Odyssey 2-Ball Ten: Alignment matters

Published

on

What do you get when you combine a forgiving geometric head shape with the most popular mallet putter alignment system ever created?

The Odyssey 2-Ball Ten, that’s what you get!

Odyssey 2-Ball Ten puter: Details

Like with many aspects of golf equipment design and creation, there are certain things that almost seem inevitable. This natural progression allows designers to bring elements of great clubs together to not only improve performance from a tangible numbers perspective but also offer consumers choice with something that is new but at the same time feels familiar.

Odyssey did this most recently with the release of the 2021 White Hot OG, and now Odyssey designers are doing it again with the updated Ten series featuring both Triple-Track and 2-Ball alignment systems.

To give you an idea of how all of these elements work together, according to Odyssey, the new 2-Ball Ten offers a 32-percent higher MOI than the original 2-Ball, and when combined with the Microhinge Star insert, creates 38-percent more consistent ball speed.

To create such high MOI putters the Ten’s frame is made from stainless steel and paired with an ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene… I had to look it up too) core structure and aluminum sole to finely tune acoustics.

“It is an amorphous polymer comprised of three monomers, acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. ABS is most commonly polymerize through the emulsification process or the expert art of combining multiple products that don’t typically combine into a single product. When the three monomers are combined, the acrylonitrile develops a polar attraction with the other two components, resulting in a tough and highly durable finished product. The different amounts of each monomer can be added to the process to further vary the finished product. The versatility of ABS plastic properties contributes largely to its popularity across several industry sectors.” (Thanks, Adreco plastics)

The ABS material allows for maximum distribution of heavy parts to the extreme perimeter of the putter to exponentially boost the MOI (Moment of Inertia: a measurement of forgiveness) but also allows for precise geometry to create a pleasing acoustic.

The last ket past to the whole “system” that is the Stroke Lab Ten is the improved multi-material Stroke Lab shaft which is lighter and stiffer than the original to create extra stability and promote a more consistent putting stroke.

When you put this all together you get technology pushing putters that bring combine the modern with the classic, and helps you make more putts.

    Ban mallets and return skill to putting

      Still have to stroke the ball and align the face with the target ,,,no differently than any other putter configuration
      Should we ban ball alignment aids ? green contour books? that take zero ability to read , rather than interpret and make judgement. Even further on tour we have caddies reading greens and consulting independently with their player over which line ..?
      Where would you like to draw the line ? Perhaps the answer is what ever gives the individual ,the greatest confidence and , more importantly enjoyment playing the game we all love

      100% with you on that one. Especially if it would be considered an illegal club if it had a bigger face and was called a driver. Way overdue for a rollback on “professional” equipment.

    I really hope this is a trand that starts in the putter world. Pick you head, pick your hosel and pick your alignment aid. No compromise. Fantastic!!!

    $300 for a plastic putter. I wonder what the sound/feel is like.

      Hey, why limit yourself to $300? You can buy one right now for $1500 on Ebay!

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

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.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
