Refined through extensive feedback from PGA Tour players, the Odyssey White Ice Dart putter elevates your putting to new levels of consistency.
The putter includes a multilayer White Ice insert that generates better resiliency and more control. |
The putter head design features Odyssey's innovative DART alignment. Short for Direction and Realignment Technology, DART alignment is based on extensive research into eye-brain relationships, including the Gestalt Effect, which observes the form-generating capability of the senses. The DART design works via a two-step process. The eyes align to the target using the straight lines on top of the putter head. The mind's eye then completes the process by placing the apex of the DART feature at the center of the ball. This ensures that the face of the putter is in line with the target, thus promoting consistent contact with the center of the face and encouraging greater distance control.
Odyssey added its multilayer White Ice insert, which has been fine-tuned to increase sound, responsiveness, and resiliency. The insert's inner core is 19 percent firmer and 92 percent stiffer than other inserts, leading to better resiliency and a more consistent distance control. In addition, the face surface has been roughened to enhance the sound at impact with softer golf balls. This rough texture also helps increase friction between the ball and the insert to promote forward roll.
In White Ice core models, Odyssey incorporated Tour-tuned weight ports within the sole. These ports optimize the putter head and shaft length, creating an ideal balance that maximizes feel, control, and accuracy. The head weight checks in at 11.99 ounces on 35-inch putters and 12.52 ounces on 33- and 34-inch putters, helping precisely tune the performance and feel. To top it off, Odyssey gave White Ice putters a dark nickel finish for a rich, premium look. The clubs' Tour-proven looks combine with a Tour-inspired feel to create Tour-level confidence every time you step on the green.

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.
“The original 2-Ball putter was the first to use the golf ball as an alignment aid. D.A.R.T. is the next generation of advanced accuracy, allowing golfers to clearly see if they are aiming on the correct line, as well as if they are lined up with the ball. This ensures proper alignment and consistent distance control.” — Austie Rollinson, Odyssey Principal Designer. 2-step process in which the eyes align the putter to the target and then can re-align using the point at which the D.A.R.T. design merges with the center of the golf ball. Ensures better alignment on the target line. Multi-layer insert has been fine-tuned to enhance sound, responsiveness, resiliency and consistency. Inner core is 19.6% firmer to enhance the feel and 92% stiffer for better resiliency, leading to consistent distance control. Allows optimization with three interchangeable options to dial in the perfect feel. Increases stability through the stroke for better accuracy.
