Pros
Combines outstanding feel with striking design for better stability and a lower CG for better roll.
What we say...
The upgraded i-models feature the same Black Series multi-material construction of a carbon steel body and heavier tungsten flange, but adds in a new tour insert with multiple layers for the best possible feel and responsiveness.
There can be no better proof of their success with their insert tweak than winning our blindfold test with a very impressive 26/30 points, out-performing all the other 31 putters on test. This putter isn’t just the ultimate softie, it combines this outstanding feel with its striking design and construction which throws the weight to the back wings for not just better stability but also a lower CG for better roll.
What we also love about the Black Series i is the very classy nickel-plated finish and understated black and white styling from the putter right through to the grip and headcover. These are Odyssey’s premium putters and you can also get them in a traditional blade (#1) or half-mallet design (#9).
Modified mallet with weighted alignment wings, a double-bend shaft and full-shaft offset.

Odyssey Black Series-i # 7 Putter
Strengths: Easy alignment Great looking when behind the ball Weaknesses: Terrible headcover I’ve been playing the Odyssey Black Series-i # 7 Putter for 3 months now and thus far I have been very impressed, however most of these rounds have been played on winter greens, so the results could be unrepresentative. The putter has an unusual design, which could be classified as an elongated divot tool! Personally I like the unusual head-shape, especially as it acts as a weight distributor and a decent ball scoop. These tungsten steel ‘fangs’ lower the centre of gravity and produce a higher MOI which keeps the putter stable on impact. The face is equipped with a tour insert which adds feel and should boost performance. I have been pleased with the roll produced; it seems to be pure and not ‘bobbly’ like some other putters. Although this putter doesn’t have the roll of a Yes! C Groove, it still is by no means poor at what it does. Personally I think putters are all about individual choice. I have found the club to produce optimal results, and the same feel off the face every shot. Overall I’m pleased, apart from the dodgy headcover – for some reason the inside is made out of wool, which gets caked in mud!
