Wow! What an awesome test! Excited to see how the testers fare with these! Been a while since I've been able to participate on the Forum due to work constraints, but now settled into a new job with a lot better hours and flexibility. Golf time has about quadrupled over the last 2 months. Pumped to jump back in and be more active on the Forum again.

Perhaps we need one of our resident experts like @edingc to give a tutorial or virtual workshop event!
actually that might not be a bad idea for a forum series. @GolfSpy_TCU take note! Haha
In the book of ideas!

Looks like a great group of testers! Excited to see the results.

4 month update:
Winter is cold and brutal and outside of last Wednesday, Georgia has not given much of an opportunity to play. Last Wednesday though, I had my best putting performance of potentially my life. 8 1-putts and 1 3-putt en route to a 27 total putt performance. I only had a few tap ins and made 3 putts over 25 feet. Needless to say the #7 has found a permanent home in my bag.

Decided to re-grip my #7 today. While I liked the odyssey standard grip, my SuperStroke 1.0 pistol which I’ve used for 6 years was calling my name.
-
In Southern California for Christmas and snuck out to Pelican Hill this week for a round with the #7 in hand. It performed fantastic! 1 3-putt and 5 1-putts en route to 30 total putts and an 81.

Drumroll please: The link to the final, final review is posted here.
Loved getting to complete another test for MGS Forum. Looking forward to next testing season already!

Sorry everyone for the delay. Have had some family things come up over Thanksgiving week and haven't had the time to sit down to finalize my review. I promise it will be done by 11/30 and post the update once it's complete.

Working on my final review today, and tomorrow and will let everyone know when I’ve posted it. Just got back from a wedding weekend last night where we played golf on Friday. Course we played was run down, but was the first course I played with slow greens (like 6 or 7 slow) and it definitely gave me an interesting perspective for my final review.

Back from Bandon Dunes, man what a trip and great group of guys. 16 in total ranging from +1 to 23 handicaps playing a Ryder Cup style. I won't bore you guys with un-wanted/needed details, but man did we luck out with weather. Shorts everyday and short sleeve shirts on 3 of the 4 days.
Onto putting, I personally was not good. one round I had 40 putts. Constantly leaving the ball 3'-4' from the cup and I did not make all of them and I expect to. That was my singles match that I lost 1 down. 4 putted from 120', yes it was all on the green. I didn't count anything that was off since I did use my putter A LOT from off the green. A lot of lag putts ending up within 4' was great.
What was your favorite course?

Looking at the url, I think it's the same site I've been using: https://www.golfrankingstats.com/strokes-gained-calculator/
It's a pretty nifty site, I've been going over some of my numbers to figure out strokes gained from different distances.
@TCUFrog, that's a great job putting from your round at Mclemore! Sounds like you had a good time there..
@tchat07its the same site that @sirchunksalotuses. Love the layout and simplicity vs. what Arccos layout looks like.
Round was good! Off the tee was struggling a bit but I had a few shots with the irons and wedges that were darts. On hole 3, hit a 52 degree to 3 ft.

Sorry, I’ve been MIA over the last week. Left work for one day off and the world fell apart while I was gone, so I’ve been trying to pick up the pieces the last 5 days.
Before work went to hell, I was able to get a round in at the Mclemore on Wednesday. See above for my putting stats from the round. 3 putt on the second hole was just a terrible first putt. Left myself an 8 ft downhill left to right slider which lipped out. The #7 continues to grow on me. Made a few really good putts and almost all my second putts were tap ins. Continuing to grind over some indoor practice with colder temps here in Georgia this week. The biggest surprise to echo @sirchunksalot is that I love the standard pistol grip. I may eventually shift back into the Superstroke 1.0 pistol again but for now the Odyssey grip has really grown on me.
Have a psycho work week ahead of me before taking Thursday and Friday off, but have a final round planned for Friday in Palm Beach to close out my testing.

Best of luck at Mclemore, that's a local course that I would love to play one day. A couple of guys from work played there 2 years ago and said it was spectacular, especially the 18th.
It’s a great track. I do a trip up there two or 3 times a year! The 18th is phenomenal and probably the best finishing hole I’ve played outside of pebble 18. They also have a Par 5 that is a 2 fairway split but the second fairway plays 250 feet below the upper fairway.

Here’s a video of me putting with the number 7 from behind 6 ft out. I’m really loving the lack of “ping” sound off the face vs. what sound I get with my Spider Mini. Heading up to Mclemore (if you haven’t heard of it, check it out https://www.themclemore.com) and they have some great greens, so I’m excited to get out there and see how the putter rolls.

Good job guys! I have the #7 coming however it will be in the all steel shaft and slant neck. I snagged it from CPO and after trading in a couple of clubs and the deal was sweet enough to add this putter to the stall.
Definitely will be interested to see what you think with the steel shaft. I definitely have noticed a more stable face through contact with the stroke lab vs. the steel on my spider mini.

Looks like the double bend #7 not the short neck #7 (#7s)
https://www.callawaygolf.com/clubs/odyssey-putters/white-hot-og/putters-2021-wh-og-7-slant.html
You're right. Just pulled it out again in between meetings and it's the standard #7 neck not the #7s.

It appears in the pic that your #7 is not a slant neck?
It is the standard short slant neck that comes with all the #7 models.
-
Just finished up my initial thoughts and review! Let me know if there are any tests you'd like to see. One test I'll complete is a 5 ft and 10 ft circle drill with both my Spider Mini vs the #7 and see which wins.

Been MIA post Scottsdale bachelor party trying to help my liver recover, but that being said:
I was able to play a round while in Scottsdale at Troon North and decided to just make the bold decision to just drop the #7 straight to the bag and leave my spider mini gamer at home. The greens at Troon were running about a 12 and I putted fantastic. Had 1 3-putt and the consistent feel off the putter face with the white hot insert was pure. Even on some heel misses, it still rolled true. I was consistently putting 20-25ft putts within 2 feet of the cup and I didn’t miss a single putt inside of 8 feet.
-
Left for an Atlanta United soccer game, and of course 10 minutes after I leave, my #7 is delivered by UPS. Now that I’m home I’m gawking at the look and working some distance control on my perfect practice putting mat.
I’m leaving tomorrow for Scottsdale for a bachelor party. We play 1 round Friday and should be a pretty raucous time, so I’m going trial by fire and leaving the gamer in Atlanta and taking this with me for the weekend.

Looks like all of us Testers should be getting our putters within the next day or two! Can't wait to get the putter in hand.

Yeah...I kind of have a thing for camo. I think it's the Southeast Tennessee in me and the fact I used to deer hunt. Plus, it kind of matches the theme of my bag.
Love it. Got to stay on brand
AutoFlex Dream 7 Driver Shaft
Posted
Was always a fan of the Speeder shafts, but always felt too light when I would go after it. Would love to see if AutoFlex has figured out a lighter shaft that you can really go after.
