Built for elite performance, the precision-milled Odyssey Black Series #3 putter is a terrific choice for players of all skill levels. Rather than building a simple steel-milled putter, Odyssey designed the Black Series #3 using a multi-material construction that integrates a 1025 carbon steel body and a weighted tungsten flange. The result is a rare combination of beauty, technology, and performance, with a low, deep center of gravity that promotes a true roll.
The Black Series #3 putter integrates a carbon steel body and a tungsten flange. |
The secret to the putter's crisp performance is its efficient weight distribution, which is transferred from the hogged-out hosel and upper areas of the putter head to the flange. When combined with the precision-milled putter head, the tungsten flange produces an optimally balanced weight, creating a smooth stroke and amazing accuracy whether you're standing 5 or 50 feet from the cup.
The mallet putter also employs the company's Fine-Tuned Loft System, which delivers a higher launch angle that lets you easily lift the ball from its depression on the green at an optimum trajectory. As a consequence, your putts will roll incredibly smoothly from the precise point of impact. And thanks to the club's urethane dampening layer--which is located between the tungsten and carbon steel of the blade--the putter feels extremely fluid. Specific details include a face-balanced mallet with a double-end shaft and full-shaft offset, a 2-degree loft, and a 70-degree lie. The Black Series #3 putter is available with a 33-, 34-, 35-, or 36-inch shaft.

About Odyssey Putters An Odyssey putter is a promise made. Odyssey designs each of its putters to help golfers to slay more demons and sink more putts. But the company also designs them to withstand any kind of punishment, and then backs them up with an Odyssey assurance of quality. Odyssey rarely sees a putter returned, but if you find a defect within a two-year period, the company will repair or replace it no questions asked. And that's a promise kept.
About Odyssey Odyssey believes you can overcome a ton of adversity on the golf course--including nasty rough and deep sand traps--but that you live or die on the green. That's why the company has created some of the industry's most innovative putters over the years. In 1991, Odyssey released the first mallet putters molded entirely from a lightweight, soft, and resilient elastomer called Stronomic. Two years after its introduction, the Stronomic putter earned its first Tour win and quickly garnered wide acceptance among pros. By 1995, Odyssey had claimed 26 first-place victories across the six major tours, and by 1996 had claimed its first Masters win. In subsequent years, Odyssey unveiled the Tri-Force line, which offers a unique tri-sole design that squares the setup at address; the White Hot, with a patented insert that proves softer and more responsive than the Stronomic; and the White Steel, which combines a precision-milled, stainless-steel insert and an improved White Hot urethane insert to produce more precision and accuracy than ever before. In 2003, Odyssey neared a staggering 50 percent market share within the putter business, and has continued to profoundly influence the market ever since.
