Odyssey introduced two new putter models at the Sony Open in Honolulu -- the Versa Jailbird and the White Hot Pro Havok.
The Versa Jailbird is a high MOI mallet featuring a high contrast technology that is designed to aid alignment at set up and impact. According to Callaway's R&D department, the black and white design "allows the golfer's eyes to key in on linear designs on the putter that accentuate the face angle and contributes to better alignment." The Jailbird is built with a new version of the White Hot insert that is aimed at providing a more consistent feel and sound at impact.
We're not sure if the black/white/black/white design is a distraction or will truly help in alignment like the ever popular 2-ball putters.
The White Hot Pro Havok is also a high MOI mallet that naturally extends the White Hot Pro family. Featuring a lower, deeper CG for a better roll and more consistent distance control, The Havok is built with a new gun metal PVD finish for reduced glare and improved durability. The same improved version of the White Hot insert featured in the Jailbird is also part of the Havok design.
Team Awesome Golf will try to get their hands on these and put them thru the paces.
