LOL. i'm just going to go be me. If it drops, it drops. I want to be at my best rolling into the Grandaddy. This at least gives me one Callaway product in addition to CSX golf ball in my bag.
How long will the course be closed? I’d be off the walls excited.
Typically 2 weeks. All the courses here go through it this time of year. they stagger the shutdowns so I can still play. but i would have to cross town in rush hour to get there.....thus not tonight. But TOMORROW I roll!
you putted so well with that thing!
hopefully the new ones treats you even better!
Nice. I am always cautious when I start rolling in putts at the store as well. I tried a lot of different putters and different models from the Versa line and no other putter could get the ball started on line consistently for me as the Versa #1.
Unfortunately work keeps making me stay late. I’m yet to get it in a proper putting green.you putted so well with that thing!
Awesome!
Are you able to return it? You can order them at 37.
6 month update – Odyssey Versa Twelve – Center ShaftView attachment 9206052
After six months of using the Odyssey Twelve in center shaft, I wanted to give my thoughts on this putter. I will try to be concise, but there is really a lot I want to touch on.
I have played Odyssey putters for many years at this point, but with my Lunatic Fringe tendencies, I have also dabbled outside of Odyssey but always came back quickly. Most recently, prior to the Odyssey Versa Twelve I played the Odyssey TEN with micro hinge face and loved it. I bought the ELEVEN and used it for a period but went back to the TEN. I honestly didn’t think I would ever move away from the TEN because I loved it so much. I still do. However, along came the Greatest Amateur Golf Event – The Grandaddy and I was blessed to have the opportunity to get fit for a new putter (and much more- Thank you THP, Callaway, @JB and @GolferGal ). With this came a fitting by the best in the business and an introduction to a game changer for me and it happened to be center shafted.
Alignment
I have struggled with putting alignment for basically my adult life. Partially my vision sucks and when I got contacts, that helped a lot. Along with a game changing video I saw, a lesson and the Versa Twelve things have been great. I find the alignment very easy with the Twelve and the mix of large white stripe and small black line really gets the line I am after. I really like the contrast. It pops on the greens, even in bright sun light. It is just so easy.
Center Shaft
In no way had I ever considered a center shafted putter. It was only because I had time before being fit that I was rolling many different putters and found myself not wanting to move on from the CS TWELVE. It just kept going in the hole in the studio and I figured ‘why not’? I went with it and am SO glad I did. I get it that Center Shaft isn’t for everyone, but I also thought the same thing until I gave it a chance. For me, I find the angles just line up perfect to my eye and it just seems natural now. I am a big fan of the CS putter now.
Fitting
This may be the most important part of this entire write up. The fitting. I had never been fit for a putter before this. Amazing, the club we use every hole and the most in a round and not have been fit. This just doesn’t make sense. I would highly recommend getting fit for putter, just like all our other clubs. Turns out that the fitting gave me a fit of 32 ½” length, 69 degree lie, 3 degrees of loft. It really does make a difference being fit. Consistency goes through the roof. Moreover, it can also uncover path, strike, roll, etc that you might not otherwise understand. I found that I had slight side spin and the fitter explained it was based on path – therefore he gave me a small tip to have my takeaway slightly more ‘outward’. It is something I think about on every putt now and this has helped a lot.
Overall
For me, the VERSA TWELVE is summed up in three words – Solid, Balance and Stability. In my opinion, putter feel is in the swing and impact. With the swing, I feel like the face just stays in line with my desired direction/line. It is very balanced and the face just wants to stay square. This gives me so much confidence. With respect to stability, the balance enhances the square strike of the ball and feels rock solid. The ball is rolling forward immediately. I think it is not just one thing, but rather a combination of things that provide the overall feel. Moving from the micro hinge face on the TEN that I liked so much, there definitely was a ‘getting used to’ period with distance control. Once I moved past this and really started understanding this putter, it has been amazing. I love this putter. The numbers of 2 and 3 putts have drastically declined and my confidence putting has never been higher. I no longer fear the 2-3ft putt, I welcome it.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully it gives a decent picture of what the Odyssey VERSA Twelve is to me and how it has impacted my game. Cheers and thanks to my 2022 Grandaddy teammates for everything. @Hibs @Tevenor @PackersGirl @captaincaution @mancest @Saywhat4412 @drp3434 @PKorf @Doubleb21 @fuffle master @goalie @Kodi'aK

The alignment is a game changer for me. Definitely recommend it rolling as many models as you can because you never know what you’ll like best
It’s was a little head turning to be sure. Still don’t love the feel of the insert but I’m sure that would quickly change if putts start dropping. Definitely saw enough that I want to go try some more
It took me a while to get used to the insert. The results don’t lie, but not my favorite feeling insert ever.
Of everyone that is being fit next week, your fitting with the putter is one I am stoked to see. Having followed your process the last few months with the Versa #1, I would be SHOCKED to see anything kick it from the bag. But......
I rolled the 2 T CH Milled really well. the fitting is going to be interesting.
The Versa alignment has helped me a ton. It helps me keep the putter square at address and I've made more putts with it, especially from 10 feet and in.
that;s great to hear. I love my CS 12. I find that alignment, while opposite to the rest of the Versa line, really helped me as well.
