THE FIVE MODELS

67% of golfers aim the putter better with a Versa putter.

73% of golfers are more consistent with their face angle at impact.

contrasting black and white portions in Versa really help golfers who focus on lining up the putter face.

Williams adds: “As soon as we signed Phil Kenyon as an ambassador he almost immediately asked us to bring back Versa because for some players that he works with, whether they’re tour players or average golfers, it’s the best alignment system period. It doesn’t matter what else we’ve brought out we can’t beat it for certain players.”

Sean Toulon, General Manager of Odyssey Golf, explains: “When you use a Versa putter, and the putter is misaligned by only a degree or two, it’s really obvious. It’s great for players, but especially coaches as it’s so easy to see when the putter is aimed incorrectly.” mallet built for forgiveness and ease of use. It’s available in face-balanced and slant-neck options.

Odyssey has focused on five key head designs that complement Versa technology. These aren’t just the same as the original Versa putters, they are the first Versa models to feature the White Hot insert. They also come standard with a Stroke Lab shaft and adjustable weighting. All models retail for £279.

Three T is a modern small mallet, featuring a slant neck for golfers with an arc stroke.

Twelve is a new head design inspired by the Seven with a filled central section.

This is the one model that uses the Versa 90 perpendicular alignment. It’s available in face-balanced, centre-shafted, and slant-neck options.

Removing the lines from the putter, and creating a different visual, can be really powerful for certain players. Odyssey Golf changed the game when they created the Versa. I see the Versa style so beneficial for lots of players.

Versa is going to help a lot of people. Alignment is so important. A lot of people automatically think that by adding lines to a putter it’s going to help them in their alignment. Often it can make it worse.

The Versa range adds an extra dimension to any fitting for me now because we’ve got this perpendicular feature. The high-contrast band, when you put that putter down for a lot of people that is going to stand out more in this axis rather than when you’ve got additional sight lines. A lot of people naturally square the putter better when they’re using more of a perpendicular reference, whether you’re using a line on the ball or a blank golf ball.

I’ll see a lot of players who would have a left-aim bias. As soon as they use Versa itcan correct that bias, so it can dial in alignment quickly. It’s a great option obviously you’ve got different head shapes but the common feature is this high contrast Black and White Band because with this, for many players it’s a lot easier to align than a line or a dot. I notice it with a hell of a lot of players on tour. I know myself, I’ll align poorly, but when I use a Versa my alignment improves.” gains in distance with added forgiveness.

These award-winning clubs were recently put through their paces in Today’s Golfer’s ‘Most Forgiving Golf Irons 2023: Best for High Handicaps’ testing, and ranked number one in distance dropoff, reaffirming the forgiving nature of these clubs.

The reviewer said: “Eleven produced masses of spin and height; exactly what slow speed players need to hit irons effectively. For our pro that meant it produced the shortest carry distance of our test, but that wouldn’t be the case at slower speeds. Throw into the mix the model offering up the smallest ball speed difference between on and off-centre hits, the smallest carry distance dropoff (nine yards) and hitting shots into our smallest dispersion area (184.5 square yards), and the idea warrants serious investigation if it fits your game.”

Eleven Golf Hybrids are available 5-PW in regular and senior graphite shafts from £420 for the set, and as individual clubs from £75 per club. To place your order now, visit www.elevengolf.com.

Take Your Game To New Heights With Eleven Golf Hybrids

Hybrids have long been widely available as a replacement for hard-to-hit long irons, but Eleven Golf has taken the revolutionary step of replacing the whole iron set of irons with hybrids.

Eleven Golf’s inception was brought about with one goal in mind – to provide the best game improvement iron in golf.

While hybrid irons aren’t for everyone, Eleven Golf firmly believe that if your game needs improvement, and your swing speed is slipping away, these are the irons for you. They offer the benefits of having higher launch angle, higher peak height, a steeper descent with a softer landing, resulting in tangible

Kbs Swings Into Graphite Putter Shaft Market

Graphite putter shafts have blown up over the last few years. Odyssey players on tour have made the Stroke Lab shaft a staple that is seen week in week out on tours worldwide, while the BGT Stability and LA Golf putter shafts have also become sought-after options.

The KBS GPS is a low-torque shaft designed to minimise the deflection produced by traditional steel putter shafts on longer putts. Kim Braly, Director of R&D at KBS, explains the idea behind the new shaft. “The GPS is stiff without adding increased weight as graphite putter shafts can help the face from turning when a putt is struck toward the heel or toe. That will increase any putter’s moment of inertia making putting more controlled on miss-hits.”

The shafts are available in eight colours through KBS’s Custom Plus department and will retail for around £140. For more details, visit www.kbsshafts.com.

As with the original model, the S-Three features a moulded midsole which offers three distinct zones of softness. The heel is engineered for medium softness to ensure the right amount of cushioning and comfort, while the central part has higher levels of rigidity to enhance lateral stability throughout the swing, while the forefoot section is the softest of the three zones for increased walking comfort.

The shoe’s uppers are made from thicker leather which are fully waterproof and feature breathable GORE-TEX technology that keeps feet dry and comfortable in all conditions. A double layer of neoprene in the collar and heel provides increased padding, while the midsole features an internal reinforcement system that connects the midsole to the lace section of the shoe to provide extra stability. The outsole features more than 100 traction bars and 800 traction angles for excellent grip in all playing conditions.

With an RRP of £180, the S-Three will be available in 13 colours across the men’s and women’s collections. Both feature the BOA Fit lacing options.
