After I had the general shape I used a belt sander to get edges rounded and the bottom rounded.

So I ordered my brass online, got it, carefully measured the insert hole with calipers, sketched it on the brass, then I sawed off the excess on a machine. So as you can see, the torch screwed up the paint, as I was fully expecting. So finally I just decided to go for it, and I used the pen torch to melt out the insert. So then I went home and tried heating up the knives with a pen torch to melt through the insert. So first I tried to cut out the insert with various sharp objects.Ĭlearly my sharp objects were not sharp enough, because that didn't work at all. So I decided to just jump in and try to do this because. So you used aluminum for your insert, how has it held up? And knicks or dings? I want to use brass and I know they have a similar hardness.

One of the reasons I want to do this is is to reduce the mushy feel of the putter, so I would want to use something much harder than the current black silicon to hold in the new metal face. Sounds like you're the guy to talk to! So I don't want to ruin the paint job on my putter (by using a torch to melt the silicon), do you think I could just pry out the insert and the silicon? Make sure you post some pictures of the completed project with your impressions!

Give it a try and feel free to ask questions. I made mine snug enough so it didn't need any adhesive. Its a fun experiment and you can get black RTV sealant at any hardware store to glue in the insert. So unless you replace this carrier you are still 'insulated' from the insert if that makes sense. The Odyssey #7's are hollow and the insert is held in place by a plastic carrier. I made an aluminum insert (including deep-milling) and it made almost no difference in the feel. In the process of torching it I managed to heat it up enough to make the glue holding the insert in fail and the insert fell out! Turns out its held in with a black silicone adhesive. I used some Caswells (sp?) blackener and it wasn't what I wanted so I decided to try torching it. I was attempting to blacken a putter that I bought from someone who bead-blasted it and I just didn't like the look of it.

Odyssey have also redistributed that saved weight by adding 10g to the head in the form of two sole weights, and adding 30g to the grip-end via a 10g-lighter grip and 40g end-weight.I did this to a White Hot Pro #7 and its a fun project.

The Stroke Lab shaft is a full 40 grams lighter than a traditional steel putter shaft, made possible by an innovative new multi-material shaft design that combines graphite with steel to weigh just 75g. Stroke Lab Technology also helps golfers improve their putting stroke, including back swing length, face angle at impact, head speed through impact and tempo, all through a profound change in weight distribution made possible by an innovative new shaft. These putters are beautiful and will appeal to golfers who prefer the look of a milled putter. The putters come in a rich silver PVD finish, combined with milling on the surfaces to give the putters a ultra-premium look verses previous versions of White Hot. Tour professionals and recreational golfers alike have been asking Odyssey to reintroduce it for years and Odyssey have listened. The most popular putter insert of all time is back in the exact original formulation, original feel, original sound and original performance.
