Tennis Racket Design, Head Twist Prevention
6 Diverse Lineups from Blade to Mallet

‘Tennis Racket Design’.

This is the new putter TRI-BEAM (photo) from Callaway Golf Odyssey. The name is a compound of ‘Tri’ from Triangle, referring to a triangle shape, and ‘Beam,’ meaning a pillar that supports the framework and load of a building.

The core feature of the TRI-BEAM is the ‘racket hosel.’ It is inspired by the triangular design of a tennis racket. It connects to the head much more broadly than typical products, providing strong support. Even when putting off the sweet spot, it prevents the head from twisting. The triangular-shaped hosel is designed as a beam type to keep the head’s center of gravity low. The heel part, which is hosel-less, is vertically designed to offer a stable setup comparable to a regular putter without any awkwardness during setup.

The Korea Institute of Sports Industry Technology (KIGOS) conducted a comparative test between the TRI-BEAM putter and a regular putter. The test involved robot putting set at 3 meters. They compared the differences in distance and direction when hitting the toe and heel. The regular putter deviated by 11.7 to 31.2 cm in distance and 5.9 to 10 cm in direction. In contrast, the TRI-BEAM putter recorded deviations of 2.6 to 3.7 cm in distance and 0.6 to 1.6 cm in direction. Both distance and directional accuracy showed excellent results.

Domestic male players in Korea have shown great interest in the TRI-BEAM putter. Before its release, players such as Ham Jeong-woo, Maeng Dong-seop, and Ok Tae-hoon used it. There are a total of six models, ranging from blade to mallet styles. Callaway Golf stated, "The TRI-BEAM is already a hot topic putter attracting significant attention among tour players," and confidently recommended it to golfers who want to dramatically reduce their scores on the green.
