Metal X Milled

Odyssey's Metal X Milled line arrived in 2013, built as a milled evolution of the ProType range with Metal X face technology and ProType iX adjustability, according to golfalot.com. The lineup spanned six head shapes, offered in limited quantities for right-handed players per the same report, with mygolfway.com listing availability from January 17, 2014. Golfalot.com also noted alignment cues placed on the top of the leading edge rather than in the back cavity, and pluggedingolf.com described the finish as black and lime.

Odyssey's own product pages for the line describe the Metal-X Milled #1 as a one piece, milled rounded heel-toe blade with a crank-neck hosel, adjustable weights, and full-shaft offset, while the #7 is framed as a high tech milled mallet with adjustable weights, weighted alignment wings, a double-bend shaft, and full-shaft offset. Both pages tie the line to Metal-X roll technology, described as oval depressions in the face meant to lock with the golf ball's dimples for a more consistent roll, alongside a stabilizing crossbar visible from the back and a three-piece adjustable weight kit running 10g, 15g, and 20g.

Reception was split. Thehackersparadise.com's assessment was that the Metal X Milled lineup built a devoted following without translating into significant tour use or sales, a verdict echoed in the broader reviewer consensus supplied here, which likewise pointed to rabid fans on one hand and a lack of large-scale tour or commercial traction on the other.
