July 27, 2016 – Odyssey Golf has launch the X-Act Tank Chipper, a club that will make the short game a whole lot easier for golfers.

Built to get golfers ‘up-and-down’ more easily, the X-Act Tank Chipper is a new short game option that utilises Odyssey’s Tank weighting philosophy to help ensure a smoother swing, promoting more consistent contact.

It is designed to function like an ‘Approach Putter’, providing an easy-to-hit option that plays perfectly between a putter and a wedge for those tricky shots around the greens.

Hi Def Marxman Alignment significantly increases accuracy while the soft polymer face insert and hybrid-like sole design help get the ball out of trouble and rolling right to the hole.

HOW TO PLAY IT THE X-ACT TANK CHIPPER

• Pitch shot: 15 yards off the green, intended to roll the same distance it flies.
• Chip shot: 3-5 yards off the green, rolling about double the distance that if flies.
• Bump ‘n run: With a yard or less of trajectory, then rolling the remaining distance.

KEY FEATURES

Heavy Tank Design: The heavier 355g head weight helps ensure a smoother swing to promote more consistent contact. The heavier grip gives a counterbalance feel that helps quieten the hands through impact.

X-Act Sole: Hybrid-like sole design improves turf interaction around the green, especially on tight lies, to help eliminate stubbed or bladed chip shots.

Polymer Insert: The single layer polymer insert provides soft feel for both long and short shots around the green.

Hi Def Marxman Alignment System: Two alignment stripes running the length of the club make lining up shots easier, for better accuracy.

SuperStroke Chipper Grip: The oversized, non-taper grip design helps stabilise the wrists and hands through impact. The longer design also allows golfers to put their hands in different positions to get the correct feel on a variety of shots.

Versions: Men’s loft 37º, lie 70º, length 35.5”, right and left handed; Women’s loft 37º, lie 70º, length 34.5” (right-handed only).
