Rossie White Hot Pro

The 2013 Rossie White Hot Pro is one of the head shapes carried inside Odyssey's White Hot Pro line, a family the maker's page describes as built around Tour models finished in Gun Metal PVD with an updated White Hot insert. The maker's page states that engineers developed a new and improved White Hot insert engineered for more consistent sound, feel, and performance through impact, produced using a new laser milling insert cutting process meant to hold tighter tolerances across the striking surface. The Rossie itself is described on the maker's page as a face-balanced mallet with a double-bend shaft and full-shaft offset.

The broader White Hot Pro line carries a 2013 Golf Digest Hot List Gold Medal, and the maker's page cites Golf Digest crediting the White Hot Pro as testers' favorite blade, noting that the technical benefits of a good face insert didn't come at the cost of feel. thehackersparadise.com lists the Rossie White Hot Pro as part of the White Hot Pro series, though that source is reported rather than confirmed by the maker.

Set against the rest of the Rossie's run, this White Hot Pro version predates the milled, tech-forward direction the shape would later take. Later Rossie releases moved into the Metal-X Milled family, with the maker's page describing that version as face-balanced with adjustable weights and Metal-X roll technology, and into the Odyssey Works family, where the Rossie I and Rossie II carried the Fusion RX insert, Tank counterbalancing, and Versa alignment options. The 2013 White Hot Pro Rossie sits earlier in that line, built around the insert and finish work rather than the crossbar or counterbalance features that came after it.
