Odyssey 2-Ball Ten: Alignment matters

What do you get when you combine a forgiving geometric head shape with the most popular mallet putter alignment system ever created?

The Odyssey 2-Ball Ten, that’s what you get!

Odyssey 2-Ball Ten puter: Details

Like with many aspects of golf equipment design and creation, there are certain things that almost seem inevitable. This natural progression allows designers to bring elements of great clubs together to not only improve performance from a tangible numbers perspective but also offer consumers choice with something that is new but at the same time feels familiar.

Odyssey did this most recently with the release of the 2021 White Hot OG, and now Odyssey designers are doing it again with the updated Ten series featuring both Triple-Track and 2-Ball alignment systems.

To give you an idea of how all of these elements work together, according to Odyssey, the new 2-Ball Ten offers a 32-percent higher MOI than the original 2-Ball, and when combined with the Microhinge Star insert, creates 38-percent more consistent ball speed.

To create such high MOI putters the Ten’s frame is made from stainless steel and paired with an ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene… I had to look it up too) core structure and aluminum sole to finely tune acoustics.

“It is an amorphous polymer comprised of three monomers, acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. ABS is most commonly polymerize through the emulsification process or the expert art of combining multiple products that don’t typically combine into a single product. When the three monomers are combined, the acrylonitrile develops a polar attraction with the other two components, resulting in a tough and highly durable finished product. The different amounts of each monomer can be added to the process to further vary the finished product. The versatility of ABS plastic properties contributes largely to its popularity across several industry sectors.” (Thanks, Adreco plastics)

The ABS material allows for maximum distribution of heavy parts to the extreme perimeter of the putter to exponentially boost the MOI (Moment of Inertia: a measurement of forgiveness) but also allows for precise geometry to create a pleasing acoustic.

The last ket past to the whole “system” that is the Stroke Lab Ten is the improved multi-material Stroke Lab shaft which is lighter and stiffer than the original to create extra stability and promote a more consistent putting stroke.

When you put this all together you get technology pushing putters that bring combine the modern with the classic, and helps you make more putts.

  Still have to stroke the ball and align the face with the target ,,,no differently than any other putter configuration
  Should we ban ball alignment aids ? green contour books? that take zero ability to read , rather than interpret and make judgement. Even further on tour we have caddies reading greens and consulting independently with their player over which line ..?
  Where would you like to draw the line ? Perhaps the answer is what ever gives the individual ,the greatest confidence and , more importantly enjoyment playing the game we all love

  100% with you on that one. Especially if it would be considered an illegal club if it had a bigger face and was called a driver. Way overdue for a rollback on “professional” equipment.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

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.”
