(3) Testers Wanted: Odyssey O-Works Putters

One thing I’ve always wondered is just what does the O in Odyssey’s O-Works putter line stand for. Is it O for Odyssey or is it O for “O wow, the putter face has hinges?”

In either case, Odyssey’s O-Works putters are just the latest in Odyssey’s long line of top-selling flat sticks. In fact, the #7 copped 4th place in MyGolfSpy’s 2017 Most Wanted Mallet testing.

And just last week, Odyssey announced the O-Works Red and Black series selected O-Works putters being released in, you guessed it, red and black.

TESTERS WANTED:

Whether you like your O-Works in black and white or red all over, Odyssey is convinced they have a putter that’ll work for you. They’re also sure the unique Microhinge Insert Technology that’s co-molded into Odyssey’s Thermoplastic Elastomer Feel Layer will help you roll the biscuit into the basket, and make you feel good doing it.

Does this tech really work? Do color schemes help you put better? MyGolfSpy is looking for three avid golfers to test, review and keep an O-Works putter of your choice and let the golfing world know what you think.

HOW TO APPLY:

As you know, MyGolfSpy takes its product testing very seriously. All of our reader reviews are published in our Community Forum (click here to check them out). We expect a lot from our reviewers – writing a thorough, detailed and honest review is a full two-month commitment, requiring extensive range and on-course work as well as participation in the Forum itself to answer questions and discuss product performance with other golfers.

That means to be a potential reviewer you must be a registered member of the MyGolfSpy Community Forum, where you’ll find thousands of like-minded golfers from all over the world anxious to talk about golf equipment.

To apply to test, review and keep an Odyssey O-Works putter, here's what you have to do:

- First, if you haven't already, please sign up for the MyGolfSpy Community Forum (click here to register).

- Second, apply ONLY in the Odyssey O-Works Putter Test/Review Application Thread in the MyGolfSpy Community Forum (click here).

We'll announce the testers in the Community Forum next week.

Q&A With Dean Snell

Dean Snell wants to answer your questions.

It's hard to believe 2 years have passed Snell Golf took all of us by surprise when the company's My Tour Ball dominated our Direct To Consumer golf ball test. Your tremendous response to that review has not only helped drive the growth of the Snell brand, I believe it has changed the ball market for the long haul, and for the better.

That test proved that you can get a tour-quality golf ball for less than $35 a dozen and a growing number of consumers have come to realize as much. It's having an impact on the OEMs as well. Callaway and Srixon launched their current flagship balls for less than $40 a dozen, and Titleist - in addition to offering a buy 3 get 1 free promotion shortly after the launch of the 2017 Pro V1 - is restocking store shelves with Prior Generation Pro V1s at discount prices ($39.99).

When prices can be cut so easily, it makes you wonder what you're actually paying for and how much difference there actually is between tour-quality balls.

Ask Dean Snell

We've gotten to know Dean Snell a little bit over the last couple of years. One thing I can tell you about Dean is that he's as much of a straight-shooter as anyone you'll find in the golf equipment industry. Dean also shares our commitment to doing right by the consumer. In the case of Snell Golf, that means offering a quality product at a consumer-friendly price. It also means doing his part to educate the consumer and helping to cut through some of the BS that permeates the golf ball market.

Wouldn't it be nice to know what's real and what's mythology?

Ask Your Questions in the Comments Section

If you have a question about Snell Golf, its golf balls, or golf balls in general, post them in the comment section below. In a couple of weeks, we'll post another video wherein Dean answer your questions.
