    Sorry Guys, haven't been feeling my best the past week or so. I did get out yesterday since there was no ran and 62*, I did a test I call the ladder test where you start at 3ft and move back every time you make a putt but it you miss you got to make the 2nd to retry from that spot and if you end up three putting you start all over, I managed to get back to 24ft without issue then 27ft happened, I blew the first putt about 10ft by the hole.. (user went brain dead) lipped out the comebacker and sink the 3rd try. I started over at 3ft again and was able to finish with only the one 3 putt. 
    I heard the the PGA Pros have a great chance of 3 putting from 32ft and beyond, if the AI#1 helped me this much, I'm just thinking how much more it will help over the next months/years.

    Maybe mine was a coating issue, as it revealed itself pretty early on. Havent had any new wear off show up though, and it's only on the backside edge, and hasn't gotten any worse either.
    And yes, I had a great day running that putter up and down the Greenway!

    I have not had any issues with the finish on mine…I keep the cover on it unless I have it out for putting.  With the 7S, I have used it too many times to count to “scoop” the ball or bring it back to position and haven’t seen any wear on it.
    I was definitely worried about the finish to start, but it has held up on mine.

    Looks like you had a great all around, knocking down the flag stick and from Incould see a good day rolling the rock. Keep it up!
    Hey guys, have you notice anymore of the blue finish coming off. I haven’t had any issues so far… crossing my fingers.

    I’ve enjoyed all the reviews!  It’s helped me get through the dog days of winter up here.  I’m looking forward to the review and thank you for all your efforts.

    Spent some time putting inside this evening with the Ai-ONE…the ball is so consistent off the face.  I might try to get in a quick round Sunday if the weather cooperates (not looking too good right now)…if I can’t, it will be some more indoor putting while preparing the final review.
    Final decision on if the putter fills the empty slot in the bag, although it probably won’t be a big surprise if you’ve read my previous posts.

    Much like @Willie T I too played some golf today! forecast was for rain at 50% or better throughout the day. Buddy decided to not go to his hunting camp amd asked if i wanted to play...  DUH!!!! 😆 
    Used the DB exclusively and had an amazing day.  Quite a few astounding putts were rolled out today for sure!  Dsng near had my first ace too!!! (Hit the flag stick about 7 inches above the cup)
    Here is a quick video of the moments I was able to capture. Wish I was able to get more!

    26 Jan 24 update: Today was my last test round with Millie.  My son and I played Minnesott as temps were in the 70's (one of those rare Jan days we get in Eastern NC).  Greens were quick as they had just rolled them so pace was the word of the day.  Too little and it would die short, too much and you would be easily 10' or more past.  Millie had her work cut out and did not disappoint.  I was not seeing the breaks and at times overseeing today as I easliy had 7 putts that were between 2' and 5' past.  I also had near misses that finished less than 12" from the hole for tap ins.  The confidence that the putts will come off the face consistently and roll to where I am seeing is there.  The best roll of the day was a 42 footer that was 3yds off the green (in the fairway) that literally lipped out with a 6" leave.  Millie had a good day....soon the rest of the story as I plan to complete my final wrap-up review over the weekend to publish next week.  
    It has been a blast reading all the comments and as @Rob Person has asked - if you have questions, let us testers know.

    I went with the Super Stroke Zynergy Pistol 2.0 , i.e. the current version of what is on the Versa (the putter I was gaming prior to the test).  In terms of balance, feel, etc - the new grip felt amazingly familiar.  I felt that elminating a variance in grip would keep all the focus on the face differences.  It has been a great test season with the putter.....

    I went with the stock Odyssey pistol grip and really like the size of it.  It felt a little slick to me out of the box, but seems to have more grip to it now after using it for a while.  There are others in the test that choose different grips based on preference, would be interested to see if they were happy with performance of the putter.
    I like the weight of the stock Ai, don’t have any issues at this time.  With the feel and results to date, I would be reluctant to change anything.

    Nothing wrong with the grip, it stays tacky, but smooth at the same time. Also it has a counter balance built into the too. I really enjoy the smooth swing feel it provides.  As far as bottom weights, I'll continue to play around with adding or removing 5g at a time at both ends until it feels like it helps reduce torque on the follow through.  The rest will be in my final review!

    In comparison to your old putter.  How do you like the weight and grip on the Ai putter?  If the Ai stays in your bag will you be getting a weight kit and or changing the grip?

    My number one bucket list course would obviously be Augusta National, but since that's not a reasonable ask, the next would be the tournament course at TPC Sawgrass.

    I’ve played my 2 top bucket list courses 3 times each, Royal Melbourne West and Cape Wickham, so my next bucket list would have to be The Old Course. I’ve walked around it( on a Sunday) and raked a bunker. My daughter is spending 6 months in Scotland this year and I’m planning a Europe trip so might be a chance.
