    Going to do a putt off over the next 2 days or so, comparing me old Odyssey against the AI #1. I will putt from 15ft with 3 different balls.
    I'm going to keep track of the distances and provide an average of distance and off line dispersion. 
    You can see there is a difference in the size of the head as well as the insert, the AI is approximately 1/4in shorter than the other heel to toe.
    More to Come!

    Weather permitted,  I will be back at the course this Friday to perform some real feel testing across 3 types of balls again. Cheap, Supersoft, and prov1x

    I tried my best to keep the putts on the toe end of the insert, but I'm sure there were a couple that were just off the insert. They all still seemed to have rolled further than I expected. From my understanding the insert is made of urethane attached to the AI technology which provided additional speed off the toe compare to the old white hot face. My next review will be with the center hits, that will give me a better comparison and give a better answer then.

    Great day to roll some putts, this morning was 48* and with the light rain overnight made the green roll very nice.
    I rolled 80 total putts off the TOE of the AI#1 (40) and my old Odyssey (40). I have added the best photos of the dispersion and calculated some numbers with the results that I came up with for this review.
    I was putting from 15ft to the imaginary 3ft circle, putting one way uphill with left to right break, downhill with right to left break and finally some straight putts. I can tell you that there was a big difference in feel, speed and over all performance with the AI#1 compared to the old Odyssey, with AI#1 taking the Crown for this 1st test.
    The performance of the AI#1 was really impressive, putting from the Toe, I DID NOT feel any difference hitting it off the toe than I did hitting it on center. Seemed as the ball did not skid very much and started rolling almost immediately.
    The ball speed was very close to center strikes and seemingly kept the line that I was putting on, there were a couple putts I hit low on the putter face but still rolled out more than I thought they would.
    My old Odyssey, was a struggle to get the ball rolling well off the toe, distance control was inconsistent, at times felt like the the face twisted and I had to make a effort to roll the ball, almost felt as if I was guiding the ball to the hole while trying to keep it on line. not a good feeling.
    1. Speed- AI#1 speed was almost identical to center strikes with a couple operator errors hitting low on the putter face.
    2. Distance control- AI#1 overall was great, providing a tighter dispersion than the old putter.
    3. Feel- AI#1 toe putts felt the same as center strikes vs the old putter that was very inconsistent off the toe.
    Best dispersion photos below.
    Short- Old Odyssey averaged 18% short - AI#1 averaged 9.5% short of the hole. (My thought was the ball was going to stop, but kept rolling, so I would say that the AI insert technology did very well.) 
    Long- Old Odyssey averaged 11.5% longer - AI#1 averaged 10% going past the hole.
    Hope this review was informative, the AI#1 opened my eyes to how reliable the AI technology helped my putting off the toe.

    Went this morning after work to the course practice green, after a few warm up putts I completed the first head to head test of 3, today was the TOE test.
    Once I do the calculations I will post them later tonight from work along with photos of the dispersion showing the AI#1 compared to my old Odyssey divine line putter.
    Stay tuned Same BAT Channel Same Bat time!

    I have a different brand ramp, same thing though . And as long as I'm up the ramp, it's in the cup. I think I've only stuck the hole a handful of times.  It does help with roll pace though

    As I spend more time with the Ai-ONE 7s putter, here are some of my notes:
    1: the floor where I spend most of my time putting has a left to right break to it
    2: PuttOut and I have a different definition of a perfect putt…tend to like to die the ball the ball in the hole, trainer requires a bit more pace to “stick” in the micro target
    3: I really like this putter!

    Happy learned how to putt! It was cold but I had to get out an try this putter and I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!
    First impressions... Wow!! feels good and rolls the rock with consistency. 
    Hit about 70 putts today over at the Uniontown CC, Putt range varied from 6ft to 15ft.
    My initial putts had some speed control issues because of my stroke, but after about 15 putts I was able to roll it like I was in mid season form.
    I noticed that the ball didn't have very much skid prior rolling end over end, This putter has a 1.5* loft, I really like the lower loft, in the past I've dabbled with 0* to a negative1.0*. The loft on the AI#1 is perfect for me and configured perfectly with the setup of the overall scheme of the putter.
    A big surprise was the FEEL, whether struck toward the heel, toe or in the sweet spot, each put felt the same. I'm sure when you are using your old putters that you can tell there is a difference when you hit it on the heel, toe, center or even low on the putter face. This putter so far has eliminated that aspect so far but more to come on this subject.
    Here are 2 video links of the testing, I couldn't get the actual video to load even after shrinking them. Gave me an error message. Hope they work for everyone.
    Click the link and it will open a new window if not, Copy and paste the links into your browser then click the image of the video, it worked for me, hope it does for you.
    Added some photos of the course, even my mug shot! No Darts please!!

    Love the videos, have you noticed or could you tell if you hit it lower on the face at times? That gave me a louder sound than when hit flush.

    I know it’s not the final answer, but for me it is an indicator of the technology.  Looked at controlling what variables I could just for comparison at this point. 
    Getting comfortable with it that if I hit a 15 foot putt, the ball is going to go somewhere around 15 feet.
