Odyssey Ai-ONE Milled Putters - 2023 Forum Review


GolfSpy BOS

Recommended Posts

After looking at the results from my most recent outdoor putting test, I began to notice that my more common miss with the Bettinardi was to the right and the Odyssey was either dead on or slightly left. These were when putting a fairly straight putt with little to no break. I did a little digging to see whether toe hang would make a difference in putting tendencies. As I suspected, it does, but the manner in which it effects the putt is also very dependent on the person. In other words, get fitted to determine which putter will work best for you 😎

I have used a blade putter all my life so I always suspected that is what was best for me. It was just comfortable. But this past summer a friend of mine made a comment about my stroke on a putt I missed to the right of the hole. I thought I just misread the break but he had asked if I meant to hit it to the right of where I had been originally aiming. I was puzzled because I didn't feel like I missed it right.

980D77E0-6F0B-4A94-837C-1530B49A86DE_1_201_a.jpeg.08bf1930c48a4934e38628f060ebf4e7.jpegB77BD766-643D-4887-9C65-CDFF4F4176C2_1_201_a.jpeg.d364992c6198b5712effb779c0845f86.jpeg

After measuring the toe hang on each putter, the results I'm seeing are beginning to make a little more sense. The Odyssey is 22º as advertised and the Bettinardi is almost 45º which is what they claim it to be as well. The Scotty measured around 53º. The videos I've been watching on YT talk a lot about how toe hang can lead to either open or closed face at contact depending on how you swing. A little more attention in this area is going to be needed but it appears I have a swing path that work better with less toe hang. Back to work I go!

Sorry everyone for the lack of Updating i was on Vacation And the whole time it was GO GO GO i did get to play a little and i knocked off one of my bucket list courses image000000.jpg.c46b2c99fe65393d57d602f6d4526c03.jpgimage000002.jpg.da1618db6c567dd8f9c5defef3d1686f.jpgimage000001.jpg.bbed20cb79ea7be879ad5ee55e870e05.jpg

and to say i was not ready to play it but man it was beautiful ( Before you ask NO i did not land the green on 17 my ball decided he want to go hang in the water with the other balls) I shot a 98 though so no complaints not my best day but i had a blast! i also got to play some putt putt using my putter IMG_1012.jpg.65f28b8bea959663ad6154b1822fb2ca.jpgIMG_1014.jpg.4383e8c61e0a38baa829b7f10ef9c211.jpgIMG_1015.jpg.7895c335102d6ef20e2cdc4448d8d1cf.jpgand through all of that i will say this putter is so reliable i feel like i was not always hitting the center but it never really effected me. Looking down at the putter i feel so confident and i can say that i played a tour level course and green and only 3 putted twice was huge for me all in all it was a great vacation but now im ready to really put this putter through some testing ( Sorry about the lack of pics at TPC going into it i was like im going to take lots of pics and videos but pace of play was pretty fast so i was on the move the whole time Thank you all and i hope you had a Happy Holidays

That's awesome!  Glad you had a nice vacation and got to play Sawgrass! only two 3-putts is an accomplishment for sure.  One day I will get down there for a round!

Having a caddie in are group defiantly helped with the green reading there probably would have been a lot more if it wasn't for him

@Blaine Dye that is incrediincre ! Glad you enjoyed it all! And I too took DB for a mini golf round or two!  (Don't forget to post this in the other Ai-One thread too!)

WITB-Foremost 551's - 3w, 5w, 5-SW (circa 1998), Top Flite 460cc Driver, Adam's 7w, Warrior GW and 60⁰, Odyssey AI-One DB putter.

Another round completed today at men's league.  77 gross/73 net, earning me a T7... I've got to find some easier competition 😆The Seven T CH was rolling them well, only needing 30 putts and no 3 putts 👍.  I picked up a new grip fro my Evnroll ER5v but haven't felt the need to install it... yet.

Makes me a tad jealous seeing you guys post rounds with your Odyssey. Hoping I can at least sneak in one round before this is all said and done because all the signs indicate that I too won’t need a new grip for my Bettinardi anytime soon 😎

Yea, a few of you out of both test groups have been a bit weather challenged.  It's supposed to rain here tonight if that helps any? 😊

And down here, rain is like snow... we all run for cover or just don't play 🫠.  We've got a decent system moving through shortly and giving us some much needed mositure, but the 24 hour loop shows we'll be dry for tomorrow morning's round... absolutely no rest for the weary 😉.

