ODYSSEY Ai-ONE DOUBLE WIDE DB Putter with Stroke Lab Shaft (2023)

The hot topic! Introducing the AI-designed putter. ■Dramatically reduces ball speed loss! One of the problems with putting is the loss of ball speed when hitting off-center. Data suggests that a 1cm deviation in impact point toward the toe or heel reduces ball speed by approximately 20%, meaning that on a 10-meter putt, the putt will be 2 meters shorter. To address this issue, Odyssey has introduced a new AI design, already proven in Callaway face technology. Even with a 1cm deviation in impact point, the new "Ai-ONE" putter has been developed, minimizing ball speed loss to approximately 5% (50cm over 10 meters). ■Same feel as the White Hot insert. The insert in the "Ai-ONE" putter consists of an aluminum section with complex ridges designed by AI and a resin section at the impact surface. The resin face features grooves designed to mimic the feel and sound of a White Hot insert, achieving a similar feel. The AI insert features a stainless steel body with a dark blue PVD finish. The head is finished in dark blue PVD. To enhance the moment of inertia, approximately 15g screw weights are installed in the toe and heel of the sole. Odyssey's proprietary STROKE LAB shaft has also been completely redesigned to match the newly developed steel STROKE LAB 90 shaft and Ai-ONE putter. While the previous model featured a steel and carbon composite shaft, tour players expressed a preference for a steel shaft, but also expressed a desire for the stability of a STROKE LAB shaft. The new STROKE LAB 90 shaft achieves a lightweight steel shaft weighing in at around 90g, while the butt section is the same thickness as the previous STROKE LAB shaft, reducing torque. This prevents unnecessary shaft movement during the stroke. A counterweight is also installed inside the shaft near the grip, increasing the moment of inertia of the entire putter during the stroke.
