I lost interest pretty quick at $449 for the milled option. For $150 more, you start to get into entry level custom putters. For $300 less, you can get a good milled Wilson Staff or Cleveland HB. IDK what possesses Callaway/Odyssey to charge so much more for a milled putter.

$400+ is pretty much the going rate for a milled putter from the top OEMs now days.

Huh, turns out you're right. For some reason I thought Ping milled putters were $349 not $449. Crazy market out there I guess.

Would be cool to be able to pick the head, neck, insert, and color combo

 

a #1 with a flow neck and copper insert in satin silver would be my choice

Didn’t completely go away. Just did something different. It’s a steel Strokelab shaft. Same weighting concept. Different execution. Putted with the #2 and the 7ch yesterday and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised 

 

Interesting.

 

I have a first generation Atlanta that I put a 20g sole weight, and a 50g Super Stroke Countercore in before Stroke Lab was a thing.

 

Once it came out people *insisted* that what I was doing wasn't essentially the same thing. Ha.

These could be a steal compared to the Tel3’s. Would like to see a closer look at this beauty.

 

 

Completely agree, but based on Odyssey's release history you'll probably never get a closer look at the one with a topline. Haha

[SaunaKing]

Might have to sell a few items to pick one of these up. I currently game a Memphis. 

[nova6868]

I can't tell if you're joking or if I finally figured out who's buying these Japanese E-bay listings for 4x the price.  😆

 

[Double Dodger]

They will sell a million of the copper insert models. I know I’ve been impatiently waiting.

How do I get on this inside list to get all the cool stuff early?

That’s usually a very good sign that a full blown release is coming soon😃

[shmitty18]

Hopefully there is a 1W with the copper insert...

[purefish152]

Staying tuned for the retail drop. Undoubtedly, some of the more unique models won't make the cut...

[Cactus Jack]

Will this be a spring release? I noticed Versa putters are on sale…possibly need to clear the deck before the release.

IIRC, November 2023 release.

I'm guessing some styles are held back for year 2.

Cost of steel + CNC time = not cheap

Inflation is in that equation too.

 Don’t forget to add $100 because you made a DUMB “AI” name plate for the bottom.

Love the look but I would prefer a “regular” white hot face in the non-milled line.

Totally agree on wishing this was the regular White Hot insert. (I also think “Ai-One” is kind of goofy and offputting branding after a couple years of really good branding with White Hot OG, Tri-Hot, etc., but whatever.)

Yea darn them for the greed..not like they have to pay employees etc….. living in an high inflation society….

[TheMoneyShot]

I hope they release some in a CB/Tank style🤞

Nice. They've included a spirit-level, will be handy for Augusta.

 

 

 

Did you see the bubble?

Crazy to say you’d prefer a “regular” insert over one you never felt or even seen yourself…

Not really. I’ve never been a fan of Odysseys non WH inserts. I’ve played WH inserts for years and I’m used to the feel and like them. Why do you think the majority of pros almost always retro fit their Odysseys with WH inserts.

If you don't think they have hefty profit margins in club pricing then I'm not sure what to tell you.   

 

You both have given up the right to ever comment on the price of any club release.  No price is too high for you.

Um have you seen just my putter collection alone? I'm not the voice or reason or logic for prices, ever.
