Unofficial Review: "A Day Out With The Odin X"

"A Day Out With The Odin X"

 

Today I will be bringing a unique and unofficial review of the Odin X balls. My review will be based on course performance from the Tee, the mid-short game, and putting. I am currently a beginner level golfer. Thus far I have also played the "Taylormade Soft Response" and "Wilson Duo Soft" balls, respectfully. I hope you all enjoy my review and also check out the review of the "Odin X1" below which is a big reason I am here with the Odin X balls today. 

Forum Member Recap: ODIN X1

 

Ahh yes, a beautiful 6am Tee time in Long Beach, California after a full day of rain. I decided it was the perfect day to take the Odin X balls and give them a full go. I play a lot of early morning, wet condition, tee times. So I figured this was the perfect opportunity. Below are just some highlights from our trip to Bixby Village!

Here we are getting ready for our tee time before the sun rises! No fog and a perfect morning for golf.

Here we can be seen on the 2nd hole. The Odin decided it was time to take flight over the lake and onto the green. Very great flight it was!

Unfortunately, on our way to the destination, we had to stop for a break. We were almost there!

On our travels today, we hung around the lakes that had gathered on the fairway due to the rain. The ducks greeted us in kind along the way

We treaded through the waters to the 6th stop on our trip. Where we had another short flight onto the green. I could've sworn I saw a birdie . Sadly, I did not find it. 

At last, we had made it to our 9th and final stop before heading home. The Odin and I had a great time, but we were ready to call it.

Unfortunately, I took a wrong turn left along the way and ended up in a rough spot.

And then... Is that a... Bridgestone lost our their in the desert?

Sure enough it was!! So I decided to help it out of the desert and brought it along with us. It was a little weary but to be fair, the Odin was looking powerful that day. 

And then finally. We all went home and relaxed.

Thank you all for taking the time to read my little short story. Now, for my review of the ball. The presentation when arriving was excellent, I am a fan of the vibrant colors of the brand. @Jordan ODIN Golf emailed me shortly after my purchase and his customer service is top notch. 

When playing the ball from the tee, I could really feel the ball when it connected with my club and through the shot. There was no mistaking the trajectory of the Odin X's. The only balls I had lost were due to large accumulations of water found on the fairways. Overall, I saw a great increase in control and distance using the Odin balls compared to the balls I had previously gamed with.

When it came to the approach and wedges, it was simply more of the same. The feel is amazing from the fairways and even so in the rough as the ball is very workable. Error shots from the tee were easily wiped away. I believe the Odin X's really shine in this area of the game as I found myself regularly finding the green on approach whereas with other balls, it was a guessing game.

Now to the putting, I saw a huge difference in putting. The contact with the ball is clean and has a nice pop up upon release. I found myself not just putting to keep the ball manageable along the greens, but really going for and almost sinking longer putts than with previously used balls. The ball rolls true, through and through.

Overall. This is going to be the ball that I game and the only other ball I am currently going to consider trying at this time is the Odin X1 as the reviews for the X1 are fantastic as well. Everything from the price point to the balls themselves make the Odin brand stand out among the competition.

Are you ready to go balls out?

Great job @Michael.Sandoval33! The Odin balls have been getting some traction here on the forum for both their performance and their pricing scale. I haven't looked into getting any yet as I'm fairly well stocked up on MaxFli Tour balls. Who knows? Maybe I'll get some to try soon as I'm not really much of a club ho, but I was a golf ball ho until I settled in on the MaxFli. 

Keep us posted on how they work for you.

I will definitely keep this post updated as I continue to play with the Odins. I want to try out some different shots and putts with them once the conditions are better. Thanks for reading!

I am about to reload myself. I figured since the courses are going to be rained out for at least a week, it's the perfect time to wait 'patiently' for the new boxes to get here.

Great review, great write up!  I believe MGS needs to add you to the editors list for Tester review summaries LOL!  Looks like your 54 hcp is in danger of a precipitous drop as a frequent flyer on the Odin plan.

Thank you.
