FEATURES & BENEFITS
By lengthening the vertical part,
- The biggest feature of the "GIRAFFE-BEAM Putter" is that it has a long neck with a longer vertical part of the crank hosel, as the name GIRAFFE = Kirin, as the name suggests. With a long neck, the shaft axis tends to point to the center of the face, which results in a center of gravity angle close to the face balance. For example, it can be said that the shape suits players who prefer a crank hosel × a blade putter, but also want the feeling of being able to make a straight stroke on an automatic.
The H-Shaped cross-section makes it resistant to hitting point shake and reduces weight
- The neck of the "GIRAFFE-BEAM Putter" is not just lengthened. The vertical part is slightly wider than a normal crank neck, and the cross-section is like the H-beam used for beams and columns in buildings. Due to this shape, the rigidity is very high, and even if it is hit off-center, it has the effect of suppressing the twisting of the face. At the same time, it is also possible to reduce the weight, and as a result, the neck of the "GIRAFFE-BEAM Putter" is reduced by up to about 14g depending on the model, compared to the conventional long crank neck, and the center of gravity of the head is not extremely high. In addition to the blade, it can be said that it is easy to match with large mallets that tend to have a high head weight.
Toe and heel of the sole are equipped with a weight of about 10gÂ
- The sole has a weight of about 10g each on the toe and heel near the face, so the "GIRAFFE-BEAM Putter" also achieves a high moment of inertia. Together with the long H-shaped neck, it reduces head shake when hitting off-center. In addition, the shallow center of gravity makes it easy to control the ball speed.
The face is made of traditional white hot inserts
- The GIRAFFE-BEAM putter is equipped with Odyssey's iconic white hot inserts. By using the same material as the ball cover, it goes well with the ball at impact, and achieves a soft yet firm rebound performance. With a pleasant hitting feel, a sound of hitting the ball, and a steady launch and rolling of the ball, the reliability and popularity of the tour have not changed even in the more than 20 years since its introduction. He has won many races around the world and continues to improve his record.
- As the name suggests, the "GIRAFFE-BEAM Putter" has a copper finish reminiscent of a giraffe, and it is also worth noting that the "GIRAFFE-BEAM Putter" has a design that reminds us of a giraffe. The logo uses an illustration of a giraffe, and the body has a copper finish that is close to the color of the giraffe's body, creating a sense of luxury. The sole is painted with a laser giraffe pattern, and the same pattern is used for the grip and head cover. There are four headlines available, all of which are paired with an all-steel STROKE LAB 90 shaft, which is used for the first time in an Ai-ONE putter.
