That Odyssey Jailbird is So Scorching Proper Now

Having the hottest putter on the PGA TOUR is the dream of each putter firm. Demand for that sizzling putter skyrockets. Each golfer, from execs to schmoes, needs to see if the most recent hottest putter can even be sizzling of their bag. For the corporate, a classy putter means an enormous uptick in putter gross sales.

Except stated “sizzling putter” was final manufactured in 2014.

When you’ve watched any skilled golf just lately, you’ve seen the exceptional resurgence of the Odyssey Versa Jailbird putter. Rickie had one constructed to some arguably atypical specs and subsequently used it to set a file low opening spherical on the U.S. Open and reenter the FedEx Cup dialog.

That low spherical generated curiosity within the Jailbird however when Wyndham Clark gained the U.S. Open with the identical mannequin, Jailbird insanity actually took off. A as soon as bargain-bin putter was now fetching tons of of {dollars} on eBay. Some on-line retailers have Jailbirds listed at greater than $1,500! In poor situation!

For Odyssey, the recent putter dream rapidly grew to become considerably nightmarish. That they had the lightning however no bottle. Everybody now needs the putter however because it was made so way back, they possible had barely sufficient Jailbirds to produce Tour gamers, not to mention {the golfing} lots.

I’m no economist however provide and demand guidelines say that Odyssey must restart Jailbird manufacturing.

Enter the Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380

With the fast manufacturing of the brand new Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380Odyssey is including some provide to satisfy the demand. Or a minimum of among the demand as this can be a restricted manufacturing run.

This model of the Jailbird mallet needs to be in excessive demand as it’s constructed with specs matching these of Fowler and Clark’s Jailbirds.

Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380 Specs

Jailbird mallet head form
Versa high-contrast alignment (black/white)
380-gram head weight
39-inch commonplace size
Microhinge insert
Face-balanced toe grasp

General, the construct is an attention-grabbing one. For positive, it’s not a model that was on the cabinets a decade in the past. This putter is longer (39 inches) and has a 17-inch-long SuperStroke grip. At 380 grams, it’s also fairly heavy in comparison with the 355 of the unique.

This makes the Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380 a counterbalanced putter. Similar to Rickie, you’ll grip the putter at your regular spot, with the grip extending nicely above your fingers. This weight distribution ought to present ample stability in the course of the stroke.

Simply How Restricted and Will it See Retail in 2024

Odyssey didn’t share the precise variety of Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380 putters that they are going to be producing. I’d wager it’s greater than 10 and fewer than 10,000. My guess is they are going to make as many as they’ll squeeze into their deliberate 2023 manufacturing quotas.

Irrespective of what number of they make, maintaining with demand can be troublesome. Keegan Bradley successful with a Jailbird final weekend simply provides extra gas to the frenzy. Ought to Rickie seize a win, even these putters could possibly be headed to nicely above retail pricing.

Talking of pricing, Odyssey is charging $399.99 for the Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380. Clearly, $400 isn’t low cost however I really feel like they may have charged extra and nonetheless bought each one they made. Not gouging the golf client is a refreshing and strange advertising scheme. Good on you, Group Odyssey.

Will this be the final Versa Jailbird we see or is it the primary of many? I’m curious to see if Odyssey provides the Jailbird to the brand new White Hot Versa line subsequent 12 months. That might observe with the unique Jailbird 2014 launch because it was launched a 12 months after the preliminary Versa launch in 2013. I suppose it is determined by the continuance of Jailbird insanity.

Do you suppose we’ll see an Odyssey White Scorching Versa Jailbird in 2024?
