The Odyssey Toe Up Surprise

By Dave Wolfe

Under Wraps…

If the new Odyssey Toe Up putter line tells us nothing else, we now know that Odyssey knows how to keep a secret.

It seems like the recent PGA shows have been all about showing us the new gear that we have actually already seen months prior.

You already snuck a look at the present in your mom’s closet, now you must fake surprise when you unwrap it.

Well, Odyssey must have kept the Toe Up putters at the neighbor’s house, because their unveiling came as a total surprise. This PGA show was really to be all about the unveiling of the new White Hot RX line, and it was mostly. I even had a piece on the White Hot RX line this week.

However, that stealth release of the Toe Up may have stolen a bit of the RX spotlight.

Toe Up: What We Know

So the Toe Up is out there now, sort of. There’s still not a ton of information about these putters, but I will share what I have as of right now.

Rest assured that more will be information and depth of coverage in the coming months.

Here is what Odyssey tells me so far about the Toe Up line:

Stroke Balanced For More Consistency

Precision Crafted Metal-X Face For A Pure Roll

Hi-Def Alignment

SuperStroke Flatso Grip With Counter Core Technology

More To Come

At the risk of repeating myself, we will have more info on these in the coming months. The Toe Ups are not the first putters to have the, well, Toe Up toe-hang. Edel putters have it, and so did the venerable PING Cushin. Odyssey is the #1 Putter in Golf though, and that makes it different.

I’m not being sarcastic, they really are, and it really does.

When a big company like Odyssey does something, it’s going to have a larger impact on the market than it would coming from a small, boutique shop like Edel.

As for that scope of that impact, analysis begins April 15th.
