Double Wide

The Odyssey Double Wide has taken shape across at least four entries on record, spanning an unspecified early version, the general Double Wide, the DW, and the 2021 White Hot OG Double Wide, with the shape name itself remaining the constant thread. Golfexchange.com and thehackersparadise.com both cite the Double Wide as a distinct shape family within Odyssey's alternative putting lineup, a wide blade design that shows up repeatedly across the maker's own product pages as face-balanced, suited to strokes with minimal face rotation and arc.

Odyssey's own descriptions of the Double Wide head lean on the Stroke Lab shaft and, later, the Microhinge Star insert, framing the shaft's weight redistribution as the mechanism behind the putter's rebalanced feel. The maker's page for the Stroke Lab Black Double Wide Arm Lock describes it as best suited for strokes with minimal face rotation, while a companion Stroke Lab Black Double Wide with a flow neck is pitched at strokes with more arc, suggesting the line was built to offer both a face-balanced and an arc-friendly version under the same shape name.

Reviewer sentiment across the line's eras has been largely favorable but not uniform. Thehackersparadise.com, writing on both the Odyssey Double Wide and the DW, described rediscovering why they loved the putter, citing balance and impact feel as spot on and distance control as close to perfect given varied green conditions. That same praise for balance and impact feel carried into later community notes, though some flagged that the Double Wide's stroke-to-square design helps more with pushes and pulls than with other stroke faults, and one account mentioned missing shorter birdie putts with it.

The White Hot OG Double Wide of 2021 marked a turn in materials and finish, per golfexchange.com, which reported a White Hot insert, a wide blade double bend face-balanced head, and a choice between a stepless steel shaft or a new red Stroke Lab shaft, alongside a new midsize pistol grip. Thehackersparadise.com's reaction to this version was more mixed than earlier entries in the line: the reviewer praised its looks but admitted to personally struggling with it, a contrast worth noting given how strongly the same publication had backed the earlier Double Wide and DW.
