip: https://www.golfgalaxy.com/p/odyssey-white-hot-pro-putter-grip-ss13odywtehtprogrp/ss13odywtehtprogrp

 

Best Odyssey grip produced in my personal opinion, just a simple rubber material with a nice texture - almost velvet style. Quite popular on Tour. I believe that’s what Gooch uses on his Trihot #2 as well

 

But that GP Red-Star is also a great option

Great grip.  Also like the dfx gray rubber that they abandoned in favor of the foam style.  I see dfx in black from Japan on the bay as well

I really liked the original black rubber DFX they used a few years ago (i think Poulter still uses it), but the gray  DFX that came with the initial release of WH OG’s felt a little slick to me for some reason. Great shape but a little slick for me unlike the original black DFX and the White Hot Pro

I didn’t know that the black has more traction.  Thanks for the tip.  Will try one out
