Works Versa Tank #1 Wide

The Odyssey Works Tank Versa #1 Wide is the counterbalanced version of the #1 Wide shape within the Works Versa line, built as a compact heel-toe weighted blade with a wide flange, Versa high contrast alignment, a double bend shaft, and full-shaft offset. The maker's page describes it plainly: "The Odyssey Works Tank Versa #1 Wide Putter is a compact heel-toe weighted blade with a wide flange, Versa high contrast alignment, Tank counterbalance, a double bend shaft and full-shaft offset." Golfalot lists its technology as Tank technology, though that is the publication's own characterization rather than a maker or verified claim.

Where the standard #1 Wide Arm Lock Versa relies on an alternative Arm Lock design to change the golfer's setup, this release takes a different route to stability: Tank counterbalance. The maker's page frames the intent directly, stating "More stability at impact," and citing that "When golfers tried these new putters, 60% of them had a more consistent path, which is a pretty staggering number." The copy attributes this to "The counterbalance weight, heavier heads and heavier shafts" working to "quiet the hands and engage the big muscles to promote a more consistent stroke."

Like the rest of the Works Versa family, this #1 Wide Tank carries the Fusion RX insert, pairing the White Hot insert with an ultra thin stainless steel mesh and the Metal-X roll pattern, and it shares in the family's Versa alignment treatment, the silver and black contrast meant to key the eye onto face angle from address through impact. Within the #1 Wide's own small cluster of variants, the Tank version sits as the counterbalance answer alongside the Arm Lock version's setup-based answer to the same stability question, both built on the same compact heel-toe blade with wide flange.
