WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Odyssey Golf has released its all-new family: Ai-ONE Square 2 Square with zero torque. These new models are designed to be the best zero torque putters in the market and on tour with a modern centre-shafted design that helps keep the putter square throughout the stroke, combined with some of the company’s most successful head shapes, and the Ai-ONE insert for more consistent ball speeds across the face.

PRICE & AVAILABILITY: $499.99 (NZ RRP: $569.99). In stores from November 29.

3 Cool Things

1. Zero Torque: Zero torque is one of the hottest trends in putting. There are lots of options, but only Odyssey delivers their most successful Tour-proven shapes (Jailbird, #7, and Double Wide) with an Ai-ONE Insert for more consistent ball speeds across the face.

Ai-ONE Square 2 Square Putters feature a modern centre-shafted design that makes them Stroke Balanced, so they want to stay square throughout a golfer’s stroke. These putters are ideally suited for golfers looking to minimize their face rotation when they putt.

2. Going against tradition: Odyssey positions the shaft just above the head’s centre of gravity for a putter that rests with the toe up, which is the opposite of a traditional putter with toe hang. This design promotes a square face throughout the stroke.

Ai-ONE Square 2 Square Putters provide built in forward press as well. The 3.3 degrees of forward shaft lean presets the hands in a forward press position, eliminating the opening of the face that often happens when golfers forward press.

3. Keeping that White Hot feel: Additionally, the Ai-ONE Insert is engineered with contours on the aluminium backer of the insert, which are co-moulded to a White Hot Urethane striking surface to promote consistent ball speed across the face with the classic White Hot feel that Tour players and amateurs love.

Plus, the lightweight steel SL 90 shaft offers 20-30 grams (depending on the grip) of counterbalance weight in the butt end for more stability throughout the stroke.

What they said

“Our new Odyssey Ai-ONE Square 2 Square Putters are built to deliver zero torque, only better,” said Odyssey general manager and Callaway vice-presidents 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.”

Odyssey Ai-ONE Square 2 Square Putters will be available at authorised retailers starting November 29. They will be offered in Jailbird, #7, and Double Wide shapes. For more information, visit odysseygolf.com.au
