NEVER COMPROMISE PUTTER

While the big equipment names fight it out there's always room for a classy outsider to steal some thunder in the golf market. And our money this year goes on this inspired putter design - ironically being masterminded from scratch by three former Odyssey workers.

But rather than a face insert, their brainchild features a super- lightweight polymer that accounts for the entire middle section of their five-strong range of blades and mallets, leaving a full 90% of the weight concentrated at the edges.

The result, they suggest, is a design which both 'frames' the ball perfectly at alignment and which won't twist on even your duffest of strikes. Allison Nicholas (winner of the Hawaiian Open earlier this year) and numerous US seniors (it's currently the most played on their circuit) will no doubt concur.
