Now for the first time, casual golfers can feel like a pro with the Odyssey White Hot Tour #9 putter, which is based on Phil Mickelson's putter model. The White Hot Tour #9 sports a series of unique weight ports in the sole, allowing Odyssey engineers to precisely control the putter head weight and match it to the specific shaft length. The result is impeccable consistency, control, and performance, letting you attack putts with confidence.

Each putter also features Odyssey's White Hot Tour insert, which includes an elastomer core that enhances the feel of the putter, along with a thin, firm outer striking surface that's infused with urethane to create a fine-tuned responsiveness. This not only boosts feedback and distance control, but it also helps shift the weight to the perimeter of the putter head to create a higher moment of inertia (MOI) and better stability. (The White Hot Tour insert is slightly firmer than the Odyssey White Hot XG, creating the type of immediate feedback and responsiveness that accomplished players prefer.) Finally, the putter's Tour-preferred bronze finish is deep and rich, helping reduce glare on the course while adding to the club's aesthetics. Other details include a toe-weighted, heel-shafted flanged blade with a long hosel; a half shaft offset; a 3-degree loft; a 70-degree lie; and your choice of a 33-, 34-, and 35-inch shaft.

About Odyssey Putters An Odyssey putter is a promise made. Odyssey designs each of its putters to help golfers to slay more demons and sink more putts. But the company also designs them to withstand any kind of punishment, and then backs them up with an Odyssey assurance of quality. Odyssey rarely sees a putter returned, but if you find a defect within a two-year period, the company will repair or replace it no questions asked. And that's a promise kept.
About Odyssey
Odyssey believes you can overcome a ton of adversity on the golf course--including nasty rough and deep sand traps--but that you live or die on the green. That's why the company has created some of the industry's most innovative putters over the years. In 1991, Odyssey released the first mallet putters molded entirely from a lightweight, soft, and resilient elastomer called Stronomic. Two years after its introduction, the Stronomic putter earned its first Tour win and quickly garnered wide acceptance among pros. By 1995, Odyssey had claimed 26 first-place victories across the six major tours, and by 1996 had claimed its first Masters win. In subsequent years, Odyssey unveiled the Tri-Force line, which offers a unique tri-sole design that squares the setup at address; the White Hot, with a patented insert that proves softer and more responsive than the Stronomic; and the White Steel, which combines a precision-milled, stainless-steel insert and an improved White Hot urethane insert to produce more precision and accuracy than ever before. In 2003, Odyssey neared a staggering 50 percent market share within the putter business, and has continued to profoundly influence the market ever since.
Tour professionals have every element of their putters customized to their exacting preferences. The shape, insert, headweight and shaft merge flawlessly to fit their needs. Now, for the first time, every golfer can have a putter that features all those design elements. The unique weight ports in the sole allow our engineers to precisely control the putterhead's weight so it can be optimized with the specific shaft length for impeccable consistency, control and performance. Each putter uses the new White Hot Tour insert that features a firmer feel for the feedback and responsiveness accomplished players seek. The Tour preferred bronze finish helps reduce glare for better visibility acuity.
