ODYSSEY USE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE PERFECT PUTTERS

For many years putters had been made from stainless steel and Odyssey were one of the pioneers in producing a putter with a much softer feel. Odyssey research was expanding quickly and they were ahead of the game, in 1991 came the revolutionary insert. Odyssey had developed the first mallet shaped putter that was moulded entirely from a soft elastomer called “stronomic”. Two putter heads were made called Rossie, the Rossie 1 and Rossie 2. Two years later the putter won a tour event and quickly was accepted by touring professionals wanting to have a go. 

It wasn’t until 1994 that the public really started to take notice of Odyssey as a serious putter brand. Dual Force was the name as Odyssey had created a line of putters that had a black stronomic insert in a stainless steel designed head. They finished the putters off with a bronze coating which would soon make it a big hit on the Tour. 

My Callaway Driver History

In the late 80’s metal drivers started being produced, with Taylor Made leading the way. At the time in my opinion no metal Driver came close to the look and feel of Persimmon Drivers.

Callaway then had great success launching their Big Bertha range in the early 90’s, but it was not until  1995 that I believe technology leapt forward with the launch of the Callaway Great Big Bertha. Manufacturers had found Titanium had all the properties required to allow them to make heads bigger, easier to use and more powerful. The Callaway GBB was the first non persimmon Driver I owned and was the beginning of my love affair with Callaway Drivers. It was the first time I could ever recall advising people if you did not have one you were at a disadvantage. The RRP of the Driver was £449, so consumers had to dig deep in their pockets in order to help their golf game.
