This is the Metal-X #6, not the Metal-X. They are different models in our records, not two years of one, and each keeps its own page. See the Metal-X →

The Record

Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correct

The Odyssey Metal-X #6 carries a squared off heel-toe weighted blade with a wide flange, a design Odyssey's own pages describe across several markets in nearly identical language: a short slant-neck hosel with half-shaft offset, a centered shaft with no offset noted in one French-market listing, and the Metal-X insert that the maker calls a blend of friction and feel. Odyssey's copy leans on that phrase repeatedly, across the French, German, and English pages alike, framing the insert as delivering "the crisp feedback of a metal striking force, coupled with amazing feel."

The maker's page also carries an outside credential worth noting on its own terms: a 2013 Golf Digest Hot List Gold Medal, alongside the quote "It's like the club locked into the ball and it started rolling automatically." That's Golf Digest's language, reproduced on Odyssey's own site.

Reviewer opinion on the #6 has centered on the face and the roll it produces. Community notes describe the insert as delivering a true, quick roll with a crisp audible click, and praise the way the classic blade shape sits alongside more modern designs, while flagging the stock Lamkin 3Gen grip as too slick for some tastes and the loft and insert contrast as a visual distraction at address. Thehackersparadise.com was more direct in its praise, writing "the Metal-X #6 is an eye opener for me. The principal of the face with its mechanical lock due to its multiple edges works and it works well," a assessment that lines up with Odyssey's own description of ovals on the face locking mechanically into a ball's dimples at impact.

As straight forward as I can be, the Metal-X #6 is an eye opener for me. The principal of the face with its mechanical lock due to its multiple edges works and it works well.
