Odyssey Works Tank Cruiser putters
Odyssey’s new Works Tank Cruiser putters combine the company’s most proven and popular technologies to create the ultimate counterbalanced putter line.
The four new models — #1 Wide, 2-Ball Fang, V-Line and #7 — will sell for $249 when they hit stores on October 30. They’re available for pre-order on odysseygolf.com on October 16.
Here’s what you need to know about them.
- Odyssey’s Tank Cruiser weight system gives golfers the ability to adjust both the head weight and grip weight of the putters, offering total control over the counterbalancing effect. Each putter comes stock with a SuperStroke grip, and an included weight kit has 0, 5-, 15- and 30-gram weights, any of which can be installed in the butt end of the grip.
- As a general rule, adding more weight to the grip will help limit hand action during the stroke, while removing weight from the grip will increase swing weight and add more club head feel.
- According to Austie Rollinson, chief designer for Odyssey Golf, there’s no formula to finding the right weight combination for your stroke. For that reason, three sets of adjustable head weights are also included with the putters to help golfers find the right combination of head weight and grip weight for their stroke.
- Odyssey’s Fusion RX face insert (above) combines the company’s popular White Hot insert with the steel mesh that improves friction at impact for better ball roll. This insert was first seen in Odyssey’s Works Versa line launched last year.
- Versa technology, which has proven its effectiveness in previous Odyssey putter lineups, uses thick, contrasting lines to make aim and alignment easier for golfers of all skill levels.
- Each putter is available in both 35- and 38-inch lengths.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
