2-Ball (OG)

The 2021 Odyssey 2-Ball, the original head in the line, carries a more rounded head shape, according to golfalot.com's reporting, with a head weight the publication lists at 365 grams. That rounded profile sets it apart from the squared, twin-circle look that later 2-Ball variants would take on, and it's worth noting up front because for at least one reviewer, that shape was the sticking point to get past.

Golfalot.com's review is blunt about it: I was always a blade user but the performance of the 2-Ball made me forget about the looks, and go with the results. The publication also noted the head shape as a strong point for many players, calling it the most preferred head shape among reviewers it consulted. That's a notable thing to hold on a putter whose visual signature, the two white circles behind the face, has always invited strong reactions one way or the other. Here the record shows a reviewer who came in skeptical of a mallet on aesthetic grounds and left talking about results instead.

Against the rest of the 2-Ball line, this 2021 release reads as the standard bearer, the shape and weight that reviewers measure later versions against. The rounded head and the 365 gram figure golfalot.com reports are the specific data points on file for this release, and they're worth checking against whatever a given player is used to swinging before assuming they carry over to other 2-Ball heads.
