Technology:
The biggest innovation in the Stroke lab range is the shaft, all the technology evolves around this. The stroke lab shaft has been made 40 grams lighter, this is because they have used a new multi-material that combines a graphite body and a steel tip. Odyssey have split that 40gms moving 10g into the head via two sole weights and then added 30g to the tip at the grip end of the shaft.
Odyssey state because of the redistribution of weight you now have improved consistency in the backswing of your putting stroke, face-angle at impact, ball speed, and ball direction, when compared with tests against an Odyssey #7 putter.
The shaft is now stiffer and has a lower torque, which gives greater control of the heavier putter head. All this is topped off with Odysseys white hot microhinge face insert, that utilises dozens of microhinges embedded across the face to help promote topspin at impact for a smooth roll and distance control.
Conclusion:
I loved the way the shaft moves into your body putting you into the correct position with your head over the ball, something that I need help with, this was picked up on the Quintic putting system when I went for a lesson so any little help in that direction I am sure we can all use.
The compact head made me feel I was in control of my golf ball on the green and really inspired confidence and with the alignment lines on the putter head helping me concentrate at address. I also liked the feel of the heavier head and think the weight saving that Odyssey have produced and the redistribution between the head and the top of the shaft works perfectly.
Like all putters it comes down to feel and I loved the feel of the Turtle as soon as I picked it up and the first few putts confirmed those initial feelings. Before you make a final decision on your next putter purchase make sure you get the Stroke Lab Tuttle putter in your hands, you can thank me later!
