Spotted: New Odyssey Ai-One and Ai-One Milled putters

Published

During the final few tournaments of the season, we saw a few new Odyssey putters out on putting greens but had little to no info on them. Most of the players who had them were keeping them away from our cameras and were tight-lipped about the tech and performance. This week, however, we got some in-hand photos of the new Ai-One and Ai-One Milled putters from Odyssey, and they look great. We don’t have any official word from the company on these flatsticks yet, but we can still have fun speculating!

Odyssey Ai-One

This one is very intriguing, as there is what looks like a small window on the sole near the face, that almost looks to have a Jailbreak-type truss visible. I think that Odyssey has been using AI to model some face-supporting structure that will increase consistency and help with roll on impact. The window also seems to be visible on only the mallet-style putters. But again, this is just speculation.

A new insert is also visible on the face, and it looks to be metal with some horizontal grooves on it. Alternatively, it could be some type of White Hot material that has a metallic silver finish. I like the black finish the Ai-One has as it looks to be a matte texture, which gives the head a classic and clean look.

On the sole is a soleplate held in place with hex screws on the larger mallets and glued in place on the smaller mallets. The Ai-One heads each have two movable weights that are solid blackout on the toe and heel.

The back cavity has a badge that looks very similar to the window on the sole, but I can’t tell if it is clear to show off the back of the face or just a highly reflective silver finish.

Interestingly, we don’t see Odyssey’s Stroke Lab shaft on these putters, they all seem to have traditional steel shafts installed. That said, these are putters for the tour, so we still might see the Stroke Lab shaft when these come to retail.

Odyssey Ai-One Milled

The other Odyssey putter model out on the practice green was the Ai-One Milled. This Milled version has what looks to be a copper insert on the face with a heavier, oval milling pattern that is surrounded by a copper ring. If this insert is milled from a copper alloy, then we should expect a soft and responsive feel and sound at impact.

Looking at the sole, we don’t see anything near the face to show there is a support structure on the mallets. It could be there, maybe just hidden under the larger sole plates. Those sole plates are flanked by square weights with a unique pattern on them. It’s very interesting that the Ai-One and Ai-One Milled putters use different weights, so a single weight kit won’t work for both putters.

Between the name and seeing the milling marks on the sole, we can assume that these are fully milled heads. They look to have the same matte black finish as the Ai-One putters but with copper paint fill as opposed to the blue accent from the Ai-One. Again, I don’t see any of these with Stroke Lab graphite shafts.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
