In January, Odyssey released a new family of putters that take advantage of a technology that debuted in Callaway golf balls in 2019. The ERC Soft with Triple Track has two blue lines that bracket a red line, a visual aid designed to help golfers align their putts more easily. The Triple Track putters are made with the same pattern, and several PGA Tour players started using them.
Today, Odyssey has announced that it is expanding the Triple Track putter family and adding its most popular head shape to the lineup, the #7. Used by scores of pros over the years, the #7 head has fang-like pieces that extend from the heel and toe areas that increase perimeter weighting and stability. The Triple Track #7 will be offered with either a single-bend or a double-bend hosel.
Like previously-released putters, the Triple Track #7 ($249.99) comes standard with Odyssey’s Stroke Lab shaft. The shaft’s upper and midsections are graphite, to reduce weight, while the tip section is made from steel. The saved weight has been shifted to the head and a portion of the handle. Research showed Odyssey designers that a heavier head and more weight at the top of the club helped golfers develop a more rhythmic, consistent putting stroke.
It also has the Microhinge Star insert that combines metal pieces with a firmer-feeling plastic face. It produces a higher-pitched, clicking sound at impact that many accomplished players preferred to previously released microhinge inserts.
