The White Hot OG putters will be available with either a traditional steel shaft or an updated version of the Odyssey Stroke Lab shaft with a shorter steel section and a red graphite area. The White Hot typically creates a soft sound on short putts and a crisper, higher-toned clicking sound on long putts that are hit harder. Some putter inserts feel exceedingly soft or sound too quiet when players hit putts firmly, leading to distance control problems. For many players, it also creates a sound that matches the force applied to putts. It is firm to the touch, but at impact it behaves like soft material. The White Hot insert was developed from the same urethane material Callaway used in the Rule 35 golf ball. Odyssey has not ignored the clamoring or the loyalty of White Hot users, and at long last the company has decided to bring out a new line of clubs that feature the original insert, the White Hot OG putters. About half the Odyssey putters used on professional tours last year were either old White Hot putters or new models retrofitted with a White Hot insert. Like “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” the insert has a cult following. Still, some golfers have been reluctant to set down their White Hot putters and switch to anything else. Odyssey added the White Hot insert to putters starting in 2000, and in the 20 years since, the putter arm of Callaway Golf has released a host of other inserts to enhance golfers’ feel on the greens and make the ball roll better.įrom metal mesh to microhinges to various urethane blends, many options have been explored and researched.
