Template Narrows Center Shaft Putter vs Odyssey White Hot OG 2-Ball

The Odyssey White Hot OG 2-Ball is the safer pick for most shoppers: the two-ball alignment is the most copied aiming aid in putting, the DFX insert gives a soft, consistent roll, and it is a proven, widely owned mallet. The Tour Edge Template Narrows CS is the better fit for a straight-back, straight-through stroke with eyes over the ball, thanks to its face-balanced center shaft and milled 304 stainless face. On build, the Odyssey's insert and alloy head feel livelier; the Tour Edge's milled stainless face and PVD finish feel firmer and more durable. Owners of both report solid feel; the Odyssey has the deeper track record.

• Choose the Template Narrows CS if you keep your eyes directly over the ball, stroke straight back and through, and want a milled stainless face with a soft, low-skid roll.
• Choose the White Hot OG 2-Ball if you want the easiest alignment in putting and a soft insert face in a familiar, face-balanced mallet.
