Odyssey TRTL putters: £299 from 6 November, four hosels

Three days after the TRTL putters went on sale in Japan, the four models were the four best-selling putters in the country, Golf Digest reports. Seven weeks later Odyssey’s share of the Japanese putter market was back above 50 per cent. The same four reach British and American shops on Friday 6 November. The standard TRTL costs £299 and the larger TRTL Max S2S £329; pre-orders are open.

The head is a mid-mallet with a steel body in a black PVD finish, a green ABS shell on top and an aluminium sole, with an adjustable weight in each corner of the sole. Three of the models share the head and differ at the hosel. The fourth, the Max, is about 6 per cent bigger, and Odyssey told Golf Digest it has roughly 20 per cent more MOI. Odyssey has not published an MOI figure for any of the four.

Toe hang from 0° to 30°, and a Max that hangs toe-up

Odyssey’s US product pages give these specifications:

Model	Hosel	Toe hang	Offset	Head weight	Lie	Factory weights, front / back
TRTL DB	Double bend	0°	¾ shaft	355g	70°	5 / 15
TRTL CH	Crank	20°	Full shaft	360g	70°	2.5 / 10
TRTL S	Short slant	30°	½ shaft	355g	70°	5 / 10
TRTL Max S2S	Square 2 Square	90° (toe up)	Not listed	375g	72°	10 / 10

All four have 3° of loft, come in 33in, 34in and 35in as standard and are fitted with a black SL 120 steel shaft. Odyssey’s pages list the weights without units.

Golf Monthly matches the Double Bend to a straight-back, straight-through stroke, the S to a slight arc and the crank to more face rotation. The toe-hang figures point the other way for the last two: on the usual fitting rule (more toe hang for a stronger arc), the S, at 30°, suits a stronger arc than the crank, at 20°.

The Max S2S is the only zero-torque model in the range. Its lie is 72° rather than 70°, it weighs 20g more than the Double Bend, and it comes with a Reverse Taper 2.0 grip in place of the TRTL Pistol. Odyssey says the grip is “designed to offset the 2° of shaft lean that this Square 2 Square model comes with”.

A firmer insert than last year’s

Odyssey’s new Ai-Star insert has an aluminium inner layer behind a urethane face that is firmer than before and thinner at the heel and toe. Golf Digest reports that some players found the 2025 Ai-Dual insert “a little bit too soft”. Min Woo Lee, who has used the TRTL on the PGA TOUR, told the magazine: “It’s a bit harder than the Microhinge insert that I used to use.”

Odyssey’s research, reported by Golf Digest, puts about 87 per cent of a putt’s distance down to the speed the ball leaves the face, 7 to 8 per cent to how it rolls and the rest to launch angle. Odyssey counts any point on the face that produces ball speed within 1 per cent of a centre strike as part of the sweet spot. It has not said how big that area is. The face also carries a deeper groove at a 19° slope, which Odyssey calls its Forward Roll Design.

On tour: Nishimura and Lee

Odyssey got TRTLs into the tour vans in the first week of August, according to Golf Digest. When Yuna Nishimura won the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship in September, Callaway’s winner’s-bag release listed a “new Odyssey Prototype Putter”, as our report from that week noted. Golf Monthly now says the putter was a TRTL.

Lee moved to the Double Bend with the weights set towards the heel after a fitting with Quintic data, Golf Digest says. Luke Williams, Odyssey’s senior director of product and brand management, called the four ports “the fine dial”: the last adjustment after hosel, length, loft, lie and grip.
