Odyssey Big T putters aim to make alignment even easier

Odyssey’s Big T putters put a new a twist on the company’s popular Versa alignment system, with four new models that aim to make alignment even easier for golfers.

[quote_box_center]“It’s almost foolproof at how easy it is to see whether you’re square to your target or not,” says Austie Rollinson, Principal Designer for Odyssey.[/quote_box_center]

The foolproof part, according to Rollinson, is the combination of thick perpendicular and parallel lines that intersect to form a large “T” alignment aid on the putter. While T-shaped alignment aids are nothing new in putter design, Odyssey’s decision to display the alignment system so boldly with alternating black and white lines is visually unique.

The idea was inspired by a trip Rollinson and Odyssey’s Global Director of Product Strategy Chris Koske took to Japan, they said. While visiting the Odyssey Tour Department in Japan, they saw an Odyssey Versa V-Line putter that the team had customized for a tour player with a milled perpendicular line that was thicker than the team generally used. Both Koske and Rollinson were intrigued by the look, and the next day Rollinson sketched the first Big T prototype.

The Big T putters are an extension of the company’s new Works line (click here to read about them), and use the same insert as the Works putters, Odyssey’s Fusion RX. It’s designed to feel like the company’s famed White Hot insert, but perform better due to a metal mesh covering that improves friction at impact for an improved roll.

The Big T putters also have black powder-coated shafts that limit glare and have been popular with PGA Tour players in recent years, and are available with SuperStroke grips.

Learn more about of the models in the Big T line below, which will sell for $179 and be in stores June 12.

In my experience, no T line will work for everyone or help aim. Everyone is different and sees differently. I am a centershafted no offset blade a few inches to the left. I cannot aim a heel shafted no offset blade consistently even with lines. But I can aim a mallet with no lines at the target. Before you buy a putter, use something that at least tells you if you can aim it correctly. It may still be too heavy, too long, or the lie angle may be incorrect, but at least you’ll aim it right. Why not, as Rickie Fowler says, get “Custom Fit.”

So the option for upcharging to a SuperStroke…

Do you get your choice on which SuperStroke to order? Because the $20 upcharge is nearly the retail price of whichever SuperStroke you might want…

I guess I am just not like most golfers; I still look at many of the big OEM’s as component-makers; whatever they have to sell me, chances are >50% that I will change it in some way. Re-grip, reshaft, bend, weight, hotmelt, etc.

I love that Odyssey is constantly coming up with new designs and tweaking some of the old ones. They seem to be “owning” the putter market the last couple years. Every time I visit a big box store seems like everyone flocks to the Odysseys more than anything else.

  New designs? Nothing original here. Look at the seemore putter website and you’ll see similar putters.

I wonder if the center shafted version will come in a counterbalanced version.

Great-looking heads. But I am not so sure about a black powder-coated shaft. Are you going to need a shaft cover along with a putter head cover? What is the real reason/need for something other than a chrome shaft?

  A powder coat finish is extremely durable

  I prefer the previous version of the Odyssey Works V-Line: same head but silver matte, black “T” with white line, chrome shaft – – they’re just covering all bases on personal preference for finishes.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
