Oxygen storms the putter market with two product lines: the Oleander and the Trillium Putter, selling for $129 and $119, respectively. The Oleander Putter dramatically enhances the visual interpretation of a golf putt using break lines, while the Trillium is a traditional blade putter with incredible consistency and feels old-school.
One of the most neglected areas of the golf game by beginners is the putting green. The sad truth is that poorly made putters can and will sabotage short games and stunt potential growth. Having spent the last 30 years in the golf industry, I have used a lot of golf. I recently found a video online where professional PGA-certified golf instructors tested the Oxygen putter at the PGA merchandise show demo day in Orlando, Florida.
I became interested in this brand and decided to purchase and test the two lines. Upon further research, I discovered that The Golf Channel’s Matt Ginella chose Oxygen Putters as his ‘Best New Product’ at the PGA merchandise show. I also realized a buzz on forums like GOLFRX about what this putter model does to golfers’ short game.
In the rest of this article, I will walk you through a full review of Oxygen putters and all you need to know about these models to help you decide whether it’s worth your consideration.
Oxygen Putter Models
Currently, there are two models of the Oxygen putters:
- Oxygen Oleander Putter
- Oxygen Trillium Putter
The brain behind these duo putters is Bernie Fay, owner of The MISIG (Most Important Stretch In Golf), a golf stretching, swing training, and exercise or cardio device.
These sets stand out from the many options on the market because they are made with bone piano keys for a golf putter insert face, unlike the popular plastic insert face or metal or alloy aluminum, brass, or copper.
Also, these oxygen putters are made with sheepskin leather grips instead of rubber grips, which makes them feel softer and silkier. “It carries the feel of a putt through the hands much better than rubber,” Bernie says.

Using the Oxygen Oleander Putter
The most fascinating thing about the Oxygen Oleander putter has to be the brilliant visual interpretation design on the putter head that gives you a directional prediction of how your next golf putt will go on the green.
As you can see in the image below, the putter has raised three-dimensional putt break lines.
When you hit the ball directly on the face of the first line, the putt rolls straight and then breaks left to right late. Hitting the putt on the front of the second line will make it break left to right early, then move straight.
The third line will make the putt roll left to right and break over the entire putt, while hitting the ball on the face of the fourth line will give you a straight putt and a “double breaking” putt.
The fifth line on the Oleander putter head causes the putt to break right to left over the entire putt, while the sixth line causes the putt to break right to left early and then roll straight. When you hit the ball on the face of the seventh line, the putt rolls straight and then breaks right to the left.
See how the Oxygen Oleander putter works in the video below:

Using the Oxygen Trillium Putter
The Trillium golf putter features a solid 431 stainless steel head, CNC milled face, and concert-grade piano key insert face.
The CNC-milled microgroove face gives you a great forward roll on your ball to get your ball tracking toward the hole and minimize the deviation. If you like more stability in your putter head (the mallet style) or need to improve your putting, the Trillium model is an ideal option.
Like the Orleander putter, this model has a silky smooth real leader grip, which puts me in full control of my putting better than rubber grips.
What I like about this putter
- Ideal for those who still like the traditional blade-style putter
- Again, excellent feel and grip.
- Unique appearance and material design
- 60-day free returns
What I don’t like about this putter
- I couldn’t pinpoint a particular defect in this putter.
