Composite Shaft

The Odyssey Composite Shaft Putter arrived in 2019, and both entries on record point to that single year as the line's introduction. The idea at the center of the release was a departure from the standard steel shaft, swapped for a composite build of carbon and steel.

golfpartnerusa.com reported that the composite shaft came in lighter than a standard steel shaft, by up to about 75g, against a reference weight of 110 to 120g for a regular putter's steel shaft. The same source described the feel as firmer than a regular shaft, allowing golfers to feel the putt through their hands for better touch, and credited the shaft with improving consistency across backswing level, face angle, tempo, and speed.

Both rows on record carry the same year and the same editorial account, describing one idea rather than a lineage that changed shape over time. The composite shaft's pitch stayed consistent: lighter in the hand, firmer in feel, aimed at tightening up the mechanics of the stroke rather than the look of the head.
