Odyssey S2S Tri-Hot #7 Putter

Mallet Putter

The #7 is one of the most recognizable putter shapes Odyssey has ever made, and this 2025 S2S Tri-Hot version keeps the two-prong fang silhouette that players either love on sight or don't. It's a mallet, so you get a bigger footprint behind the ball and more forgiveness than a blade. What sets this one apart is the mid toe hang. Most #7-style mallets come face-balanced, which points them at straight-back-straight-through strokes. This one is tuned for a putter that opens and closes through the stroke.

That combination is the whole story here. You get the stability and alignment help of a mallet with a hang profile that usually lives in a blade or a heel-shafted design. If you've been told you have too much arc for a face-balanced mallet, this is Odyssey answering that exact problem in the #7 shape you already wanted.

The alignment aid runs down the crown between the two fangs, giving you a clear line to set the face and track the ball back to the cup. It's a putter for someone who wants a mallet's confidence at address without giving up the release they already have.

Design

The fang mallet shape does two jobs. The two prongs push weight to the far corners of the head, which raises the MOI and keeps the face steadier on off-center hits. The gap between them frames the ball and creates a natural sightline, so the alignment aid isn't fighting a busy crown for your attention. Mid toe hang is the design choice that matters most. At mid hang the toe droops partway toward the ground when you balance the shaft on a finger, which means the face rotates open on the backswing and closes coming through. That suits a stroke with a moderate arc. A player who fans the face and squares it naturally will find the timing easier here than on a dead face-balanced mallet that resists rotation.

Who It's For

• You have a slight to moderate arc in your stroke and keep fighting face-balanced mallets that feel like they hang the face open.
• The blade look never gave you enough confidence over the ball, but you still want a putter that releases naturally.
• Alignment is a weak spot and you want a clear sightline between the fangs to aim the face.
• You miss short putts toward the toe and want the extra stability a high-MOI mallet gives on those strikes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Odyssey S2S Tri-Hot #7 face-balanced?

No. It has mid toe hang, so the toe droops partway down when you balance the shaft on your finger. That makes it fit an arced stroke rather than the straight-back-straight-through stroke a face-balanced putter suits. It's an unusual setup for a #7 mallet, which is usually face-balanced, so it's worth knowing before you buy.

What kind of stroke does the #7 Tri-Hot fit?

A slight to moderate arc. The mid toe hang lets the face open on the way back and square up through impact, so if your putter naturally rotates a little, the timing here feels right. If you have a dead-straight stroke with no arc, a face-balanced mallet will match you better.

Does the #7 have an alignment aid?

Yes. There's a sightline running down the crown through the gap between the two fangs. It helps you set the face square at address and gives you a reference to start the ball on line. The open fang shape makes that line easy to see without clutter around it.

How is the #7 mallet different from an Odyssey blade putter?

The #7 has a much larger head with two rear fangs that spread weight to the corners, so it's more forgiving and more stable on mishits than a blade. The tradeoff is a bigger, busier look behind the ball. With mid toe hang, though, this #7 releases more like a blade than a typical mallet does.

Will the #7 help if I miss putts off the toe?

It should help. The fang design raises the MOI by pushing mass to the heel and toe corners, which keeps the face from twisting as much on strikes away from the center. You'll lose less speed and direction on a toe miss than you would with a blade or a smaller mallet.