I never thought I'd ever live here but, except for a couple months in the summer, it does have its advantages.  Oh but my fly fishing... I really do miss that.

Jan 3 update - Got to play a sister course to my home course today.  The greens here are 180* different from the flatter greens of the home course.  How do the Ai One Milled 7 DB fare?  Amazingly confident - even though the greens were quick and undulated.  Can we say severe roll by (operator miscues)?  I want to play the course again as it presented a strong challenge to pace control.  Overall the Ai One’s milled face instilled confidence, and informed me of less than optimal strikes….time to analyze notes made today (lots of notes)….

WITB? Ping G400 SFT w/Aldila Mamba shaft R flex; Ping G410 3w; Ping G400 3h(19), 4h(22), 5h(26); TaylorMade SLDR 5i (interchanges w/5h)-PW -stock graphite shafts Rflex; INDI FLX-S wedges (50, 54, 58) w/Recoil graphite shafts -Rflex and Odyssey AI-One 7T BD Milled (aka Millie), ball choice tends to be Pro-V1 or simliar 3pc urethane balls.

Don't know for sure but I suspect much less effort has gone into putter technology in past decades and only more recently become a focus for the various design teams. I mean putting is hugely important but from a magnitude perspective mishits on putters don't end up OB or in hazards. 

Players have LOADS more difficulty with drivers, woods, and irons, so it seems that's been the focus in recent decades.  Now having finely honed forgiveness and distance in those arrows, OEM's are turing attention to putters.  Is my thinking on this wonky? Thoughts?? 🤔

Unless Callaway has captured some IP (patents), it would not surprise me in the least to see more AI design theme putters, from other OEM's, hit the market.

fixurdivot, I think that there will be copy cats to the AI putter from other manufacturers coming sooner then we think, will they have as much success achieving the standards set by Callaway's Odyssey AI? I don't think so, I think they will try to create an insert where they may use different material for the heel and toe to produce the same distance as center strikes, using the same thickness across the face of the insert. Your thoughts are definitely driving down the right fairway.

I completed a series of tests with the AI-ONE 6 putter and I wanted to share the results, which were very interesting to me. First, the methodology I was using.

7’ - 100 putts, 5’ - 100 putts, 3’ - 50 putts, 1’ - 25 putts. (5 balls at a time to allow walking back and forth and reset)

The two putters being used for this are the AI-ONE Milled 6 and White Hot XG #8 blade style. I have always liked blade styles better and really, haven’t even wanted to try a mallet until recently. So, this was a departure from my normal tendencies.

IMG_5914.jpeg.180b0e70a0c72c517809a2311835819b.jpeg

IMG_5916.jpeg.6308639cbbf90c010141d2ac382796bb.jpeg

Each of these has a unique aiming style. I have found the AI-ONE to be VERY easy to set the alignment. And one thing to mention here is that the toe hang is exactly the same between these two putters.

image001.png.0c784b820b917fdf57f939ba6f54d82b.png

The performance between these two is no contest. I had originally thought how this might play on the course, which would only really give me about 36+ putts unless I took a little extra time on each green. While I am itching to see how this really performs out there on grass, this test was solid in that I had many mis-hit and off center strikes.

IMG_5917.jpeg.73040b0ebab0b75eb0547ccb8f1850ac.jpeg

The 1’ mark was a wash. 100% for both however I did notice some substantial differences that I want to share:

1. Alignment - alignment was so much easier with the AI-ONE

2. Consistency - great distance on off center strikes

3. Feel - AI-ONE - more launch / smooth - little noticeable feel difference for off center strikes. XG #8 - less launch unless perfect strike - really feel off center hits - less distance

IMG_5915.jpeg.0fcc644d031b57117ff856b13348b904.jpeg

Even though I don’t think this style of putter is my preference, I cannot argue with the results I am seeing.

What’s Next?

More putting of course. I will be taking this to another indoor facility for more testing and hopefully, some first impressions by random people. A “Man on the Street” kind of feedback.

