Features
Never Compromise, a division of Cleveland Golf, makes and designs the Voodoo Putter, which features innovative technology. Its a face-balanced mallet putter that has installed stabilizer bars on the toe and heel to increase the distance from the face to the rear of the putter. This increase gives the putter a higher moment of inertia and creates the lowest center of gravity of any of the Never Compromise putters. The putter also features an extended sight line. The market price begins at $225.
Identification
This Voodoo putter comes in a gray/black/gray color scheme, and the grip is black with the Never Compromise and the Cleveland Golf logo on it. It's made of aluminum alloy, the same material Voodoo uses to make all its putters.
Benefits
This putter is the most beneficial for putts within six feet, but it can handle any distance from the hole with ease. The long, lagging putts take some getting used to because of the stabilizer bars and the differential weight throughout the putter head. Most golfers will see reduced backspin on putts as well as more ease standing over the ball because the weight is distributed more evenly.
Comparisons
The Never Compromise Voodoo Putter and the line's other mallet putters are the most similar to any of Odyssey's 2-ball putters. With the Voodoo's extended and round head and large heel, it has a similar shape and weight to a 2-ball putter. The most similar will be Odyssey's White Hot XG line. Any golfer should take the time to compare this putter with others, not only Odyssey, but other lines as well.
Considerations
Any avid golfer should try this putter at least once because it features new and modern technology specifically designed for putters by Cleveland Golf and Never Compromise. With every passing year, new golf technology and product lines become available, so golfers should always know what's out there. It's important to keep in mind that Never Compromise is a line that is no different, and this Voodoo putter is part of a line that focuses on weights and new putter head designs. So if a golfer decided to use this club in a round, he should practice with it first to make sure it's the putter that really does improve his game.
