Product Description
technology
The side that hits the ball is soft, while the inside is hard; two types of resin.
The "Ai-DUAL TRI-BEAM Putter," like the previously released Ai-DUAL Putter, is equipped with the Ai-DUAL insert, which was perfected after approximately 15,000 simulations and the creation of 72 different prototypes. Unlike the Ai-ONE insert and Ai-ONE Titanium insert, the Ai-DUAL insert is made entirely of resin, employing a structure with a soft resin on the side that hits the ball and a hard resin on the inside.
This insert not only provides consistent ball speed but also generates more forward spin.
The Ai-DUAL insert features a complex, winding shape at the boundary between the two resin layers, similar to the underside of the Ai-ONE insert. This design, developed by AI, focuses not only on the stable ball speed regardless of where the ball is struck, as seen in the Ai-ONE insert, but also on the spin imparted to the ball. Generally, due to the gear effect, a ball struck on the upper part of the face tends to have forward spin, while a strike on the lower part tends to have backspin. Naturally, this also affects the distance the ball rolls. The Ai-DUAL insert is designed to consistently impart forward spin regardless of where the ball is hit, whether on the upper or lower part of the face. Furthermore, because the lower part of the insert forms the same surface as the sole, the distinctive shape between the two resin layers, created by AI, can be seen more directly than in the Ai-ONE putter, which has a transparent polycarbonate window.
The grooves, which have an isosceles triangle-like cross-section, also contribute to the smooth rolling action due to forward spin.
The Ai-DUAL insert also features newly adopted grooves, the F.R.D (Forward Roll Design) grooves, which contribute to its smooth roll. Unlike the wave-like cross-section of the Ai-ONE insert, it has a unique shape consisting of a series of right-angled triangular indentations. The part that makes contact with the ball is angled at 19 degrees relative to the vertical.
Achieves a feel and sound closer to that of the White Hot Insert.
The Ai-DUAL insert pays even more attention to feel and sound. The Ai-ONE insert was developed to be similar to the White Hot insert, but even so, because it is made of resin and aluminum, some users said it was "harder than the White Hot insert" and "had a higher pitch." The Ai-DUAL insert is made only of resin, so it has a softer feel and is designed to have a lower pitch than the Ai-ONE insert. The adoption of the F.R.D groove, mentioned earlier, is also one of the factors that contributes to the improved feel.
The racket hosel prevents the face from shifting even on mishits.
The "Ai-DUAL TRI-BEAM Putter" features a unique triangular-shaped racket hosel, a design element that has been present since the original TRI-BEAM putter. The racket hosel supports a wider area of the head than a conventional neck, providing greater resistance to head wobble on off-center hits. To illustrate with a tennis racket, a racket with two shafts between the face and grip is said to have less face twist when the sweet spot is missed compared to a single shaft, making it easier to control the ball. The racket hosel is made with the same weight as a regular crank hosel to prevent the head's center of gravity from rising, and the vertically straight heel of the triangle allows for a natural and comfortable setup.
The ultimate combination of Ai-DUAL insert and racket hosel!
"Ai-DUAL TRI-BEAM" is born.
■【Features & Benefits】Two types of resin: soft on the side that hits the ball and hard on the inside: The "Ai-DUAL TRI-BEAM Putter" is equipped with the Ai-DUAL insert, which, like the previously released Ai-DUAL putter, was completed after approximately 15,000 simulations and the production of 72 prototypes. Unlike the Ai-ONE insert and Ai-ONE Titanium insert, the Ai-DUAL insert is made only of resin, employing a structure with soft resin on the side that hits the ball and hard resin on the inside. ■The "Ai-DUAL TRI-BEAM Putter" is a product that combines the racket hosel, which was first introduced in the "TRI-BEAM Putter," with the newly developed Ai-DUAL insert: Like the Ai-ONE insert, it maintains stability of ball speed even on off-center hits, and compared to conventional putters, it applies more forward spin (topspin) regardless of the point of impact, reducing the influence of the grain of the grass and slope, allowing you to aim for the cup with a thinner line (reading the curve less). It makes it easier to achieve the intended distance and direction, greatly increasing the chances of sinking the putt. In addition, the racket hosel is highly resistant to head wobble, resulting in a model that pursues ultimate forgiveness. ■There is a wide lineup, with a total of 10 different types available.
