Re: Why is the Odyssey putter not the meter speed it is sold as?

  I can say the meter speed is faster than should be, but the putter itself is very good. I think anyone who has the Rossa would love this putter. I find it deadly from just about anywhere, and speed is perfectly the same as Rossa.

  Although it is a few credits. For the money you can not beat the Rossa!

  the majority of folks in this thread say there's no real difference in speed between the rossa and the odyssey & they can't all be wrong but whilst we wait on WGT replying, let's have some music.

  I'm surprised WGT hasn't chimed in. In our CC alone we had 3 of us looking into buying the Odyssey.From what has been said here we are second guessing the purchase. If as you say WGT doesn't care unless it involves profit, $75.00 for virtual putters. Seems to me there is some profit there Oh well, maybe they missed this post.

  Rented the Odyssey and purchased it later the same day.  Find the meter speed slightly slower than my trusty old Rossa which has helped my putting a little.  However the price is far too steep.

  Ok, let's narrow this down a little. When it first came out this putter was as fast as the spider putters, but after a few people complained it slowed down a little. It is still faster than shown on the diagram but it isn't too fast.

  I'd still recommend it to anyone that can afford it but it isn't a wonder tool that will knock lots of numbers from your scorecard. It suits me though.

  Rented, bought it the next day. Previously used the Rossa. I actually disliked the slower meter at first, but have gotten used to it now. Definitely slower than my Rossa. Very happy with it, except for the 100ft; why not 90??? Makes no sense to me.

  dflop:

  Being a miss ding putter i purchased the 1,795 credit Odyssey , i currently use the level 66 Ghost , have tried the level 92 but the precision is to much. 

  So i looked at the specs and the level 66 Ghost was almost identical to the level 30 1,795 credit Odyssey.  Noticing the slower meter i thought beauty and purchased it. I lasted not even a week before i realised it was a scam, the Odyssey is definately faster in the meter than the Ghost.  Odyssey was a beast when i rented it hahaha !

  So after selling my old ghost for 25% of the value , and buying the new Odyssey at 1,795 credits then reselling the Odyssey at 25% , then i had to re purchase the Ghost again at 1,200 credits.  Talk about a drama and a good income for WGT under false advertisement .

  I know i should have kept my old Ghost instead of selling it , an expensive lesson but shyte happens !

  dflop !

  I miss ya Deef!
