Odyssey Japan has announced a slew of new putter models to be released in January and February of next year. This year we saw the release in Japan of a new prototype tour insert in their White Hot and Black iX lineups. In January Odyssey is adding one more putter to the iX line, a Black Series 2 Ball iX putter. This 2 Ball will have the black PVD finish and the tour prototype insert shared by the #1 #7 and #9 Black iX putters. The number 9 which is the same putter used by Ryo Ishikawa has been one of the best if not the best selling putter in Japan for 2009.
Odyssey is also releasing a new Black Series Tour Design milled lineup including #2 #4 #6 and #9. This NON insert, soft milled body with tungsten flange putter will provide the firmest feel and purest roll and control of any Odyssey putter.
