 Right, we are out on the course with some real testing, real greens out of Conway Golf Club and certainly real conditions as you can see from this flag to my left it's blowing a bit of a breeze here on the links at Conway Golf Club. We're going to be looking at two putters from Odyssey. There's a range I think there's seven different versions that you can get in this putter but there's something quite a bit different going on with the shaft at least that's what Odyssey claims and that's what we're going to start with an explanation of why this shaft might help you put just a little bit better than you do currently. Okay so the major difference in this golf club first of all the weight of the club or the shaft rather it's 40 grams lighter than the shaft that's been in previous Odyssey models and it's also made of two different materials so the dark bit that you can see and I'll throw some close-ups for you now that's a graphite element of the shaft and then the bottom half or the bottom third is a steel tip and it's the weight in which the weight is distributed throughout the shaft that Odyssey claim or make the difference in your putting style and they reckon potentially improve your technique but it's a 20% better result so I'll explain in that one. So the idea is simple really. We've kind of seen it before I think in counter balance putters where we've seen all the weight put in the butt end of the club but what Odyssey have done is spread this weight distribution throughout the shaft and the claim is how it'll improve things is it'll improve consistency in terms of length of backswing length of follow-through delivering the clubface at a more consistent square angle. I'm using a new golf ball here which we'll have a look at a bit closer look at a bit later on a triple track which also helps with alignment that's a different video oh we've all the good in there that's going to help stroke labs claims at least um it's got again it's got great feeling in terms of the putter head but the story itself is all like I said about the balance which is within this shaft and I'm going to use it a few more times around Conway golf club and I'll give you my opinion on whether or not it's getting any more consistency for me but as you know that's going to be a real tough one to measure so the stroke lab putter from Odyssey what would be my assessment well it's as you know it's impossible to gauge as it improved the consistency of my swing the delivery of the clubface absolutely no idea impossible for me to measure Odyssey themselves have said that I think there's three wins on tour already I don't want to hear Danny will it's comeback win was with one of these putters so they're no doubt happy with that claim for me it was an interesting one if you notice for the majority of the video I used a mallet style putter the blade putter they're not for me I struggle with them so I um continue with most of the video like I said with this mallet style I have to say when I first started using it and I've used it previous on on a couple of games that I played at Heswell as well I found it a little bit strange because it is different the weighting is different I don't know how I couldn't quantify it and I couldn't explain it but it is a different feel to it and like I said I've no idea um there's a there's a momentum to the swing um and it changes and it was a bit different and as I say I didn't like it at first it goes fast to say I've been playing it for two or three rounds and in particular today here at Conway I've got a lot more used to it and I can certainly see that it's different the weight you can feel it you need to try this yourself because it is different is it good difference or bad difference I'm not too sure to be honest again I'd have to carry on playing with this for quite some time what I would say is what you'd expect from a putter in terms of feel and all the other kind of things it's very very good indeed and I've putted really well in terms of consistency here at Conway if you noticed every occasion I put three balls down just to see if I could replicate a swing in other words am I able to prove I suppose a little bit of what Odyssey are claiming and like I said to a certain degree I putted really well with it would I have putted just the same with my own putter that I currently use who knows maybe that would have been the case as well maybe that should have been the video I should have had my putter alongside it as well but for my mind there's a couple of things that you need to bear in mind these putters again are in around 240 to 270 british pounds so it's once again it's really top end in terms of the price I always say it's up to you in terms of how you spend your money give them a go it is some a difference I can't quantify it I'm afraid all I can say putter performs well enough it's good enough it's manufactured as you would expect it to be to a high level from Odyssey but whether or not it's going to improve you putting by 20% I think that's a tough one for them to make and a bold claim so I'll let you on decide if if that's the case or not anyway as ever thank you for watching comments down below I'll do my best to reply and I'm going to carry on because we've got a few more on course tests to do this morning at Conway golf club and I've got to say thanks to Conway golf club and what fantastic condition this course has been in this morning
