White Hot

The White Hot line traces back to golfpartnerusa.com's account of a 2000 introduction, when Odyssey brought out the original White Hot insert, a face material the publication describes as sharing the same material as the ball's cover, set into a skin-milled head carved from stainless steel. Our record holds two rows on this line, both under the OG designation: the White Hot OG and a variant listed as OG (Old Gangster), which share that same core recipe.

What's carried this putter through the years, according to golfpartnerusa.com, is less a string of redesigns than a reputation that never needed updating. The publication writes that since then, for 20 years, its reliability and popularity in tours have remained steadfast, continuing to accumulate numerous victories worldwide up to the present day. It also credits the putter's early pull on the game's better players, noting that swiftly, it captured the hearts of numerous golfers, including professionals. Community sentiment tracked in our files echoes that framing, with praise pointed at the putter's long-standing tour reliability and the list of victories attached to its name.

On feel, the record leans on the same source. Golfpartnerusa.com describes the White Hot insert as delivering a soft yet responsive performance, providing a comfortable feel upon impact, a satisfying sound, and a consistent ball launch and roll. Opinion gathered separately lines up with that account almost word for word, with commenters singling out the same soft-yet-responsive character, the same satisfying sound, and the same steadiness in how the ball comes off the face.

Across its two listed releases, the White Hot OG name reads as a line built on continuity rather than reinvention, its identity fixed early around the insert material and the milled steel head, and its case for staying in the bag resting on two decades of results rather than a change in construction.
