I converted my Odyssey 2-Ball into a Zero Torque putter

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been reacting to a DIY putter conversion. WRXer ‘505’ has turned his Odyssey 2-Ball flatstick into a Zero Torque putter all on his own, and laid out the steps involved as follows:

“1. Cut off hosel with dremel.

2. Find exact CG location. I was able to look this up online, but also verified using a butter knife and balancing the head on it on both axis.

3. Set drill press table to 70 degrees and drill all the way through with 1/4″ bit. Then 3/8″ just through the top disc. Flip over and 3/8″ through the sole.

4. Tap the inside of some 5/16″ OD SS tubing with 1/4-20 tap. Cut off a 1″ piece of it at 70 degrees. This is the new spud hosel.

5. 1/4-20 socket head cap screw up from the sole through the top and into the spud.

6. Epoxy all of it generously.

6. Shaft.

7. Grip.

8. Profit?”

Asked how the putter now performs, ‘505’ said:

“Fantastic overall. Head is a little light (316 grams before the conversion, 322 after), but it rolls and feels stellar. Definitely nailed the CG location correctly and it spins freely, so I’m going to have to be careful with the lead placement to not mess that up. Will test it in a revealer soon.”

    They make that exact model in center shaft.
    There’s a pro that continues to use one for the last few decades. I can’t remember the name

    Well I have some serious questions about the photographs in about how you were able to balance the head considering in the photograph there’s no attachment point where the original Shaft went into the head. Which leads me to believe there is some photoshopping down in some details left out.

    Very interested in doing something like this. I like my putter lie about 78 degrees and I have successfully heated and bent a double bend to meet my needs. I might try your method to build a ZT at 78. Thanks for the info on how you accomplished this.

    I’ve used a center-shafted putter since the 60s. They’ve been very hard to find. My latest, a Cleveland I found in the bargain bin for $35 about ten years ago. It’s interesting that they have been reborn under the new name of zero-torque. I’m happy they are back.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

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.

  • 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.”
