2012 Odyssey Flip Face Putter
Here’s just one of the Odyssey Flip Face Putters for 2012.
What Odyssey Says:
These putters, known as Flip Face or FF, feature a face that literally flips using a simple tool. In one setting the ball will impact a firmer new metal insert known as Metal X and in the other a softer more traditional Odyssey White Ice insert. The technology gives the player the option to adjust the feel and performance of the putter to their liking or course conditions. The putters are slated to be in stores April, 13th with a street price of $349.99.
This is the Flip Face 5. This is a rounded mallet with a single-bend shaft and full-shaft offset.
Metal-X Insert:
Lightweight aluminum outer layer utilizes oval depressions to maximize the Coefficient of Friction, which helps quickly generate straighter topspin for reduced skidding and the truest roll in the game
Urethane inner layer provides soft feel and saves weight to optimize performance
White Ice Insert:
Multi-layer insert has been fine-tuned to enhance sound, responsiveness, resiliency and consistency
Inner core enhances feel and resiliency, leading to consistent distance control
Face surface has been roughened to enhance the sound at impact with softer golf balls and increase friction to promote forward roll
Satin Chrome Finish provides a premium, beautiful look that is a favorite on Tour. Lamkin 3GEN Pistol Grip is thin, smaller pistol shape appeals to better players. Made of Lamkin’s proprietary 3GEN material, which is their softest synthetic rubber compound and reduces vibration without dulling the feel of the putt. Allows golfers to keep forearms relaxed, apply very light grip pressure and minimize hand tension for smooth, consistent strokes.

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.
Bud Cauley had >14 clubs in his bag when photographed prior to the Memorial Tournament.

- 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.”

Manufacturers seem committed to the idea that “High Price” suggests “Better Performance”. … Usually “not true” but that won’t stop us from testing to see what a club can do. …Nothing wrong with this but “who” can afford “new equipment” especially with an economy so dreadful that Golf Courses have to close??

For years I used a putter from the Caveman era of golf until I discovered this putter. On slow greens I prefer the metal insert, on fast greens it is the white insert. The putter is remarkably well balanced in either position. They go for nothing because apparently they were a market failure of some sort. I got mine for $57.

It might be expensive but you should try it out first. This putter is awesome. Don’t knock until you try it.

SO is there going to be a new rule? You can only adjust the face of your putter before the round?!?!?! This is getting out of hand.

They should have made more faces on it like a driver, wedge and maybe a 5 iron.

what a piece of dog xxxx. Just buy two putters for 1/2 the price each and you can “adjust to course conditions”. what do the rules say you do if your putter falls apart into 6 pieces during a round?? are you allowed to reassemble?

LOL. This is garbage! I cant do anything but laugh at this thing. Odyssey putters continue to go down hill.

when my putting tempo or swing tempo for that matter is good enough to discern between the harder/softer face of a putter and be able to get use out of it is the day I would consider a doctor Moro (sp?) contraption.
