The Odyssey Ai-ONE is a putter line Odyssey released in November 2023, and its main change is an insert designed with artificial intelligence to help putts struck off center keep more of their speed. The standard Ai-ONE pairs a White Hot urethane face with a contoured aluminum back, while the Ai-ONE Milled uses a titanium insert in a milled stainless steel head. GolfRoots usually has a few dozen used Ai-ONE putters listed in blade, mid mallet and mallet shapes.
How the insert works
Odyssey used the same AI design and supercomputing process it had applied to driver faces. The result is an insert with a varying contour pattern on its back side. That pattern is meant to reduce speed loss when the ball is struck toward the heel or toe, and Odyssey says it lets putts finish up to 21 percent closer to the hole. On the standard model, the aluminum back section is co-molded to a grooved White Hot urethane front, so the feel at impact is close to what Odyssey players know from White Hot putters. The Ai-ONE Milled models put a titanium insert into a stainless steel head with a blue PVD finish and interchangeable sole weights.
Head shapes in the line
The first Ai-ONE models went on sale November 3, 2023, including the #1, Double Wide DB, Rossie S, #7 S and #7 CH. A second group followed in February with shapes like the #2, Double Wide CH, Rossie DB, 2-Ball DB and Jailbird Mini. The Milled line used T names such as the One T, Three T, Six T and Seven T. The letters after a model name describe the neck: DB is double bend and CH is crank hosel.
Common questions
Is the Ai-ONE the same as a White Hot putter?
Not exactly. The standard Ai-ONE uses White Hot urethane on the face, but that urethane is co-molded to an aluminum back with the AI designed pattern, which is what separates it from earlier White Hot inserts.
What is the difference between Ai-ONE and Ai-ONE Milled?
The Ai-ONE uses the White Hot urethane and aluminum insert. The Ai-ONE Milled has a milled stainless steel head, a titanium insert and adjustable weights. New, the standard model was $299.99 and the Milled was $449.99.
