What the Pros Play: Jon Rahm

The first putter that Rahm started using last year after joining Callaway was an Odyssey 2-Ball Ten, a large, high-MOI mallet putter with a boxy shape. The allure of that putter is a significant amount of its weight is back, away from the hitting area, in the heel and toe, making it extremely stable, especially on off-center hits.

Last season at The Memorial, however, Rahm added an Odyssey White Hot OG Rossie S that had been customized for him. The White Hot OG Rossie putters are semi-circular mallets designed with the White Hot insert that has been popular among pros and recreational golfers alike for two decades. However, while each of the White Hot OG Rossie putters available at retail has either two or three black alignment lines, Rahm’s has none.

Rahm’s putter also has a series of metal microhinges designed into the White Hot face insert. The microhinges debuted in 2017 and Odyssey claimed they helped to get the ball rolling, instead of skidding, more quickly. Rahm’s putter has Microhinge Star microhinges, which creates a firmer feel than previous versions and encourages the ball to come off the face quicker. Last June, when the putter went into Rahm’s bag, he felt he was leaving putts short, so this face configuration helped get more 8 to 10-foot putts to the hole.

The short slant-neck design creates about 30-degrees of toe hang, which is ideally suited for golfers who have a slight arc in their stroke.
