With an extended mallet head that features perimeter-weighted rings, Hi-Def alignment, and a Stroke Balance shaft, the Backstryke Marxman putter just might change the way you think about putting.
Visible Face Alignment gives you clear sight for parallel and perpendicular alignment aids, while forward press stabilization allows a hands-forward position, without de-lofting, which promotes an upward stroke into the ball. The shaft position also helps create a stable, straight line with your leading arm, so your wrists are less likely to break down during the stroke. This type of ascending stroke imparts topsin faster, generating true roll. The position of your hands also encourages a longer and lower follow through for better consistency, while the putter is balanced on the axis of the putting stroke, which promotes a fluid, stable stroke path that is more consistent and accurate, and also leads to better distance control.
A multi-layer White Ice insert features a rough surface to enhance the sound at impact and increase friction to promote forward roll. |
A multi-layer White Ice insert has been fine tuned to enhance sound, responsiveness, resiliency, and consistency. The inner core is 19.6% firmer to enhance the feel, and 92% stiffer for better resiliency. The face surface has been roughened to enhance the sound at impact with softer golf balls, and this rough texture also helps increase friction between the ball and the insert to promote forward roll. A.R.T. (Advanced Roll Technology) multi-material construction results in the lowest and deepest center of gravity of any Odyssey putter line, giving you better, quicker and truer roll.

I got this putter a month ago and my usual golf friends have all commented about the improvement in my putting. This putter has a very soft and controllable feel and if you line it up, it will go in. It really helps having the shaft "out of the way" and inspires confidence. Get one!
Excellent!,

Just looking at this putter may make you shy away, but don't. My first impressions were "how can anyone put with that thing" until I gave it a few strokes at a Golf Galaxy head to head with my TaylorMade Rossa Daytona, and was amazed at both the feel and stability of this putter. The weight is great, it helps me keep my hands forward, and it just seems be much easier to swing straight bacck/straight through.
Putters are so personal, and everyone likes something different though. My advice however is to at least give this one a try. Don't ignore this one simply based on it's looks, it may very well suprise you.
This is my 3rd putter, and it hasn't come out of my bag the entire last season. I bring them all out for a putter competition every frew months, and this one just stays at the top of the list for feel, accuracy, and distance control. Other putters I have include a Nike IC Mallet style and a Taylormade Rossa Daytona, neither of which are any slouches...Read more

This review is from: Odyssey Backstryke Marxman Putter (Sports)
I've been playing golf for about 20 years and one of my biggest strengths has always been putting, that is until the last year or so. I've always been a fan of a heavier putter and I had good luck with the mallet style "CARBITE" brand, but after 10 years or so, the ball just didn't seem to come off the face the same. I switched to a Nike Unitized Neo Putter. It had the best feel at the time and I did "ok" with it. Well, I was in a golf tournament a couple of weeks ago (Captains choice) and one of the people in our foursome had this weird looking putter, a two-ball backstryke. He said that his Pro friend in Florida switched over to it and swore by it, so he bought one. Needless to say, he made a majority of the putts and all of the putts outside 15 feet. I tried his a couple of times and really loved the feel of it. I went to our local pro shop and tried out the two-ball again and the Marxman. The Marxman just seemed to have a little better feel and set-up for me. I prefer to...Read more
