Odyssey uses AI: The new Ai-DUAL Putters feature intelligent insert design to enhance ball speed and putting precision.
Odyssey, a subsidiary of Callaway, has expanded its putter line with the new Ai-DUAL models, combining material innovation and novel design. Central to these is the Ai-DUAL insert, a two-layer urethane component developed using artificial intelligence. It consists of a soft outer layer and a firmer inner layer, designed to deliver consistent ball speed across the face and enhanced forward roll. The insert is complemented by the new Forward Roll Design (FRD) groove, which is deeper and more pronounced with a 19-degree tilt to promote a more uniform forward roll across the face.
AI-Driven Designs Also for Entry-Level Putters
The Ai-DUAL putters come in various versions. The standard models feature a lightweight steel shaft with counterweight at the grip end to stabilize the stroke. For those preferring different balance, Odyssey offers Cruiser variants with heavier heads, longer and heavier shafts, and longer grips.
The Odyssey Ai-DUAL Square 2 as a Zero-Torque Putter
An extension of the line, the Ai-DUAL Square 2 Square putters feature a modern, mid-mounted shaft design positioning the shaft below the center of gravity, causing the putter tip to rest slightly upward and achieving a “Zero Torque” effect. This keeps the face relatively square through the stroke. Additionally, these models have a preset two-degree forward shaft lean to prevent accidental face opening from hand pressure. A specially designed reverse-taper grip balances this setup, allowing a comfortable, parallel alignment of grip and face.
