2020 Odyssey Triple Track and Stroke Lab Black putters
Odyssey Golf is bringing Triple Track alignment from golf balls to putters with the introduction of the Stroke Lab Triple Track line for 2020. This makes some of the most alignment-friendly putters on the market even friendlier.
What is Triple Track?
In the simplest terms, Callaway Triple Track is three high-resolution parallel lines drawn onto a golf ball to help with alignment.
But in reality, it’s not that simple, because a golf ball is, let’s be very clear, a spherical object, and trying to put what appears to be three straight parallel lines on a ball isn’t as easy as just drawing the lines. If you are not looking at them from a perpendicular 90-degree angle (or close to it), then you will realize they aren’t straight.
The Triple Track lines use your eye’s Vernier Acuity: “the ability to discern a disalignment among two line segments or gratings” to help make sure you aligned properly when putting. You see, the human eye is extremely sensitive to spotting parallel lines and Callaway worked with an optometrist to prove this could be brought to golf balls, and now they are bringing it to putters.
What is Stroke Lab?
Stroke Lab putters use a method of weight distribution designed to improve the physical dynamics of the stroke. This weight distribution is achieved through Odyssey’s Stroke Lab shaft, which is a full 40 grams lighter compared to a standard steel Odyssey putter shaft. The Odyssey shaft design combines a graphite body with a steel tip, which in total weighs just 75 grams, with the majority of weight concentrated in the tip.
According to Odyssey, the addition of their new shaft and weight distribution results in “improvements in the consistency of backswing time, face-angle at impact, ball speed, and ball direction,” while “feel for the putter head becomes more acute.” What this means is—you have the opportunity to sink more putts.
If there is one more thing Odyssey knows about putters, it’s roll and inserts. The Triple Track putters will all utilize the popular Microhinge Star insert to increase the sound for better player feedback. The Microhinge Star insert improves the correlation between the sound and expected distance a player will hit the ball—firmer means further. This is just another step in the design process put in place to help players of all abilities putt with greater consistency.
Let’s Put this Together
In what Sean Toulon called “a 30-second prototyping” experiment using an Odyssey 2-ball putter, a ruler, and a few Sharpie markers, Triple Track putters were born. They’re not claiming rocket science here—but Triple Track is scientifically proven.
By bringing Triple Track Alignment from the ball to the top of the putter, Odyssey has brought the same Vernier Acuity to getting not just the ball (if you are using one with Triple Track alignment) but your putter lined up better too. Figuring out ways to get golfers to line up and aim properly is not new, in fact every putter maker has tried almost anything and everything to help golfers putt better—that’s a good thing.
Since everyone uses different parts of the putter to get properly aligned depending on a lot of factors including eye dominance, Triple Track combined with proven putter shapes including the 2-Ball, 2-Ball Blade, the Ten Model, Double Wide, and Marxman, allow golfers of putter style preference to find a shape.
Odyssey Stroke Lab Black
On top of the new Stroke Lab Triple Track, Odyssey is expanding the popular Stroke Lab Black series with additional models including the One, Seven, Rossie, R-Line Arrow, and Double Wide.
Pricing and Availability
Both the Triple Track and Stroke Lab Black putters will be available at Retail Stores and online starting January 30.
Pricing varies depending on the model with the Triple Track starting at $249.99, and Stroke Lab Black models starting at $299

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
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.”

I think players trying to line up the ball then line up the putter to the ball precisely could be a pace of play nightmare.Just a thought.

King Gillette would approve, this is the razor and blade model!

Having hackers take 5 minutes to make sure their ball and putter are perfectly aligned should do wonders for the pace of play.

Putters designed to sell a lot of balls.
Fine, but might I suggest three things? First, please put the triple-track on the Chromesoft, not just the Chromesoft and the ERC.
Second, create a stand-alone putter with this alignment aid. This would allow the player to stand behind the putter and ball, examining the line stereoscopically. Line–>Ball–>Putter. I own a Bloodline putter and it’s amazing.
Third, how about a center-shafted putter choice? These seem to be disappearing in general, but I sure prefer them.

It’s like DLC for your golf balls. Airpods to your iPhone, etc. If you can’t line it up with these, you’re helpless.
