Golfers are always looking to improve their putting, and as one of the leaders in the industry, Odyssey is doing its best to provide as many options as possible to golfers looking to align and putt better. Enter the Odyssey Triple Track #7.

Unlike drivers, putters don’t offer the same amount of head and center of gravity adjustability to fine-tune launch conditions—although there is of course still lie and loft fitting. The way a golfer stands over a putt to align is a completely unique part of the game, which is why putter companies offer so many options for head shape and alignment. One of the most popular shapes in the Odyssey line over the last decade has been the #7 design—noted for its sharp “fang” shape to boost MOI, and now it is available with Triple Track Alignment technology

Triple Track technology

As we covered in the original Triple Track putter, launch piece (2020 Odyssey Triple Track & Stroke Lab Black putters) Triple Track lines use your eye’s Vernier Acuity—“the ability to discern a misalignment among two line segments or gratings”—to help make sure you aligned properly when putting. The human eye is extremely sensitive to parallel lines, and designers are using this sensitivity to the golfer’s advantage.

The #7 is one of Odyssey’s most popular shapes and this new putter will capitalize on both the fang alignment and Tripple Track, to help golfers sink more putts.

The whole technology story

Like all Stroke Lab putters, the new #7 will have the Stroke Lab multi-material shaft. The shaft design combines a graphite body with a steel tip, which in total weighs just 75 grams. With the majority of weight concentrated in the tip, this makes the shaft a full 40 grams lighter compared to a standard steel Odyssey putter shaft. This weight savings allows engineers to place more mass below the hands using a counterweight to help improve stroke consistency.

According to Odyssey, the addition of their new shaft and weight distribution results in “improvements in the consistency of backswing time, face angle at impact, ball speed, and ball direction,” while “feel for the putter head becomes more acute.” What this means is—you have the opportunity to sink more putts.

The new #7 putter is fit with the popular Microhinge Star insert to increase the sound for better player feedback. The Microhinge Star insert improves the correlation between the sound and expected distance a player will hit the ball—firmer means farther. As it has been commonly discussed with equipment, sound = feel.
