2-Ball (original)

The 2000 Odyssey 2-Ball arrived with a mallet shape unlike anything else on the market at the time, built around two white circles set into the top of the head, and a face milled with the White Hot insert, which golfalot.com describes as made from a golf ball, the same urethane as the cover on Callaway's Rule 35 ball. Golfalot.com places the putter's era as circa 2000/2001 and calls it the iconic shape of the noughties, a description that lines up with how widely the twin-circle look was copied across the category in the years that followed.

Golfalot.com's own account of using the putter was blunt: It was nothing like I had ever seen before, I holed everything I looked at. That impression, holed everything I looked at, iconic shape of the noughties, is opinion rather than a settled verdict, but it's the strongest praise on record for this release, and it centers on the alignment aid the two balls provided rather than any claim about feel or forgiveness.

On the secondhand market, golfalot.com reports 2000/2001 models turning up for around £50, a figure worth treating as one outlet's snapshot of pricing rather than a fixed value. As the putter that opened the 2-Ball line, this original release set the template, the twin circles and the White Hot face, that the rest of the series would carry forward.
