About this Review: This review is my honest opinion of the putter, which I purchased with my own money in December of 2021.

My take

The Odyssey Triple Track Ten Putter is perfect for golfers with a straight-back-and-through putting stroke. This putter also has the added benefit of perimeter weighting for added forgiveness and the Triple Track for alignment.

How it performs

What I was looking for

I was looking to test a mallet-shaped, face-balanced putter that had perimeter weighting. I also wanted to test an Odyssey putter because they are extremely popular, and I have never owned one before.

Why I chose this club

I bought this putter because I got a discount on it from a local golf shop. I also chose this because it is a face-balanced putter with an amazing alignment system. Furthermore, the added weight in the perimeter of the putter is helpful for forgiveness on off-centered strikes.

What I love about it

• Face Feel: This putter has Odyssey’s new Microhinge Star Insert, which offers a firmer feel. This is a feel that many professionals and top amateurs requested from Odyssey to create while still offering the smooth response and feel that a face insert provides. Furthermore, the Microhinge helps get the ball to spin effectively off the face to produce a more consistent roll and path.
• Forgiveness: The perimeter weighting of this putter is great for forgiveness. The weight being pulled away from the face of the putter creates a deeper center of gravity. A center of gravity further from the clubface generates more forgiveness on off-center strikes and a larger sweet spot to help strike putts straighter.
• Weight: This putter is mid-heavy due to the mallet head shape and added perimeter weight. I personally like a heavier-weight putter because it allows me to keep the same stroke on both slow and fast greens but just change the stroke length. With a lighter-weight putter, one has to increase the speed and force oneself to hit the putt on slow greens.
• Alignment: The Triple Track Technology is very helpful for lining up putts. It features three lines that run down the putter to help add alignment and works well for players who use Callaway’s Triple Track Golf Balls. Additionally, the larger mallet head has always been easier for me to see if I set up the putter a little closed or open in relation to my target line, which is helpful for starting the ball on the right line.
• Customization: The Odyssey Triple Track Ten Putter comes in both right and left hand as well as a standard or oversize grip and three different shaft lengths: 33”, 34”, and 35”.

Issues I’ve encountered

• Length: I have this putter with a 35” shaft. I personally wish I had bought the 34” length instead because I feel more in control of the clubface and putting stroke with a shorter shaft.
• Aesthetic Appeal: I am not a fan of mallet putter designs and prefer a smaller-blade, traditional putter design. I also think this putter is a lesser copy of the TaylorMade Spider X, which is a much better-looking mallet putter, in my opinion. I do not personally use a Triple Track Alignment ball, so I would have preferred a standard alignment line.
• Grip Feel: The stock grip feels good on this putter; however, I felt it was a little too big. Similar to shaft length, I like a smaller grip size on my putter because I can control the face and stroke much better, so I ended up regripping this putter with a Ping Pistol grip.
• Balance: The Triple Track Ten is a face-balanced putter, meaning the face will not open in the back swing of one’s putting stroke. This keeps the face square throughout the entire putting stroke. Many players with a straight-back-and-through stroke will greatly benefit from a face-balanced putter. However, I have a little arc in my stroke, which works better with a toe-hang balanced putter.

Best Putt or Round with this Putter

The best round I had with this putter was a nine-hole afternoon round I played with a few friends. I shot 33, which was three under. I hit seven of the nine greens in regulation and was able to go up and down and save par on the two greens I missed. I also made three of the birdie putts I had, leading to five one-putts and a total of 13 putts in my nine holes.

Value for the money vs. other options

Similar putters on the market are the TaylorMade Spider X, Scotty Cameron Phantom X 7, and the Wilson Buckingham Infinite, which retail for varying price points—some more, some less than this Odyssey model. The Wilson is clearly the best price but not nearly as high quality, feel-, or performance-oriented. As a result, I would say the TaylorMade Spider X is the best-value mallet putter on the market, but the Wilson is great for golfers looking for a similar design on a budget.

Final verdict

The Odyssey Triple Track Ten Putter is a great option for players with a straight-back- and-through putting stroke. It features perimeter weighting for added forgiveness and the Triple Track lines for help with alignment.
