Same here. 2-3 months to 9/11-9/18. I ordered with a rep over the phone that put the order through pretty early on release date. Another video showing MH amazing with topspin but launch slightly high so a perfect slower/shaggy green putter:

 

 

 

I have not watched this video yet but I did watch the one where he was rolling the Jailbird vs. Champions choice. Seems like Ian just launches all of his putters on the high side. He switched back to his champions choice after turning it down to 0 degrees. I think it largely depends on the operator, as the tour guys aren't playing on slow or shaggy greens with 2.5 deg. of loft.

Yeah Johnny Wunder was the one testing this time and just slightly higher than "ideal" launch on their putting system. I think it's just an elaborate way to try and "sell" people on the WH insert.

For anyone looking to order north of the border, Callaway will not sell you one of these. I asked if I could order one over the phone and it was a no-go.

That’s just a dumb move by Cally imho.

My ship date is 9/20-9/26. Just in time for the fall season and putting the clubs away. Guess I'll have a new potato masher for thanksgiving....

[TheMoneyShot]

Just checked my account again and now it shows my MH Versa putter will ship 9/11 - 9/18.  Now we’re making progress, must have moved up from all of the canceled orders😂

Just checked my account and it went from 9/11-9/18 back to December. I am just going to stop checking it and it will come when it comes. Been really enjoying the Rahm Rossie release in the meantime…

Yeah, my dates changed twice already today.  My WH version is now stating October.  I’m sure it will change again tomorrow🤪

I ordered one as well. Didn't realize stock was 39". I'm going to be calling tomorrow to try and get it 38". Wish me luck. I usually play 34.5"

That’s an easy fix!

Now I’m wondering about this as well.  As someone who plays 35” would 39 be too much?  Was thinking of just rolling with stock.  Surely Cally knows what they’re doing

I play 38 length in all of my tanks and I ordered both of my JBs at the stock 39 inch.

I know Rickie and Wyndham both play 38”

 

Viktor plays 36”

 

39” just seems very long, almost like it would get caught on your clothes.

Maybe if your clothes are super baggy.  

[Wallstreet1978]

I’ve read in another post that Clark is 39 inches and Rickie is 38 5/8 inches.  He had 1/8 removed at US Open to avoid getting caught on his outerwear.

I’m waiting for the first “I got my shipping notification” post on here.

Apparently they don’t.

Yeah, I think they produced these based off the original lengths of both Clark and Fowler.

Did rickie ever say why he blacked out the Odyssey logo on the face? I know that he is not on staff but i'm pretty sure his JB has the logo in the cavity.

Others are too, so we can stop getting multiple posts of "my shipping date is XXX" each day.

Because he couldn’t fit the Cameron script on there as it takes up half the face

I am getting one. Might be able to get another

[GolfNPizza2]

As it gets closer and both my orders seem to get further I might just cancel the microhinge. Was going to try both out and make a decision but I already know I am a fan of the white hot face.

I think it’s easier for them to produce white hot.  Pretty sure micro hinge isn’t in any other current model.  That being said I think September is accurate for MH jailbirds.  Just my opinion

My shipping date hasn’t changed yet today.  I consider that a “win” at this point. 

[johnnybogey]

for someone that typical plays on fast greens, do you think WH is the way to go over the MH?

 

Thanks

I think so. Both inserts are soft in my opinion. However the OG White Hot is the less soft. I think for speed control and distance you would want the harder of what I’d call soft inserts if that makes sense.

Based on Ian’s video that was posted with the WH version, I would say “yes”

Appreciate it fellas. Can’t wait to roll these. My putting this season has been atrocious.
