Odyssey Black Series i #9 Putter Reviews

The Odyssey Black Series i #9 putter is modeled after the one Phil Mickelson uses in competition. Curious about what one of the greatest golfers in PGA Tour history likes to use on tour? Read on.

Design-wise the Odyssey Black Series i #9 putter is tough to beat. It takes a 1025 carbon steel body and adds it to a weighted tungsten flange, and the high-density tungsten helps foster a low and deep center of gravity. The engineers behind the club focused on optimizing the head weight, keeping the ball rolling steady.

There’s also a tour insert to increase the club’s responsiveness. The Odyssey Black Series i #9 putter has an elastomer core attached to a thin but firm, urethane-infused hitting surface. It gives both feel and power; a little hit goes a long way, and it’s easy to notice if something isn’t right with the stroke because of that exceptional feel. But a mis-hit doesn’t mean disaster, as the hitting surface is forgiving enough to limit the damage.

In short, it’s a club that offers balance, forgiveness, performance, and reliability. It’s no wonder that Mickelson inspired its design, and it explains why it’s become a staple of golf bags everywhere.
