I converted my Odyssey 2-Ball into a Zero Torque putter

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been reacting to a DIY putter conversion. WRXer ‘505’ has turned his Odyssey 2-Ball flatstick into a Zero Torque putter all on his own, and laid out the steps involved as follows:

“1. Cut off hosel with dremel.

2. Find exact CG location. I was able to look this up online, but also verified using a butter knife and balancing the head on it on both axis.

3. Set drill press table to 70 degrees and drill all the way through with 1/4″ bit. Then 3/8″ just through the top disc. Flip over and 3/8″ through the sole.

4. Tap the inside of some 5/16″ OD SS tubing with 1/4-20 tap. Cut off a 1″ piece of it at 70 degrees. This is the new spud hosel.

5. 1/4-20 socket head cap screw up from the sole through the top and into the spud.

6. Epoxy all of it generously.

6. Shaft.

7. Grip.

8. Profit?”

Asked how the putter now performs, ‘505’ said:

“Fantastic overall. Head is a little light (316 grams before the conversion, 322 after), but it rolls and feels stellar. Definitely nailed the CG location correctly and it spins freely, so I’m going to have to be careful with the lead placement to not mess that up. Will test it in a revealer soon.”

    They make that exact model in center shaft.
    There’s a pro that continues to use one for the last few decades. I can’t remember the name

    Well I have some serious questions about the photographs in about how you were able to balance the head considering in the photograph there’s no attachment point where the original Shaft went into the head. Which leads me to believe there is some photoshopping down in some details left out.

    Very interested in doing something like this. I like my putter lie about 78 degrees and I have successfully heated and bent a double bend to meet my needs. I might try your method to build a ZT at 78. Thanks for the info on how you accomplished this.

    I’ve used a center-shafted putter since the 60s. They’ve been very hard to find. My latest, a Cleveland I found in the bargain bin for $35 about ten years ago. It’s interesting that they have been reborn under the new name of zero-torque. I’m happy they are back.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
