At first glance, it resembles the head of a hybrid club. However, it is an approach club.
There is a club developed by Callaway Golf to perform approach shots more easily and accurately. The 'Odyssey Chipper' is making its way into the domestic golf market.
Callaway Golf Korea announced on the 30th the domestic launch of the 'Odyssey Chipper.'
The Odyssey Chipper is a model designed to reduce the mis-hits that frequently occur in short games, enabling easier implementation of trajectory and distance control. It features enhanced tolerance and a soft strike feel, supporting short game performance that also satisfies tactile feedback.
Designed with the neck connected straight vertically to the head like a hybrid, it improves stability at address and makes trajectory and distance control from the greenside much more comfortable.
The design of the head's top line toe section is elevated, naturally widening the face area and making it easier to facilitate ball contact, which effectively reduces mis-hits. Additionally, the step sole design similar to that of elite fairway woods minimizes friction with the grass, helping the club to exit the ground smoothly and ensuring stable strokes even in the rough.
The Odyssey Chipper combines the advantages of a putter, such as a polymer insert for a soft strike feel and three white alignment lines to assist with accurate alignment, fulfilling both functionality and psychological stability for players.
It is available in two models: 34.5 inches and 33.5 inches, both with a loft of 37°. The 34.5-inch model features a red grip, while the 33.5-inch model has a pink grip, both approximately 75g, allowing golfers to choose according to their style.
A representative from Callaway Golf said, 'The Odyssey Chipper will provide new options for golfers who seek a more intuitive and stable short game around the greens,' adding, 'Especially for amateur golfers who feel a significant burden regarding mis-hits, it will be a very practical club.'
