Odyssey is bringing its new TRTL mallet putter line, pronounced "Turtle," to the US and European markets on Nov. 6, after the range became the four best-selling putters in Japan following an earlier launch there.
What technology is in the Odyssey TRTL putters?
The TRTL's face uses a new Ai-Star insert, a dual-layer design combining urethane and aluminum that Odyssey built using the same AI-assisted design process behind its earlier Ai-One and Ai-Dual models. The company says the layered face is intended to keep ball speed consistent across the face and improve forward roll. A deeper, more aggressive Forward Roll Design groove pattern, set at a 19-degree slope, is built to work with the face insert toward the same end.
Each putter also carries a Twin Track alignment system on the crown, a thick white line split by a continuous dark line, along with a steel body, an aerospace-grade aluminum sole and belly, and four adjustable sole weights at the corners. Shifting those weights lets a fitter move the center of gravity toward the heel, toe, front or back to adjust how much the putter's toe hangs during the stroke.
What are the four TRTL putter models?
| Model | Hosel | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|
| TRTL S | Short slant | Slight arc stroke with some face rotation |
| TRTL DB | Double bend | Straight-back, straight-through stroke, minimal rotation |
| TRTL CH | Plumber's neck | Moderate-to-significant arc and face rotation |
| TRTL Max S2S | Zero-torque, square-to-square | Straight-back, straight-through stroke, face kept square |
How has the putter performed on tour so far?
Min Woo Lee has gamed a TRTL prototype since February and finished T-4 in the 2026 FedEx Cup while using it; Si Woo Kim and Nicolai Hojgaard have also carried prototypes in competition this year. Early testers have generally praised the Ai-Star face for its consistent ball speed and feel, particularly on longer putts, though some have noted the deeper grooves can collect debris in wet or dewy conditions and need more frequent cleaning.
A dual-layer face and a deeper groove pattern are Odyssey's answer to a putter market the TaylorMade Spider has dominated in recent majors.
The S model tested ahead of release was priced at $349 (£299); full pricing across the DB, CH and Max S2S models was not disclosed.
