I’m going to be a little vulnerable and share something with you. . . When I was a little kid and my dad first introduced me to the game of golf, I dreamed of playing golf against the best in the world. Of course, that meant playing on television someday, and getting paid to play somebody else’s equipment.
Suffice it to say those dreams have come to pass. I’m still a weekend warrior like the rest of us, and I pay for all my own equipment.
But I recently met the guys from Odin Golf and they told me all about how I could get paid to play their golf balls.
Don’t believe me? I’ll tell you in just a minute.
Key Features
- Earn sponsorship money with every dozen Odin golf balls you buy.
- Sponsorship money can be used on anything golf related.
- Quality golf balls cost a fraction of the price of premium balls.
Who Should Buy Odin Golf Balls?
If you’re a fan of country club pomp and circumstance, or turn your nose up at municipal golf culture, the Odin brand might not be for you.
However, if you think golf is a game that’s meant for everybody and should be as inclusive as possible, Odin wants you to be part of their family.
This brand prides itself on delivering products at a price everyone can afford. Not only that, but they give you sponsorship money you can spend on anything from green fees, to clubs, to beers at the 19th hole.
If that doesn’t sound like a winning combination to you, I don’t know what does.
Design and Technology
I’ll be honest, I was a little skeptical when I first heard about ODIN golf balls. Over the years, there have been countless companies that make balls promising to be as good as the premium brands that simply haven’t lived up to all the hype.
But after trying both these balls, I was more than pleasantly surprised with how well they performed.
ODIN X Golf Ball
The ODIN X ball is one that a number of the older guys in my regular group have switched to. This three-piece ionomer ball has low compression. That’s great for golfer’s with slower swing speeds as it not only helps them maximize distance, but promotes high launch conditions so you’re able to stop the ball on the green.
With that said, this ball still has a soft feel on and around the greens. It doesn’t feel like you’re putting with a rock.
ODIN X1 Golf Ball
If you’re a lower handicap with a faster than average swing speed, the ODIN X golf ball is for you.
This three-piece ball has a urethane cover which gives it a remarkably soft feel around the greens where you need it most.
High compression increases the spin properties of the ODIN X, so working the ball into those tucked flags and around doglegs is a lot easier than with other balls.
Golfers that have put the ODIN X into play say it’s quite comparable to the Pro V1X and Taylormade TP5.

- Price point is a fraction of other premium golf balls.
- Both balls are more durable than average.
- Money back with every purchase is something no other company offers.
- Balls aren’t the trusted choice by the biggest names in the game.
- White only color option may be a deterrent for golfers that like colored balls.
- Shipping times can vary based on current demand levels.
Specs
ODIN golf balls are purchased directly from the manufacturer. No middle man means these balls are a lot cheaper than the premium balls you’re used to buying in your local Pro Shop.
Both balls have three-piece construction and are quite durable. If you happen to bounce one off the cart path, chances are it’ll still be in good enough shape to keep playing.
There’s even an option for ball personalization.
The best part about the ODIN brand is that you get money back with every dozen balls you buy. You can use ODIN bucks on everything from green fees, to beverages at the turn, to more ODIN golf balls.
Our Experience
Like I said, I was more than a little skeptical when I first heard about ODIN golf balls. I mean the fact that I could get paid to play them was cool, but I had my doubts about how they’d perform.
I was in for a pleasant surprise. As someone that swings the club faster than I probably should, I chose to take the ODIN X1 out for a test drive.
I noticed a difference right away. Not only was this ball just as long (maybe longer) than the premium balls I normally play with, it was incredibly responsive on and around the greens. It felt great coming off the putter face and I played the same ball for multiple rounds. That never happens for me.
I’m all about the ODIN ball. For the price you pay, it more than performs well. And you get money back with every purchase. How cool is that?
