Ok, anyone interested in golf obviously knows we need a putter. Anyone interested in Crazy golf obviously knows you need a putter.

Whether you are playing competition golf or golf on a crazy putter course you need a tool that will help you find the cup, I'm now going to stay clear of the crazy golf and stick to the golf we all see on TV and in most towns.

Its quite easy to hit a ball long 300 yards plus these days but its not too easy hitting a ball on a green in a straight line for 5 feet plus. This is were you need a tool that will help you find the centre of the hole in less hits as possible.

I have used lots of putters in recent years, but mainly i have used a traditional putter that most people are familiar with, something like a mallet faced putter. The only problem i found with a traditional putter was keeping it straight when coming in contact with the ball, if you catch the ground slightly it can wabble and often this effects the ball strike so in effect you hit the ball skewwiff!

Now the White Hot is a special putter, as all Odyssey putters they are well balanced, so if you imagine a pendullam it sways back and forth in a perfect line, this is what the rossie does. Other Odyssey putters have imaginary white balls behind the face so gives you a better line to look at. The Rossie does not have these white balls to help you instead you have 2 lines that give you a look at the line you are aiming for, once the ball is in front of the face you have around a 5 inch 'line' to give you a guide to where you are aiming the ball. The feel is great in the past ive often hit the ball some 2 feet short on occasions due to the 'feel', the odyssey is easy to use and does not take long to get the 'feel' and the 'line' you are aiming for.

If you are not familiar with competition golf and do not realise what one missed shot can cost you you will not appreciate what a great putter can do. Ive lost competitons by 1 or 2 shots, mostly those are on the green where you need to be in or very close, any golfer will tell you missing one putt is not too bad, but 3 putting is a crime!

All in all i'm glad i spent £97 for my putter, its helped my putting and has given me more confidence when i'm on the green, i now have the confidence to get more 2 putts than 3.

i play off 18 and as soon as summer 07 comes i will make my charge to take another 3 or 4 shots off my handicap.
