I tried this putter while looking at several Odyssey two ball putters and what a difference! I was not even considering this club because I did not think it looked very impressive sitting on the display rack. I am glad I gave it a try. I ended up easily picking the XG #7 over my other considerations. This club has proven to be one of the easiest putters to align when on the green. I am now routinely making putts of all lengths instead of lipping out or misaligning from the start. Looking down from your stance, the putter design builds confidence and allows the eyes to see directly where you intend to stroke the ball. In addition, the face insert has a soft feel and allows for a more aggressive stroke, even on faster greens. That soft feel has helped my distance control. I highly recommend you give the putter a serious look. PS – When give a choice, Odyssey web-site recommends players use a shorter shafted putter. Statically the shorter the shaft the better the better the putting scores. I am 6' and had my 34” putter cut down to 33 ¼ inches. It has helped tremendously. The PGA pro I was talking with said “The majority of golfers purchase putters that are routinely too long for their optimal putting stroke. Something to consider! Good Luck!Read full review
The Odyssey Putter Company has produced a lot of great putters over the last decade and the XG Line of putters only adds to their sterling reputation. The XG #7 putter is the one being reviewed but all of the XG putters have the new "Dual-Insert Technology" The XG #7 looks a little odd but it's performance on the green is why it is in my bag. The Dual-insert has a nice "clicky" feel to it which I like and has helped me tremendously with my distance control..which in-turn has decreased a lot of my dreaded 3 putts. Putters are a very "FEEL" oriented club so I suggest you try this putter at a local golf store before you decide which style suites you best. I am glad I chose the #7 because I like the extra "Fangs" on the back which help me with alignment and makes it very simple to pick up the ball off the green as the ball fits perfecty in the "Fangs" Overall, I have finally found a putter that helps me lower my total putts per round and I would recommend the Odyessey XG Line to any golfer struggling with putting. It will remain in my bag for a long time. Good Luck and keep it in the Fairway!Read full review
I've only had this putter for a couple of weeks, but the touch is really nice and consistent. Even with just a few holes under my belt I was either holing it or leaving it close every time. The combination of the dots on the top and the lines running along the back really helps to get you lined up, and the weighting of it feels very well balanced. I'd definitely recommend these putters to anyone.

I"ve owned just about every putter out there; and I have to say this one is the clear winner. Its alignment aid is unsurpassed, just aim and do a pendulum stroke and its in the hole. I also like the weight of the putter, its not too heavy like the heavy putter, but they got it just right where you don't lose your feel. The first time out I sank 6 consecutive putts from about the 7 foot range; and just last week I sank a 30 footer going downhill, and it tracked the whole way. It has taken 3-4 strokes off my game. Want to lower your handicap right away, give this XG #7 a try. Oh and its great for picking up the balls too.
Great Putter. Very easy to line up put. Nice balanced feel. CON: Putter grip is softer than any other grip I have used. Is very similar to the Odyssey two ball putter I have been using for several years. Would recommend to others!
