Odyssey has announced their 2022 putter line-up with some exciting models for the new year. This season, there are updates to the White Hot OG range as well as new Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K, Odyssey Eleven, and Toulon Putters.
The legendary White Hot putters are some of the most iconic putters played on tour and following the 2021 White Hot OG line-up, Odyssey has introduced several more models in the range for 2022. The new Odyssey Eleven putters are focused on delivering a high performance mallet and builds on the advancement of the popular Ten model. The Toulon Design putters have been developed with an obsessive attention to detail, exacting precision, and tour-proven performance, meticulously crafted to be the best milled putters in the world. Finally, the new Tri-Hot 5K putter has been developed with an audacious goal, to introduce a new blade putter construction that outperforms a mallet, in a classic shape that the best players love.
We round-up the key features of the new 2022 Odyssey putter line-up and Golfshake Equipment Expert Ryan Rastall provides an overview in this short video prior to carrying out full features reviews in the coming weeks.
White Hot OG Putters
Legendary Then, Iconic Now
The 2022 White Hot OG features several of the existing products along with new models; Double Wide, 7 CH, 7 Nano and 7 Bird. The putters boast a new pistol grip, White Hot Inserts and Stroke Lab Shafts which also include Red Stroke Lab Shaft.
Features & Benefits
- White Hot Insert - The original White Hot formulation, feel, sound and performance are all back in one exceptional two-part urethane insert.
- Milled Surface Finish - Engineers have combined a rich silver PVD finish with fine milling on key surfaces. These ultra-premium offerings are unlike anything you’ve ever seen from a White Hot, and the beautiful designs will appeal to golfers who appreciate the look of a milled putter.

Availability: 18th Feb 2022
RRP: From £199 to £239
Odyssey Eleven Putters
The Most Exciting Shape
The new Odyssey Eleven mallet putter features the White Hot insert along with the major-winning Stroke Lab shaft to improve the consistency in your stroke. This unique head shape delivers the outstanding MOI properties that you would expect from a mallet. With additional design elements they combine to deliver a more forward CG positioning that delivers the tight dispersion of a blade, for putts that stay on-line.
Features & Benefits
- New Eleven Shape - The Eleven shape advances the forgiveness and alignment properties of the major winning Ten model. It’s designed to help you properly frame the ball with the right alignment at address, along with high MOI for better accuracy.
- Red Stroke Lab Shaft - The newest generation of the multi-material Stroke Lab shaft features even better performance. With a shortened the steel section, the weight has been reduced by seven grams and the shaft stiffened to help stability for an even more consistency in your stroke.
- Forward CG & High Inertia - Using a multi-material design, they’ve moved the CG forward nearly 1⁄4 of an inch over other leading mallets while increasing inertia substantially. This creates improved performance, speed control, spin control, speed consistency on off-centre hits, and a much tighter downrange dispersion for putts that stay on-line.
- Super lightweight TPU Sole Insert - This insert helps improve the sound and feel, while adding very little weight to the center of the putter head.
- White Hot Insert - The most popular putter insert of all time is back with the original formulation, feel, sound, and performance.

Odyssey Toulon Design Putters
Performance Driven Design
The new Odyssey Toulon Design Putters are fundamentally driven to combine exceptional looks with obsessive attention to detail, exacting precision, along with tour-proven performance. With new head shapes for 2022, featuring new deep diamond groove face milling and new stunning Tour Satin Black finish. Additionally, the Toulon putters feature new split weight forward weighting configuration and the latest generation Stroke Lab shaft all focused on delivering the highest quality Odyssey milled putters which Odyssey describe as their best Toulon Design milled line ever.
Features & Benefits
- Deep Diamond Groove Mill pattern - Deep full face grooves are designed to control sound and feel by channeling vibration. The face also features a medium depth double fly cut to enhance forward roll and feel.
- Midnight Black Finish - Toulon Design is widely recognsed for its premium look and construction. The beautiful black finish is played on tours worldwide and showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of these finely milled putters.
- Stroke Lab Weighting - Innovative multi-material shaft saves 40 grams of weight, which is redistributed to the head and grip end of the putter. Stroke Lab completely rebalances the putter for improved tempo and consistency in the stroke.
- Adjustable Weighting System - Every Toulon Design putter comes with a new two split-weight design that moves the weights forward, and toward the toe and heel. The positioning improves the inertia of the head, while also improving the consistency of impact ratio and forward roll.
The weights are available in a variety of offerings - from 5 grams to 20 grams each - in 5-gram increments.

RRP: £379
Odyssey Tri-Hot 5k
Odyssey has developed the Tri-Hot 5K with the goal of changing how a putter is constructed so that they can reinvent how a putter can perform. Moving the CG positioning forward and leveraging new materials in ways that have never been realised in a putter they hope to deliver a new blade putter that outperforms a mallet with a classic shape that golfers will love.
Callaway say:
"This spectacular combination promotes improved performance in speed control, spin control, speed consistency on off centre hits and a much tighter downrange dispersion that limits off-target spin. It’s the best performing blade we’ve ever made by far, and when you’re the #1 Putter in Golf and the #1 Putter on Tour, that’s a special achievement."
Features & Benefits
- High Performance and Tight Dispersion From Stainless Steel Front - Tri-Hot 5K is built to improve performance by reducing the amount of side spin on off-centre hits through a 303 stainless steel front section that includes the hosel and face area. This material has been finish milled to exact shape and weight, helping to keep the CG forward. This keeps putts closer to the original line, with tighter dispersion, and a greater chance to go in on less-than-perfect strikes.
- Unprecedented Forgiveness For A Blade and Improved Roll From Tungsten Front Weights - Updates to tungsten weight positioning, behind the face in the toe and heel sections of the club head, allows for the CG to be moved forward which ultimately helps to improve roll, while also increasing inertia to over 5,000 IZZ.
- Interchangeable Front Weights - Available in aluminum, steel and tungsten, these removable weights allow you to dial in your head weight to your exact preference.
- Legendary White Hot insert - The most popular insert of all time is back with the original formulation, feel, sound and performance.
- Red Stroke Lab Shaft - The newest generation of the multi-material Stroke Lab shaft features even better performance. With a shortened the steel section, the weight has been reduced by seven grams and the shaft stiffened to help stability for an even more consistency in your stroke.
