Odyssey Big T putters aim to make alignment even easier
Odyssey’s Big T putters put a new a twist on the company’s popular Versa alignment system, with four new models that aim to make alignment even easier for golfers.
[quote_box_center]“It’s almost foolproof at how easy it is to see whether you’re square to your target or not,” says Austie Rollinson, Principal Designer for Odyssey.[/quote_box_center]
The foolproof part, according to Rollinson, is the combination of thick perpendicular and parallel lines that intersect to form a large “T” alignment aid on the putter. While T-shaped alignment aids are nothing new in putter design, Odyssey’s decision to display the alignment system so boldly with alternating black and white lines is visually unique.
The idea was inspired by a trip Rollinson and Odyssey’s Global Director of Product Strategy Chris Koske took to Japan, they said. While visiting the Odyssey Tour Department in Japan, they saw an Odyssey Versa V-Line putter that the team had customized for a tour player with a milled perpendicular line that was thicker than the team generally used. Both Koske and Rollinson were intrigued by the look, and the next day Rollinson sketched the first Big T prototype.
The Big T putters are an extension of the company’s new Works line (click here to read about them), and use the same insert as the Works putters, Odyssey’s Fusion RX. It’s designed to feel like the company’s famed White Hot insert, but perform better due to a metal mesh covering that improves friction at impact for an improved roll.
The Big T putters also have black powder-coated shafts that limit glare and have been popular with PGA Tour players in recent years, and are available with SuperStroke grips.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

YET AGAIN ONLY HALF OF THE INVENTORY AVAILABLE LEFT HANDED, WHY NOT ALL?????

Because there are proportionally less left handers to sell to Why do you think ?

OMG, return of the detour! That blade is all sorts of funky looking.

In my experience, no T line will work for everyone or help aim. Everyone is different and sees differently. I am a centershafted no offset blade a few inches to the left. I cannot aim a heel shafted no offset blade consistently even with lines. But I can aim a mallet with no lines at the target. Before you buy a putter, use something that at least tells you if you can aim it correctly. It may still be too heavy, too long, or the lie angle may be incorrect, but at least you’ll aim it right. Why not, as Rickie Fowler says, get “Custom Fit.”

So the option for upcharging to a SuperStroke…
Do you get your choice on which SuperStroke to order? Because the $20 upcharge is nearly the retail price of whichever SuperStroke you might want…
I guess I am just not like most golfers; I still look at many of the big OEM’s as component-makers; whatever they have to sell me, chances are >50% that I will change it in some way. Re-grip, reshaft, bend, weight, hotmelt, etc.

I love that Odyssey is constantly coming up with new designs and tweaking some of the old ones. They seem to be “owning” the putter market the last couple years. Every time I visit a big box store seems like everyone flocks to the Odysseys more than anything else.

New designs? Nothing original here. Look at the seemore putter website and you’ll see similar putters.

Center shafted v line is new. As is the big t blade.
Scott

I wonder if the center shafted version will come in a counterbalanced version.

Great-looking heads. But I am not so sure about a black powder-coated shaft. Are you going to need a shaft cover along with a putter head cover? What is the real reason/need for something other than a chrome shaft?
GMatt
Jun 5, 2015 at 3:24 pm
A powder coat finish is extremely durable
Pete
Jun 6, 2015 at 7:46 am
I prefer the previous version of the Odyssey Works V-Line: same head but silver matte, black “T” with white line, chrome shaft – – they’re just covering all bases on personal preference for finishes.
