After you've got used to the claw shaped head, the Odyssey Metal X 7 becomes a
thing of simplistic beauty.
Everything about the look behind the ball seems right. All the lines you can see
(and there are a lot of them) are either parallel or perpendicular to the putter
face and this gives you a great sense of confidence in the way you've positioned
the putter.
The good news doesn't end there... what's amazing about this putter is just how
square it seems to sit every time you address a ball. It seems almost impossible
to put the putter on the ground closed or open, the large flat sole of the
putter simply rights the aim unerringly to a square position. This boosts
confidence, too.

The only slight negative I found was that at some angles, the sun reflected off
the insert and did produce some glare, but in general the putter
looks just right behind the ball.
How does the Odyssey Metal X 7 feel?
There's no doubt that
Odyssey knows how to produce world-beating
insert putters,
and this is no exception.
Although the insert is different from most of those on Odyssey's other ranges,
and features tiny metallic grooves in the face, I did not feel and difference
between this and a
white
hot putter, for instance.
How does it roll the ball?
The other major advantage of the Odyssey #7 shape aligning its face so squarely
is that this also gives you the very best chance of having perfect impact
conditions. The result is that the roll from the putter is
consistently fantastic!
An awesome putter which is unique in its ability to right
itself and aim perfectly square every time.
That having been said, I didn't see or feel much difference between the Odyssey
Metal X 7 and the White Hot XG version which you can find new or used at lower
prices.

Padraig Harrington used this combination of blade and 2 ball design to win majors, but what's it like?

It looks like an Anser with an odd growth at the back, so hardly attractive - but is the Backstryke Blade any good? Find out here!

Perhaps Odyssey's best effort yet to eclipse the Scotty Cameron and Ping Ansers.
