# Reactive Golf Clubs The Odyssey O-Works Microhinge Golf Putter Produces Perfect Shots By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-01-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-putter References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/odyssey-o-works-microhinge-putter/) & [odysseygolf](http://www.odysseygolf.com/families/o-works/) The Odyssey O-Works Microhinge Golf Putter is a new kind of [club design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/callaway-golf) that will help to make the [short game process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topgolf-shop) far easier by incorporating the natural movement of the body. It is far easier to roll a ball using your hand than to try and accurately hit it with a golf club, so this putter takes this notion into account. A series of tiny hinges are incorporated into the club in order to flex and rebound against the ball for a [perfect swing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newton-golf) every time. The Odyssey O-Works Microhinge Golf Putter is outfitted with a soft thermoplastic elastomer and is weighted with two units on the bottom. These features work together to create an experience that's more contoured and focused on exceptional performance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Reactive Putter Clubs:** The incorporation of tiny hinges in golf putter clubs allows for a more accurate and perfect swing every time. - **Natural Movement Golf Equipment:** Golf clubs designed to mimic the natural movement of the body make the short game process far easier and more intuitive. - **Performance-focused Golf Putters:** Golf putters that use soft thermoplastic elastomer and additional weights are more contoured and deliver exceptional performance. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports Equipment:** The sports equipment industry can explore the development and production of reactive putter clubs. - **Fitness and Recreation:** The fitness and recreation industry can offer natural movement golf equipment to golfers looking for a more intuitive golfing experience. - **Golf Manufacturing:** Manufacturers in the golf industry can focus on producing performance-focused golf putters to cater to the needs of avid golfers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Golfer Hockey Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odyssey-happy-gilmore-hockey-stick-putter.md) - [Carbon Steel Golf Putters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcraft-omoi.md) - [Adjustable High-End Golf Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x-gen5.md) - [Blacked-Out Golf Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scotty-cameron-b3-triple-black-design-ltd-putters.md) - [Precision Milled Golf Putters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bettinardi.md) - [AI-Powered Indoor Golf Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-putting-green.md) - [Japanese-Inspired Golf Club Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-club-line.md) - [Precision-Milled Wind-Ready Golf Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pxg.md) - [Weight-Optimized Golf Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stx-220.md)
