Odyssey Sabertooth

[thecraw]

Quite simply the best putter I have ever owned and boy have I done the rounds with putters!

Excellent feel, the easiest putter ever to line up and the shape is pleasing on the eye.

Buy one!

I'd have to agree with this review.
Although I've not used that many putters in my short golfing life, I think think the sabretooth would take some beating! Gives me loads of confidence where it matters and it looks menacing! Ideal!

I have to be the dissenting voice on this one, simply could not get on with it. Did not like the way it sat behind the ball and did not like the feel off the face. Had problems judging distance with it as well. No doubt as to the quality of the club but simply not for me.

Now the Taylormade Core Classic Fontana, that is a different matter. Really is the best putter that I have tried.

I want to try the 09 version which is going to include a 2 ball alignment aid as well

I've always had problems with the Odyssey Inserts -I just can't feel anything at all and that makes judging distances Hell on Toast!

I like the look of the Sabretooth but unless they're going to do one without an insert then it'll be staying on the shelf.

Craw, I have had my No.7 for almost 2 years and I love the feel you get off the face. I think it is the truest release I have had from a putter.

I find all Odessey putters sit closed. As a result, I can't take them seriously.

Cant get any feel from an ody???? Are you guys alive?

Nice light grip, stroke the putt and its a pleasure never a pain.

That's very interesting to read, as I tend to miss on the left side a lot. Could just be my poor alignment, of course!

Though I have not played for any length of time with odyssey putters I have with the Yes! brand, great when they are working but a nightmare when not, but then again same as any putter really.

I have to also agree with the no feel crew. I have just changed my 2 ball for a Ping i-series anser 4.
I just found it so difficult to judge the length.

Guys,

This isn't meant to sound bolshey, and I mean no disrespect to TheCraw, but now that we have these sub-forums, does the above represent a review or an opinion?

I happen to crave one of these putters and I'm very interested to read everyone's views, but should we not be attempting to provide something in rather more depth, as the other threads have? What I mean to say is that this area could, perhaps should be for the more considered long term use type of report, and this kind of interesting view, which has succeeded in producing useful responses, could rest comfortably with its feet up in the Lounge...

Just my opinion, and not meant to diminish anyone else's.

Here, here!!!

I love odyssey putters but find them a bit "flat" with the lie. The few I've had all need a good bash a few degrees upright!!! Harrington's is a few degrees up.

There you go, my opinion on the matter.

 

[Parmo]

Maybe closing the thread once the post has been made so only the orginal post/review remains?

 

[madandra]

Someone saying they fell in love with a club and why they liked it and what was different to their old club is, in my opinion a review. It doesn't need to be like war and peace to qualify. No-one is going to win the Booker Prize for something written on a web site so sometimes short and sweet hits the mark.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

From GM's point of view and having had a chat with Mike about this on Tuesday what he'd like to see are proper reviews a bit like those we had in December on the main page.

I think the idea is that forummers can then comment about the pros and cons of that product, and from GM's side I think they would look to publish one per month in the forum pages with maybe a small prize to the original author.

 

[Timberbonce]

Am i mistaken or isn't a review an opinion.

Sorry, i know this post is neither i just couldn't help it gov' it won't happen again

 

[GB72]

I think that the beauty of a review on a forum is that it invites further supporting or alternative views. I commented because I used a Sabretooth for several months but never got on with it and felt that an alternative view gives balance. I have no doubt that it is a quality club but thought I would point out why I did not get on with it.

 

[thecraw]

The beauty of freedom of speach!

I think its great that after someone reviews a product, we can discuss, either the review or the product its self.

People may be looking to buy the item reviewed and the more opinions on it the better.
How many people buy something based on one persons review of a subject, I would expect not many. You always want to discuss the pros and cons?

I have the odyssey No 7 and I love it. I absolutely exhausted the putter market when I was looking for one and all of the odysseys were brilliant. The grip, shaft, balance of the head, and feel all suited exactly what I wanted.

I have been looking to buy a No 9 for the summer when the greens slow down and I need less weight in the clubhead.

Out of all the inserts I tried the Odyssey ones where the best pleasing on the ears. It feels great with a soft ball too.
