Odyssey White Ice 2-Ball Putter

Odyssey has been the foremost leader of the Belly and Long Putter revolution on Tour, as more and more professionals are using Odyssey Belly Putters to win the biggest events in golf. Elite Tour Pros like Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and Trevor Immelman have drained clutch putts and gained more stability and balance through their putting strokes with Odyssey Long and Belly Putters in their hands. The White Hot XG Sabertooth Belly also became the first long putter to ever win a major at this year"s PGA Championship. These models are changing the putting landscape on Tour, and Odyssey continues to lead the charge in this new era of Long and Belly Putter domination.
The Odyssey White Ice series is sporting a new finish this year…it is a black nickel finish with a medium to heavy beadblast. The color is pretty rich but I am not a big fan of the beadblast. I would have preferred to see a lighter beadblast that does not produce such pits which can cause too much reflection coming off the surface of the putter. But the black and darker finishes are the in thing right now…so I get where they were going with the new finish.
With the standard two ball design, where the third ball is your own at the front, really helps with the alignment. It's been the preferential choice for many years for Padraig Harrington, who's put it to great use now having won three majors.

It comes with the standard white insert - which gives a lovely soft feel and great consistency on the roll.

You'll notice at the back you've got a weight system. So if you need a 36" or even a 33" putter, then Odyssey can  put different weights into the head - to give you perfect feel and consistency from the head weight up to the grip handle.

I've never been a very big fan of this putter, but a lot of people have loved it for the ease of aiming up. It's got what I would call the old, conventional Ping Anser style putter head, with the two ball system added on. So it gets the weight further back and sets up a nice pendulum movement.

I don't really like the way it sits but there's a lot of people out there who do. It does help with the alignment, though, I must agree, and it's very easy to get a nice smooth stroke back and through.
