Odyssey Backstryke Sabertooth Putter

Product Description
“Relentless innovation and exploration are vital to making  putters that revolutionize the game. It’s with a rebellious and  independent flair for design and a dedication to the science of  putting that allowed us to develop Backstryke. It’s just the  latest example of Odyssey continuing to give golfers cutting  edge putters that help put the ball in the hole more often.” —  Austie Rollinson, Odyssey Principal Designer. By being balanced  on the axis of the putting stroke, it promotes a fluid, stable  path that’s more consistent, accurate and controlled. Hands  forward position without de-lofting promotes an upward stroke  into the ball, imparting topspin faster to generate true roll.  Shaft position helps create a stable, straight line with the  leading arm. Allows golfers to clearly see if the face is square  to the target line without the shaft impeding the line of sight.  Provides an unprecedented visual aid in lining up putts for  precision accuracy.

Editorial Reviews

Odyssey believes that relentless innovation and exploration are  vital in putter technology. Enter the Odyssey Backstryke  Sabertooth putter, which includes a number of cutting-edge  advancements to bring a golfer's putting game to new heights.

Using a hands-forward position with the Backstryke Sabertooth  promotes a better roll and ideal topspin.
All Backstryke putters share several technological details. The  putter's visible face alignment, for instance, allows you to  clearly see if the face of the putter is square to the target  line without the shaft impeding your line of sight. This  provides an unprecedented visual aid in lining up putts to the  target line for precision and accuracy. Odyssey also added a  technology called forward press visualization, which promotes an  upward stroke into the ball when you use a hands-forward  position. This ascending stroke imparts faster topspin and  generates a truer roll. The shaft position also helps create a  stable, straight line with your leading arm, so your wrists are  less likely to break down during the stroke. In addition, the  position of your hands encourages a longer and lower follow- through for better consistency.

As with many Odyssey putters, the Backstryke Sabertooth includes  a White Ice insert. The multilayer insert has been fine-tuned to  enhance sound, responsiveness, resilience, and consistency. The  inner core is 19.6 percent firmer to enhance the feel and 92  percent stiffer for better resiliency. The face surface has also  been roughened to enhance the sound at impact with softer golf  balls; this rough texture helps increase friction between the  ball and the insert to promote forward roll. Finally, the shaft  is stroke balanced on the axis, which promotes a fluid, stable  stroke path that's consistent and accurate while leading to  better distance control.

The Backstryke Sabertooth is polished off with radical alignment  mallet head with weighted fangs.

About Odyssey Putters
An Odyssey putter is a promise made. Odyssey designs each of its  putters to help golfers to slay more demons and sink more putts.  But the company also designs them to withstand any kind of  punishment, and then backs them up with an Odyssey assurance of  quality. Odyssey rarely sees a putter returned, but if you find  a defect within a two-year period, the company will repair or  replace it no questions asked. And that's a promise kept.

About Odyssey
Odyssey believes you can overcome a ton of adversity on the golf  course--including nasty rough and deep sand traps--but that you  live or die on the green. That's why the company has created  some of the industry's most innovative putters over the years.  In 1991, Odyssey released the first mallet putters molded  entirely from a lightweight, soft, and resilient elastomer  called Stronomic. Two years after its introduction, the  Stronomic putter earned its first Tour win and quickly garnered  wide acceptance among pros. By 1995, Odyssey had claimed 26  first-place victories across the six major tours, and by 1996  had claimed its first Masters win. In subsequent years, Odyssey  unveiled the Tri-Force line, which offers a unique tri-sole  design that squares the setup at address; the White Hot, with a  patented insert that proves softer and more responsive than the  Stronomic; and the White Steel, which combines a precision- milled, stainless-steel insert and an improved White Hot  urethane insert to produce more precision and accuracy than ever  before. In 2003, Odyssey neared a staggering 50 percent market  share within the putter business, and has continued to  profoundly influence the market ever since.
