Meet the New Odyssey TRTL Putters: A New Era of Stability, Alignment and Confidence on the Greens
Odyssey Golf is raising the bar in putter design with its all-new TRTL lineup, combining innovative technology, high-MOI construction and Tour-inspired performance to help golfers gain more confidence on the greens.
When it comes to lowering scores, few clubs in the bag have a bigger influence than the putter. Finding the right combination of feel, alignment, forgiveness and consistency can make all the difference between saving par and walking away frustrated.
That's exactly where Odyssey's newest release comes into play.
Introducing the Odyssey TRTL putters (pronounced "Turtle"), an exciting new family of mallet putters designed to deliver greater stability, improved alignment and more consistent ball speed. With a distinctive new head shape, innovative Ai-Star insert and adjustable perimeter weighting, Odyssey is bringing some serious technology to the putting green.
And with professional players already putting the TRTL into competition, this is a release golfers will want to pay attention to.
A Fresh Take on Mallet Putter Design
The first thing you'll notice about the Odyssey TRTL is its distinctive mid-mallet shape.
Inspired by the anatomy of a turtle, the design combines clean lines with a confidence-inspiring profile that sits beautifully behind the golf ball. But there's much more happening beneath the surface.
Odyssey has engineered the TRTL around high Moment of Inertia (MOI), helping the putter resist twisting on off-center strikes. The result is a more stable platform designed to maintain consistency when contact isn't perfect.
The multi-material construction plays a major role in achieving this performance.
The putter features:
- A precision-crafted steel body with a premium black PVD finish.
- A lightweight ABS outer shell.
- An aerospace-grade aluminum sole.
- Four adjustable perimeter weights.
By strategically distributing weight toward the perimeter, Odyssey has created a putter designed to offer enhanced stability and forgiveness.
Twin Track Alignment: Aiming With Confidence
One of the standout features of the new TRTL range is Odyssey's Twin Track Alignment system.
Two prominent parallel sightlines run along the top of the putter, extending toward the face to create a clear visual reference when addressing the ball.
Alignment is one of the most important aspects of putting, yet it's something many golfers struggle with. Even a small misalignment can send a perfectly struck putt away from its intended target.
The Twin Track system is designed to make it easier to visualize the intended starting line, helping golfers position the putter face more consistently.
Combined with the TRTL's refined head shape and new sole geometry, the design aims to create a more natural, confidence-inspiring setup.
Introducing the New Ai-Star Insert
Perhaps the most exciting development in the TRTL family is the introduction of Odyssey's new Ai-Star insert.
This innovative dual-layer face technology combines an aluminum inner layer with a firmer urethane striking surface.
The goal is simple: deliver more consistent ball speed across the face while improving forward roll and maintaining a responsive feel.
Odyssey has also incorporated its Forward Roll Design groove technology, featuring a deeper, more aggressive groove pattern with a 19-degree slope.
Together, these technologies are engineered to:
- Promote consistent ball speed across the face.
- Improve forward roll.
- Help manage distance control on off-center strikes.
- Deliver a firmer, more responsive feel at impact.
For golfers who want the benefits of modern insert technology without an overly soft sensation, the Ai-Star insert could be particularly appealing.
Adjustable Perimeter Weighting: Fine-Tune Your Performance
Another major feature separating the TRTL from many traditional mallet putters is its adjustable weighting system.
Four individual weights positioned around the perimeter of the head allow golfers to adjust the center of gravity toward the front, rear, heel or toe.
This provides an additional level of customization, allowing players and club fitters to fine-tune the putter's characteristics, including toe hang.
It's an impressive addition to an already technology-packed design and gives golfers more opportunities to find a configuration that complements their putting stroke.
Four Models to Suit Different Putting Strokes
Odyssey understands that no two putting strokes are exactly alike. That's why the TRTL family offers different hosel configurations and a dedicated zero-torque option.
Here's a closer look at the lineup.
1. Odyssey TRTL S
The TRTL S features a short slant neck and is designed for golfers with a moderate-arc putting stroke.
It offers the most toe hang of the standard TRTL models, making it an interesting option for players who prefer some natural face rotation throughout their stroke.
2. Odyssey TRTL DB
Featuring a double-bend shaft configuration, the TRTL DB is face-balanced and designed for golfers with a straighter-back, straighter-through putting motion.
Its clean appearance and prominent Twin Track alignment make it an appealing option for players who prefer a more traditional face-balanced mallet.
3. Odyssey TRTL CH
The TRTL CH features a crank hosel and moderate toe hang.
With full shaft offset, it is designed for golfers who prefer a slight-to-moderate arc in their putting stroke.
4. Odyssey TRTL Max Square 2 Square
For golfers interested in zero-torque technology, the TRTL Max Square 2 Square is arguably the most intriguing model in the family.
Its larger mallet design incorporates Odyssey's Square 2 Square technology, featuring toe-up balance and face progression.
The design is intended to minimize face rotation and help golfers maintain a square putter face throughout a straight-back, straight-through stroke.
Its larger profile also provides an even higher-MOI platform for players prioritizing stability.
Already Making an Impression on Tour
While new equipment always generates excitement, seeing professional golfers put a product into competition provides another level of interest.
The Odyssey TRTL has already attracted attention on professional tours.
Min Woo Lee has been among the players associated with the new design, while LPGA Tour player Yuna Nishimura also used a TRTL during her maiden LPGA victory in Arkansas.
Odyssey has reported strong demand for the putter among professional players, with the range also enjoying considerable commercial success following its initial introduction in Japan.
It's an encouraging start for a new putter family and suggests the TRTL has generated plenty of interest beyond its impressive appearance.
