Odyssey White Hot Tour #9 Putter Review

The Odyssey White Hot Tour #9 putter is one of several Odyssey sticks modeled after the club Phil Mickelson uses on the green. As one might expect given that endorsement, it’s a putter that looks unassuming, but packs a mighty punch on the course.

It is a toe-weighted blade putter, with a half-shaft offset to make it easier to line up the ball and a single white line pointing it towards the hole. Many putters on the market look similar, but the Odyssey White Hot Tour #9 putter stands out because of its precise balance, both isolated in the clubhead and extended to the rest of the putter.

The weight of the clubhead is finely-calibrated, balanced via the weight ports in the club sole. Because they change based on the size of the shaft, each Odyssey White Hot Tour #9 putter has the feel, control and accuracy that top players demand.

It doesn’t take much practice with the Odyssey White Hot Tour #9 putter to see the benefits. It’s a very easy club to swing well, because there’s nothing in the club that forces the stroke off its desired plane. An insert adds an elastomer core that inspires a truer roll and softer feel, making this a true offshoot of the model Mickelson made famous.
