Odyssey face insert repair

[timd77]

Hi

The metal face insert thing on my o works versa 1w putter is peeling away near the toe. There’s a gap of about 1-2mm, roughly 1cm wide. Anyone have any experience of repairing them? Could I squirt glue in and press it down? I’m not sure what’s underneath so not sure if glue will ‘take’. Or is it a case of getting the insert fully out?

Cheers!

This is a bit of a thing with this range, I had one. A previous owner tried gluing it but they could not get the face fully flat and so it ended up being useless. It did stick, just not flat ?

Have a go, nothing to lose.

I’d contact Odyssey they replaced one putter in warranty and when that one went outside warranty they replaced with another putter without the stupid mesh on it.

Did they not need you to go through a pro / supplier first of all?

I went through the supplier, Silvermere.

I bought it second hand from the pro shop, sounds like I need to take it back to him, was hoping it would be a small job I could do myself!

Callaway/Odyssey are well aware of this problem so I would try that route first of all ?

and from previous threads I thought it was said that Callaway consider them to be unrepairable.

I took the insert off, cleaned everything up with wet and dry then glued it back down.

Yes, but they may offer a replacement or a voucher towards another putter.

Had it happen twice with mine. Semi fixed by my local pro both times. Got rid after the second time and bought an Evnroll with a proper etched out face.

Not looking good for a replacement/repair at the pro shop so I’ll have a go at repairing it myself. What’s wet and dry, and what sort of glue did you use?

A very thin smear of epoxy resin, been fine for the last couple of years. wet and dry is very smooth emery paper the type used on body / paint repair on cars. I used 500 grit.

Go onto eBay and type in Odyssey Putter insert. You can buy different inserts (aftermarket) which you can glue in yourself.

Contact the seller for advice.

I had one made for a previous putter. The carbon ones give an amazing sound and a different feel.

Interesting, thanks. They seem to be about £19, reasonable.

It's worth exploring. I liked the feel and sound.
