First Look: Odyssey Milled Collection RSX Putters

Post image for First Look: Odyssey Milled Collection RSX Putters

Bring the Noise!

A couple of weeks ago, Odyssey released a limited number of their Highway 101 putters. Feel free to take a gander HERE if you are not up to speed on Highway 101...

Of all of the features found in the limited edition Highway 101 putters, I was the most intrigued by the sound chamber. Along with the limited edition California graphics, Odyssey drove a bit of new putter tech into the Highway 101 line. With the sound chamber, Odyssey announced that they had engineered the impact tone to influence the feel of the putter at impact.

It should be noted that this emphasis on linking the already explicit connection between sound and feel is all the rage in putter design right now. It's similar to what Toulon Design is doing, and we expect others are likely to follow suit.

The natural question that followed was, "What does the sound chamber sound like?"

Unfortunately, the limited production numbers of the Highway 101 line also limited the chances for most golfers to hear its "crisp sound".

At the time, I hoped the sound chamber would show up in a more accessible retail line, and thankfully now it has.

Our latest path in insert innovation has led us to a deeper exploration of sound and feel. That’s how we’ve come to the Milled Collection RSX, which is milled from 1025 carbon steel, with our best-selling #7 shape, a progressive V-Line Fang mallet, and the #001, a new take on our classic #1 shape.

Phil Mickelson has always told us that when he hits a 5-foot putt, he wants it to look, feel and sound like a 5-foot putt. By engineering our sound chamber technology into these putters, we’ve delivered a crisp sound at impact, which ensures great feedback that matches up perfectly with the speed and roll off the face. And we’ve coupled this with our patented Metal-X roll technology, bringing roll and sound together, as indicated by the RSX name for “roll and sound experiment”.

I'm excited about seeing and rolling the Milled Collection RSX putters for a couple of reasons. First, we get some great head shapes, including a new take on the classic #1. The #7 is an obvious choice to include, but I'm more excited to roll the V-Line Fang, my favorite new mallet from the new White Hot RX line.

Most importantly, we will all finally be able to hear what the sound chamber is all about.

More to Come

You probably have some questions about the MC RSX line. What does the sound chamber sound like? How does the tone influence feel? How does the #001 really differ from a #1? Why mill the whole thing from carbon steel and then go with stainless steel on the face? Where is the #9 that Phil would likely want to play?

These are all valid questions, and I'm sure that there are some others that need addressing. Rest assured, we will be spending more time with the Milled Collection RSX putters in the next couple of weeks, with a full Club Report coming around the time these release on July 15th.

Stay tuned...
