"Begin shipping 9/15/23", no thank you.  Would be funny if RIckie is back to the Scottie by then.

I’d be shocked.  The versa, as ugly as it is, is imo a much better putter. 

[Golfballwackerguy17]

Don't think it will be very limited at all. Golf Galaxy now has pre orders up....

 

Funny tho, Golf galaxy says shipping July 15th.

 My buyers remorse should kick in around dinner time. 

 

LOL.  My order got stuck and then kicked out.  I was immediately thankful. 

 

I'm bid $300 for those with serious remorse.  Drops to $250 as of July 1st.

Flippers are going crazy on eBay listings today…

Good on Odyssey for making something available to the public that is in high demand and not artificially limiting it.

 

As for anyone that bought this to flip it - great news - free returns on all orders!

[So_Cal]

Can’t believe I ordered one.  Way too many putters but looking forward to it!

Yeah I don’t know any putter makers who do that 🤔

[bkirkley09]

I’m sorry but this is awesome. I just want to try one out as I have been trying LAB but I don’t love them and would love to use a more “traditional” putter. Bought from golf galaxy as I can always return in store if needed.

Agreed! Cally did it right here for sure!

His putting had fallen off a cliff with the Scotty.  Don’t see why he’d go back.

I also dont think this will be a very "limited" release.

Yeah. Just for kicks, I went on a few times over a 30-minute span after the release and I was able to add one to my cart each time. In fact, I also just went on their site and could still order one. I predict there will be a lot of very slightly-used Jailbirds available on eBay for discounted prices this winter.

Nah, there are never too many putters.  It’s like a new addition to the family with each one👍

That pretty much goes for all new clubs that are released.  Buy now and if it doesn’t work, unload later.

Cancelled my order already today and ordered new shaft and the big grip for my Monoblok. Sounds like Wyndy and I were on the same page. 

[Golfballwackerguy17]

About to go to do the same with the golo…. At least that’s 400 plus bucks is worth it.

Very tempted to do the same - September 15th is a lifetime away in golf especially when it is college football season by the time I'll get it.  

[JahSteve]

Not interested but love all the talk about this magical putter... even if i was there is no LH version... Appears the Taylormade Dupage is similar? What makes the jailbird so special... Isnt there a WH OG jailbird as well?

If I were sponsoring Clark I sure wouldn’t want him to use a competitor’s putter.  That being said I’d be careful not to mess up a good thing if I’m Clark.

Yeah but the monoblok doesn’t have a major.  Just saying 😂😂😂

Hopefully mines still in the bag come winter.

No doubt!  Winning the U.S. Open and then switching putters a few weeks later doesn’t sound very smart to me.  I’m sure Titleist wants him in a SC though.

Fair. But the GoLo is what Rickie used for his first PGAT victory so maybe we are still onto something! 😂

Curious on this as well?  It was released 10 years ago and didn’t get much adoption.  You could find them on the bay for under a 100 2 months ago….

[TheMoneyShot]

I just called Cally because they had put additional wraps on my grip that I didn’t order.  They corrected it and said they sold out of putters today.  Looks like they are still available online though?  Guess we will never know who many were produced🤷

What makes it special?  Performance in the Wells Fargo, US Open, Travelers.  That being said trends change.  It’s hot right now though. 

[Golfballwackerguy17]

Looks like callaway added the comments “putter will ship in mid and September and mid November”….

This is true. I actually considered buying this, but if I don’t get it until October it won’t do me much good in western Pennsylvania at that time. I wish they would have fast tracked it a little more. Oh well.

Did you find the heavier/thicker shaft they use?
