Fair given the various price points that exist in the putter realm.Do we consider Odyssey “premium” putters given their price points? Or is that more Toulon territory?
That’s fair. We have to remember though, Odyssey has never been about plain and sleek, remember the red ball?Fair given the various price points that exist in the putter realm.
I suppose when I consider what I want a $399USD putter to look like, it's not this. Throwing weird call-outs like 5K on the back is something that I would expect from a $99-$150USD putter that is trying too hard to be relevant and I would expect to give up some sleeker looks for price savings.
Agreed, those would classify imo, but since Toulon came in, we have seen a clear differentiation it feels like.I don't think they are premium, I think Toulon fills that gap for them.
Now granted, they have done some "Premium" releases in the past, but their standard offerings I wouldn't consider premium.
However, they have done some cool stuff

I was just making that point - however poorly. I scratch my head at what/why Toulon sells/works - Other than the Columbus - closest off the rack to a long neck putter (ha), I have no interest, in Toulon. I still think that many play what they see the pros play, not what may work best for an individual - so a milled Odyssey would/could be a premium putter - and once you leap into the $400 range I think you are in the premium range (albeit at the bottom end), Scotty's retail at about $425ish - so a $399 Odyssey same difference.
I guess I wonder what Toulon has to offer that makes it premium over Odyseey - for the buyer at retail, vice custom?
That’s fair. We have to remember though, Odyssey has never been about plain and sleek, remember the red ball?
To me, that’s a fairly standard price range for OEM putters. Premium is more in the Toulon/SC range.
Are they really ever out of ideas when they’re the most dominant putter brand in the game year after year?View attachment 9045190
The whole thing, even the name. Tri Hot 5k ? Right out of the Out of Ideas factory.
Feels extremely unlikely, but I totally reserve the right to fall in love with one and hate myself for it though.
I think you might be surprised. The Zing remains a super popular shape among the older crowd.View attachment 9045196
And yet, the same old three (that was the 2 in O Works I believe) shape that no one buys either.
I didn't say ideas on how to sell.Are they really ever out of ideas when they’re the most dominant putter brand in the game year after year?
Had me at forward CG.
People don’t miss significantly on putters, and the forward CG creates a more balanced feel and also can improve roll. Massive perimeter weighting does increase MOI, but it also alters the CG location. Check this review out, I dive into it all:Honest question here, why do people seem to want forward CG in putters and claim higher MOI/forgiveness, yet in drivers, they seem to try to get the CG as far back as they can for more forgiveness? Just wondering the scientific/analytical reasoning for the difference. I’ve never figured it out.
You could switch to putting RH like I do (play lefty putt righty). Then you can use ALL the puttersPlease, I am begging, someone in the know…please tell me that plumbers neck double wide will be available in left handed??? We missed out on the OG double wide last year…..I am trying to speak (type) it into existence!!!
Without a doubt yes. Everything about new line is better than OG to meWas thinking about getting a White Hot OG #1 for Christmas. Should I hold out for the Tri-Hot version instead?
Abso-freaking-lutely you should wait for whatever is coming lolWas thinking about getting a White Hot OG #1 for Christmas. Should I hold out for the Tri-Hot version instead?
