Odyssey Golf has announced details of its new Ai-ONE Square 2 Square family of putters.
Zero torque is one of the hottest trends in putting and the Odyssey team has combined the concept with tour-proven shapes (Jailbird, #7, and Double Wide) and an Ai-ONE Insert for more consistent ball speeds across the face.
The putters (RRP £289) also feature a centre-shafted design that makes them statically balanced, so they want to stay square throughout the putting stroke – ideal for players who want to minimise face rotation when they putt. Centring the shaft on the CG plane results in putters that rest with the toe up – opposite of a traditional putter with toe hang – promoting a square face throughout the stroke.
The new family of putters also provide built-in forward press, with 3.3° of forward shaft lean to eliminate the opening of the face that often happens when golfers forward press.
The Ai-ONE Insert is engineered with contours on the aluminium backer, which is co-moulded to a White Hot Urethane striking surface to promote consistent ball speeds across the face.
Plus, the lightweight steel SL 90 shaft offers 20-30g (depending on the grip) of counterbalance weight in the butt end for more stability throughout the stroke.
“Our new Odyssey Ai-ONE Square 2 Square putters are built to deliver zero torque, only better,” said Odyssey general manager and Callaway VP of Global Product Strategy Jacob Davidson. “We’ve seen the momentum in this emerging category both in the market and on tour, and we couldn’t be more excited to introduce these new models. The combination of our centre shaft, iconic shapes, and our Ai-ONE Insert should set Square 2 Square apart for players who want to improve their putting performance.”
