Carbite Golf “The Big Otey” Review:
| Setup & Alignment |   Hard-Avg-Easy |
|
| The Carbite Big Otey putter sets up very square to the intended target line. The head design features a unique sight line of brass and aluminum with a bright white line. The double bend shaft aids in aligning the golf ball providing an unobstructed view. | ||
|
||
| Feel | Soft-Avg-Crisp |
|
| The feel of the putter was very soft giving excellent feedback up the shaft and into the hands on well struck putts. The balance is good with even weight distribution across the large mallet head design. | ||
|
||
| Performance | Less-Avg-More |
|
| The Carbite Big Otey putter was a solid performer both on the practice green and the course. We found that off-center hits were not penalized much at all in direction and only slightly so in terms of distance. The weight distribution of the putter gets the ball rolling quickly minimizing skidding. The brass moves weight to the face of the club as well and serves to expand the sweet spot for putts which enhances the putter’s performance. | ||

||
| Looks | ||
“The Big Otey” is a large mallet style putter with brass insert and alignment aid. The head design features an aluminum body with milled weight distribution. The brass insert and aluminum body contrast nicely. |
