PUTTER
Odyssey O-Works Black #1
2018
The O-Works Black line (2018) is essentially a blacked-out, aesthetically updated version of the original 2017 O-Works putters, keeping the same Microhinge insert but swapping the white/colored crowns for an all-black look aimed at traditionalists who found the original O-Works graphics too bold. Reviewers at Plugged In Golf and Golfmagic consistently praise the Microhinge insert as a standout among Odyssey's insert technologies, describing it as a middle ground between Odyssey's older, softer White Hot inserts and fully milled faces — producing a firmer, more responsive feel with noticeably reduced skid and faster topspin roll. Within Odyssey's own catalog the #1 blade competes against mallet siblings like the 2-Ball Fang and 330M, and more broadly the O-Works Black line positions itself against milled blades from Scotty Cameron and TaylorMade Spider models by offering insert-based feel at a lower price point than fully milled competitors.

GEARCADDIE FIT VERDICT
Who should play this club — and why
BEST FOR
Designed primarily for golfers with a straight-back-straight-through or slight-arc putting stroke who prefer a compact, traditional blade shape (as opposed to the mallet O-Works models like the 2-Ball Fang or 330M). Suited to mid-to-low handicap and better players who favor a more classic look and firmer, more feedback-rich response than a fully soft insert, while still wanting some sound/feel dampening the Microhinge insert provides.
