“Odyssey’s limited edition Jailbird 380 is built to the exact specs and design features of the major-winning model that everyone’s been talking about.
“It features proven Versa high contrast black and white alignment that accentuates the face angle from address to impact, for confidence throughout the stroke.
“Our unique Jailbird mallet shape has been a popular choice on Tour with its unique design that helps to frame the ball.

Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380 Putter Design & Specs
The Jailbird model was added to the White Hot Versa range from June 2023 by popular demand after Wyndham Clark, Keegan Bradley and Rickie Fowler all won with the putter.
They triumphed in consecutive weeks, winning the US Open, Travelers Championship and Rocket Mortgage Classic respectively.
It is built to tour-spec and feature the distinctive black and white versa colour scheme on a large mallet head.
The Jailbird is longer in the length than other models in the Versa series, has a longer grip at 17 inches and also has a heavier steel shaft too with a single bend hosel.
The idea behind this putter is to offer players the option to grip down and have more control over the putting stroke and feels.
The Jailbird putter has Odyssey’s original microhinge insert, while the overall weight is reduced by a hole in the cavity back.
The latest Odyssey White Hot face insert offers solid ball striking, pure roll on the ball and consistency on the greens, and the putter head features three-dot alignment.
Verdict: Is the Odyssey Jailbird 380 putter any good?
The proof is in the winning with Wyndham Clark, Keegan Bradley and Rickie Fowler underlining the benefits of this design.
The latest black and white design not only looks good but also performs incredibly well on the greens too with impressive roll and control.
There are plenty of benefits from the colour scheme in terms of helping alignment and the large mallet head inspires a lot of confidence too. This is a seriously impressive putter.
