Odyssey are debuting the Metal X DART Arm Lock putter, a belly length putter that conforms with the USGA and R&A regulations.
Ever since golfs ruling bodies (USGA, R&A) proposed a ban on belly putters from the tour, Odyssey were quick to pounce and started work on the arm lock putter range. This works by allowing the golfer an alternative method of stabilising the putter through extending the length of the shaft up the golfers arm. This new extended length putter fully conforms with the new golf regulations.
“We have been anticipating the proposed ban on the anchoring technique for some time now, and working with our Tour players, have identified an alternative and Tour-proven putting method,” said Chris Koske, Global Director, Odyssey Golf.
“We’re now moving quickly to deliver the Arm Lock products that promote a stable and consistent putting stroke for both professional and amateur golfers.”
Arm Lock features an extended grip size that runs up to the mid point on your leading shot forearm, this new style allows you to comfortably look over your shot without having to lean as much.
The Metal-X Putters represent the latest chapter in Odyssey’s long history of game-changing innovations. The Metal-X Insert provides the crisp feedback of a metal striking force, coupled with amazing feel. The unique face pattern generates the truest roll in golf and the ovals on the face develop a mechanical lock with the golf ball’s dimples at impact, creating friction and imparting an incredibly consistent roll for high precision distance control.
The Odyssey Metal-X D.A.R.T. Arm Lock Putter has a perimeter-weighted mallet with D.A.R.T. alignment, a double-bend shaft and full-shaft offset.

Metal-X Insert
Dual layered insert designed to put a consistent, true roll on the ball with amazing feedback and feel. The 6061 aluminum striking layer’s oval depressions maximize the mechanical lock with the golf ball dimples to increase friction and impart proper launch of the golf ball, which in turn creates a much more controlled and consistent roll. The Urethane inner layer provides soft touch and saves weight to optimize performance.
Midnight Black Finish
Premium, high tech process produces a durable, glare reduction finish. This finish was added specifically based on feedback gathered from Tour players.
Lamkin 3Gen Pistol Grip
Thin, smaller pistol shape appeals to better players. The grip is made of Lamkin’s proprietary 3GEN material, which is their softest synthetic rubber compound and reduces vibration without dulling the feel of the putt. This allows golfers to keep their forearms relaxed, apply very light grip pressure and minimize hard tension for smooth, consistent strokes.
