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 scorching putter skyrockets. Each golfer, from execs to schmoes, needs to see if the latest hottest putter may even be scorching of their bag. For the corporate, a classy putter means an enormous uptick in putter gross sales.

Except mentioned “scorching putter” was final manufactured in 2014.

When you’ve watched any skilled golf just lately, you’ve seen the outstanding resurgence of the Odyssey Versa Jailbird putter. Rickie had one constructed to some arguably atypical specs and subsequently used it to set a document 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 received the U.S. Open with the identical mannequin, Jailbird insanity actually took off. A as soon as bargain-bin putter was now fetching lots 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 shortly turned considerably nightmarish. That they had the lightning however no bottle. Everybody now needs the putter however because it was made so way back, they probably had barely sufficient Jailbirds to provide Tour gamers, not to mention {the golfing} plenty.

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

Enter the Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380

With the speedy manufacturing of the brand new Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380, Odyssey is including some provide to fulfill the demand. Or not less than a few of the demand as it is a restricted manufacturing run.

This model of the Jailbird mallet ought 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 normal size
• Microhinge insert
• Face-balanced toe dangle

General, the construct is an fascinating one. For certain, it isn’t 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 is usually fairly heavy in comparison with the 355 of the unique.

This makes the Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380 a counterbalanced putter. Identical to Rickie, you’ll grip the putter at your regular spot, with the grip extending effectively above your palms. This weight distribution ought to present ample stability through 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’ll make as many as they will squeeze into their deliberate 2023 manufacturing quotas.

Regardless of what number of they make, maintaining with demand might be troublesome. Keegan Bradley profitable with a Jailbird final weekend simply provides extra gas to the frenzy. Ought to Rickie seize a win, even these putters may very well be headed to effectively above retail pricing.

Talking of pricing, Odyssey is charging $399.99 for the Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380. Clearly, $400 will not be low cost however I really feel like they might have charged extra and nonetheless offered each one they made. Not gouging the golf client is a refreshing and weird advertising and marketing 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 Scorching Versa line subsequent yr. That might monitor with the unique Jailbird 2014 launch because it was launched a yr after the preliminary Versa launch in 2013. I suppose it depends upon the continuance of Jailbird insanity.

Do you suppose we are going to see an Odyssey White Scorching Versa Jailbird in 2024?
