The Odyssey Backstryke putter line is a very different design from the traditional head shapes the golfer is used to. The new design, called stroke balanced, has the shaft attached to the trailing edge of the putter which allows the golfer to clearly see the putter face and alignment aid. This design also helps the golfer strike the golf ball with a slightly upward stoke with a forward press, which will produce a smooth roll of the golf ball that will keep it on the intended target line.
