Why We Like It
To design its putter face Odyssey’s engineers looked to titanium for its light weight, strength and flexibility. They needed the face’s intricately varied indentations—designed through a range of artificial-intelligence simulations—to respond to every impact like a high-performance race car moving across an undulating road. These titanium faces have “micro-deflections” to direct energy to the ball for consistent distances.
Characteristics
- The varying thicknesses of the titanium face insert optimize distance control.
- Milled-titanium insert within a fully milled body yields a slightly firmer feel than the standard Ai One’s aluminum-polymer insert.
- Lightweight steel shaft has a back weight to improve stroke tempo.
- Six models across five head styles (Three T, Six T, Seven T, Eight T, Eleven T); double bend, crank hosel, slant neck options; head weight: 360 grams; lengths: 33-35 inches; loft: 3 degrees

Perfect weighting. Stroke this putter and the club will do the work. The compact head has some pop.
Ricky, 45, Handicap: +22 / 3
The ball glides true like a curling stone sliding down the ice. Great feel, but the roll quality is the big feature. The same result putt after putt.
Jason, 47, Handicap: 03 / 3
It sits perfectly at address, and that makes it easy to find the sweetspot. The insert provides a soft feel on short putts and a crisp snap on longer putts.
Jamie, 50, Handicap: 5The Secret Move to a Repeatable Putting Stroke
If you want to score well, you have to putt well. Being a good putter is part science, part art, and part luck. In this video, David Leadbetter shows you his essentials for getting more putts to drop, including his secret move for creating a reliable, repeatable stroke.
