In general, I believe my putting ability is never too bad but on some days it could be really quite poor. After much soul searching and deliberation, I decided that I needed a much better tool for the job; after all putting is almost half the game, right? I was fed up of missing those simple, short putts for par and then walking off feeling like I should have done much better. I went out and spent £50 on a second hand Odyssey 2 ball white hot putter and for the most part, I'm pleased that i did.
To put this review into context, I would first like to say that to improve at any sport there is nothing to replace practice and then more practice. This is especially true for the game of golf and even more so for the art of putting. After all it's on the putting green where you play the largest percent of your shots during your round (for example, an average score of 90 would reasonably entail between 35 and 40 putts. You wouldn't normally use your driver or an iron this often during your round).
The Odyssey 2 ball white hot putter is no miracle worker, you won't be able to just pick it up and start to sink everything on the green, and you must be ready to spend many hours getting acquainted to your new golf putter. It is a top quality piece of well engineered equipment that needs to be practised with, used correctly and appreciated for exactly what it is - a tool to aid you. It is certainly not a fool proof toy, you must spend time familiarising yourself with it, getting its unique feel accepted with your grip.
This golf putter has a steel shaft and a large rubber grip which is quite comfortable but not the best I've used, the quality of the golf putter however, is second to none. This thing will not fall to pieces in your hands; the supplied head cover I received with mine was well padded and should protect the golf putter's head well. It seals with a Velcro fastener which I noticed can occasionally become undone as your other clubs knock against it in your bag. Just take care to ensure that the head cover is fully over the golf putter after each time you use it. Whatever you do, you do not want to damage the putter's face by accident.
My putter is about 35 inches long and it has a lovely balanced feel to it which helps keep the putter straight throughout the stroke and makes the ball roll true through to the hole like no other putter that I've ever used. I found that the white hot face insert is very lively at first, it is likely that, in the beginning, you will over hit some shots as the ball seems to fly off the face; this does take a little getting used to but that's why we practise, right? I guess this is why they call it 'white hot'!
You will either love or hate the two ball alignment system, I must add that I'm not yet a hundred percent comfortable with it and it is taking me a little time to get used to it. It is not quite as easy to hole short putts repeatedly as some people might have you believe. You must practice and familiarise yourself with the club, it will not put the ball in the hole for you but it will help you to achieve consistency.
Overall, I do like my Odyssey golf putter and I recommend them to anyone who finds themselves struggling with their putting. In time, I can see how this club can knock a few shots off a round for most people, I wouldn't say it's the best thing since sliced bread but it is pretty close.
The average cost of a new Odyssey golf putter is somewhere between £99 to £109. In my opinion they are well worth the money. Many people will happily spend £250 on a driver which they can only use about ten times per round! Work that one out 
I would suggest trying one out first if you can before you buy, these putters (whilst used by a lot of tour professionals) are excellent but they are not for everyone.
