Damascus Grand by Odyssey Golf
via ebay.com
Price Tag: $6,750
We get our ridiculously expensive putter list started with this spectacular looking Odyssey putter made of pure Damascus steel. According to Wikipedia, Damascus steel was a type of steel used for manufacturing sword blades in the Near East made with wootz steel. These swords were characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Such blades were reputed to be tough, resistant to shattering and capable of being honed to a sharp, resilient edge. The steel is named after Damascus, the capital city of Syria.
It also uses Tungsten Flange Technology which lowers and deepens the center of gravity for a truer roll. This work of art also includes a Winn grip, leather headcover, and certificate of authenticity. This is only one of 15 that were ever produced.
