WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Odyssey\u2019s zero-torque evolution has been methodical. First came better shapes. Then the original Tri-Hot eliminated shaft lean by pushing the CG aggressively forward.<\/p>\n

Now the S2S Tri-Hot SB (single-bend) solves the last thing keeping some players on the sidelines: a heel-shafted configuration with conventional alignment lines and a setup that feels more traditional.<\/p>\n

3 Cool Things \"https:\/\/www.golfdigest.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2022\/DSC_0328.JPG\"\/<\/p>\n

1. The last barrier, cleared: Centre shaft and obstructed alignment. Those were the two things Odyssey\u2019s product team kept hearing from golfers who wouldn\u2019t make the jump to zero torque.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew that zero torque\u2019s not right for everyone,\u201d said Jacob Davidson, Callaway\u2019s vice-president of product strategy, \u201cbut we thought it had the opportunity with bigger imagination and innovation to expand further than it was.\u201d<\/p>\n

A single-bend hosel enters through the heel while staying on the same centre-shafted axis, delivering a cleaner look with standard alignment lines and a familiar setup.<\/p>\n

Callaway staffers and club pros have been picking these up at headquarters, making strokes and asking, \u201cWait, is this zero torque?\u201d after the fact. That\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n

2. It only works because of what came before: Moving the hosel heelward sounds simple \u2013 even if it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a simple change,\u201d said Eric Stubben, Odyssey\u2019s R&D director, \u201cbut it\u2019s something that could really only come in an elegant way from the previous step of moving that CG forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reason it works here is that Odyssey first solved the CG problem with the original Tri-Hot, packing 120 to 140 grams of tungsten into the face to push mass as far forward as possible.<\/p>\n

That foundation is what keeps the geometry clean and the setup natural when the shaft comes in from the heel. One step required the other.<\/p>\n

3. Same construction, same insert: While the spud moved, everything else stayed. The Tri-Hot SB runs the same aluminium-and-tungsten build as the original, with Odyssey\u2019s Ai Dual insert, which consists of two layers of urethane with Ai-designed RPM grooves cut at a 19-degree slope from vertical.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing that moved is the spud,\u201d Stubben said.<\/p>\n

The grooves are engineered for topspin and face-wide spin consistency, so heel and toe strikes stay in the same roll window as centre contact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Odyssey\u2019s zero-torque evolution has been methodical.
