This tour-defining shape is now available in a new lineup with different alignments and necks. The Ai-ONE putter lineup includes four new models, all featuring the JAILBIRD-style heads that have become popular on the US tour. The JAILBIRD MINI VERSA90 CH Putter and JAILBIRD MINI VERSA90 DB Putter feature alignment with white and navy stripes along the ball flight line, and each features a crank hosel and double-vent neck. The remaining two, the JAILBIRD MINI CH Putter and the JAILBIRD MINI S Putter, feature the traditional VERSA alignment and also feature different necks. Of course, both models feature the Ai-ONE insert, which minimizes ball speed loss on mishits, and a polycarbonate window in the front of the sole allows users to view the complex ridges created by AI. The putters are available in two lengths: 33 inches and 34 inches. [Features & Benefits] ■ VERSA90 alignment with a band along the ball flight line. Four JAILBIRD MINI putters are being added to the Ai-ONE putter lineup. The crank-hosel JAILBIRD MINI VERSA90 CH Putter and the double-bent neck JAILBIRD MINI VERSA90 DB Putter feature a VERSA90 alignment system, which uses navy on the toe and heel with a thick white band in the center, rather than the traditional VERSA alignment with white and navy bands along the toe and heel. While previous models made it easy to check the square angle to the target, the VERSA90 makes it easier to accurately set the club in line with the target and to stroke. ■ There are now three types of putters equipped with the standard VERSA alignment. The remaining two models are the crank-hosel JAILBIRD MINI CH Putter and the short-slant neck JAILBIRD MINI S Putter. The Ai-ONE Putter already includes the JAILBIRD MINI with a double-bent neck, but two new models with different necks have been added. ■AI-designed insert minimizes ball speed loss. The Ai-ONE Putter features an AI-designed insert with a complex ridged aluminum part layered on the underside of the resin part on the impact side. While a 1cm deviation in the impact point to the toe or heel typically reduces ball speed by approximately 20% (2m shorter on a 10m putt), the effect of the ridged aluminum part minimizes ball speed loss by approximately 5% (50cm shorter on a 10m putt). The resin face also features grooves, which are designed to mimic the feel and sound of the White Hot insert, ensuring the actual feel is on par with the White Hot insert. ■A window is also provided to allow a view of the shape of the underside of the face. The Ai-ONE Putter incorporates a technology never before seen in clubs or putters, allowing players to enjoy the difference in technology. These four new models feature a transparent polycarbonate window at the front of the sole, allowing players to see the intricate AI-designed ridges formed on the back of the insert. ■Stroke Lab 90 shaft, made entirely of steel. All four models feature a STROKE LAB 90 shaft. Despite being made entirely of steel, it weighs in at around 90 grams and features a thicker butt section. By reducing torque, it suppresses unnecessary shaft movement during the stroke. A counterweight is also installed inside the shaft near the grip. Combined with the lightweight shaft, this increases the moment of inertia of the entire putter, providing players with a consistent and stable stroke. These four models are available in 33-inch and 34-inch lengths.