Cheers ⛳

I went through a tour van putter fitting about 2 weeks ago and was fit into the Ai-One Milled Six T (coming from a Phantom X 12). Totally not the style/putter I was anticipating fitting into. I know it is the milled version, but in the past I never loved the Whitehot insert. So, the Ai's were not even on my radar. But I loved the delivery and the feel and the numbers showed it. After testing several options it was a clear winner. The putter arrived 2-3 days ago and the more I eye it over and putt with it, I love it more. Totally would recommend giving the Ai-One Milled line a roll.IMG_2496.jpg.3055104f4899b25ad8b32b1d124fdbfc.jpg

Nice test and results. Need to look around and see if I can find a place with an indoor practice area, or even a place they let customers test out putters and see if they will let me use their space. Looks like a couple weeks before I see another warm up and can get outside.

I completed a series of tests with the AI-ONE 6 putter and I wanted to share the results, which were very interesting to me. First, the methodology I was using.

7’ - 100 putts, 5’ - 100 putts, 3’ - 50 putts, 1’ - 25 putts. (5 balls at a time to allow walking back and forth and reset)

The two putters being used for this are the AI-ONE Milled 6 and White Hot XG #8 blade style. I have always liked blade styles better and really, haven’t even wanted to try a mallet until recently. So, this was a departure from my normal tendencies.

IMG_5916.jpeg.6308639cbbf90c010141d2ac382796bb.jpeg

Each of these has a unique aiming style. I have found the AI-ONE to be VERY easy to set the alignment. And one thing to mention here is that the toe hang is exactly the same between these two putters.

image008.png.8039cecd4c0501d0024948aac004765e.png

The performance between these two is no contest. I had originally thought how this might play on the course, which would only really give me about 36+ putts unless I took a little extra time on each green. While I am itching to see how this really performs out there on grass, this test was solid in that I had many mis-hit and off center strikes.

IMG_5917.jpeg.73040b0ebab0b75eb0547ccb8f1850ac.jpeg

The 1’ mark was a wash. 100% for both however I did notice some substantial differences that I want to share:

1. Alignment - alignment was so much easier with the AI-ONE

2. Consistency - great distance on off center strikes

3. Feel - AI-ONE - more launch / smooth - little noticeable feel difference for off center strikes. XG #8 - less launch unless perfect strike - really feel off center hits - less distance

IMG_5915.jpeg.0fcc644d031b57117ff856b13348b904.jpeg

Even though I don’t think this style of putter is my preference, I cannot argue with the results I am seeing.

What’s Next?

More putting of course. I will be taking this to another indoor facility for more testing and hopefully, some first impressions by random people. A “Man on the Street” kind of feedback.

Cheers ⛳

@ZoonORama Great test post! Really comparable to the results I found with the milled mallet I have from Sub 70, which also made alignment a cinch and off-center hits were still very acceptable.

Looking forward to more reports from testers

Another round completed this morning.  It was/is cold for AZ standards as we've had a northerly wind all day.  It was 41F at tee time and 56F when we finished.  Lots of guys looking like the Michelin Man 😁.

38/40 with 31 putts... although I did putt a few from just off the green.  One I would have normally chipped, thicker grass, but I wanted to push the limits.  I had 4 birdies but two DB's.  The former, the Odyssey did it's thing, the latter, I did my thing before getting to the green.  The putter is still feeling good and performing well, and will be rolling the rock for rounds tomorrow, Saturday, and Monday.  These will be my "extreme weather" tests. 😆

@Willie TPlease, do tell more!

More it is….the sister course with its much different greens forced me to look at reading the breaks.  Once I got a feel for pace, Millie delivered nicely on distance.  Misses were rarely more than 2’ past.  Talk about inspiring confidence in terms of speed off the face, I just was not spot on in terms of reading the greens.

Fast forward to yesterday- played an afternoon nine with a good friend.  We were back at my regular course, so I’m thinking it should be an easy day of putting - not.  Temps are in the 40’s, winds are NNW at 10 gusting to 20+, rain overnight and the greens are receptive but like glass in terms of speed.  It was a challenge to figure trailing-crossing-head winds into the equation. Still Millie hung in and helped me stay confident as I am really honing in on the ball off a milled face versus an insert like the white hot.

Another round in today at Desert Springs.  40/37 with 32 putts.  The Odyssey continues to deliver and I'm starting to feel kind of bad for my ER5v watching us leave the garage without him 😧.
