Right I thought I would contribute to the review section and here's my review on the Odyssey Tri Ball.

I bought it about 2 months ago and it's had plenty of use on fast greens, slow greens, dreadful greens etc. and has carried me through them all. It's culminated in just 3 weeks after shooting my best gross score of 86 with 39 putts before I got it with my new best of just 30 putts. My scrambling stats have skyrocketed due to the huge amount of inertia-bad putts aren't missing any more on twitchy distances and the alignment aid is fantastic helping me to find find the cup from medium and long distances alike.

Sure it may have a huge head but if this doesn't phase you and you know that your putting is in need of a helping hand this is for you. Despite the ability to stir paint with my old putting stroke the head keeps it steady and eliminates virtually all of my wrist break. The insert generates fantastic feel to your hands and the grip is another solid touch to this putter.

The price may have been steep at £129 but its the club that's most used during your round compared to spending £200 on a driver you use 12 times a round. It will be staying in my bag for a very long time.

I think if you can get the size out of your mind (which I can, I use a Ping Doc for goodness sake!) it's a very good putter. The Doc, a similar concept is pretty deadly from 10 ft and in, doesn't twist much.

One question though, do you find it difficult to find in your bag, being so large and all? I find the irons get tangled around the Doc, which annoys me.

No not on mine its fine to carry and fits in my bag without rattling the other clubs or digging into your back. Its quite light compared to the doc though which just feels like a lump of metal to me although as you say it makes it so much easier to putt with than smaller putters..

Once I get my di6 irons and the hybrid i'll show some pics on how it fits in the WITB section.

More like, do you find it difficult to find your bag, hidden under that HUUUUUUUUUGE putter head?

Can you even fit a rain cover over the bag with that in it?

To me they look that big that I'd worry that the putters own gravitational pull would knock the ball off line:twitcy:

Even though you probably said that jokingly, it is a problem that I face some times. :eekw:
