ODYSSEY INTRODUCES PREMIUM LINE OF PROTYPE BLACK PUTTERS

1025 Carbon Steel Milled Putters Offer Stealth Look, Unmatched Feel in Tour-Proven Models

 

 

CARLSBAD, Calif., August 29, 2012 – Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today introduced the new Odyssey® ProType Black™ line of milled, carbon steel putters at the Company's national sales meeting, taking place north of San Diego. Crafted for the best players in the world by Odyssey's award-winning design team, the ProType Black line features heads with a black PVD finish, black powder coat steel shafts, and a black, seamless grip giving the premium collection a distinctively stealth look. The 1025 Carbon Steel designs incorporate feedback from hundreds of Tour professionals around the world and offer an unprecedented integration of look, sound and feel from the #1 Putter in Golf®.

 

Odyssey's ProType Black putters will debut in three head shapes, each of which has delivered trophy and jacket-winning results on the professional tours. The putters are made from 1025 Carbon Steel, producing similar performance characteristics to stainless steel, but with a softer feel. The face of each putter features a deep, sharp milling pattern designed to increase interaction between the face and the ball for better feel, a truer roll and increased consistency.

 

“Our new ProType Black putters may be the coolest, most premium designs we've ever developed, and it was great to see the enthusiasm of our sales force when they were unveiled,” said Austie Rollinson, Odyssey's Principal Designer. “The ProType Black line is born from feedback given by the world's best players, which yielded features such as thinner top lines and thicker faces, and the forged-milled 1025 Carbon Steel offers a uniquely soft feel and the crisp feedback that golfers have come to expect from our ProType series. The midnight black finish and black powder coat shafts combine to give golfers a cool look that is becoming increasingly popular across a number of industries.”

 

Odyssey is the #1 Putter across the world's major professional tours in wins, usage and top-10 finishes. The ProType Black line will arrive at retail on October 12 in three models, #2, #9 and 2-Ball. The new product introduction retail price for the blade models is $269 and $299 for the 2-Ball.

Nice to see these coming out. I saw them back in January and was thinking that they may be tour only. Black 2-Ball was sweet looking. I will dig around for photos...

[GolfSpy Dave]

Here are a couple. Quality is a bit weak, but I was being covert

How do the milled 2-balls feel? Do they feel the same as the other protype models? Might consider getting the silver one when these black ones come out, although I'm currently preferring Anser style heads...

I have NEVER been a fan of Odyssey putters. Never. I mean ever.

 

Umm...having said that, the #2 could win me over.

[Miboy62]

Those look sharp, like the black.

Wow! What a massive upgrade from the Tour Design Black Series 2 years ago, LOL!

[Flv02]

I want the black 9 soooooooooooooooooooooo bad

[Flv02]

I've got the Black(last year's models) #1(anser design) & #8(heel-shafted blade, WS 8802 desgn)...The #1's sweet, however the #8 is amazing..Much nicer than my Scotty Napas(same design)..Let me know if you're interested & I'll send ya some pics...

 

If you're interested, and I know you've got school startin up with all of the expenses that go with it, you can make payments if ya want..They're real reasonable...

 

 

Fairways & Greens 4ever...

 

Sure! Send me some pictures of the 8. No promises, but I think it will be worth a look. Thanks RP!

Never found an Odyssey I'd game. These look pretty "proto-typical" to me. Same stuff they've been doing for years, just black and more expensive, minus the inserts that they've marketed as superior for over a decade.

 

Pretty stale designs if you ask me.
