Odyssey launches Ai-One Square 2 Square stroke-balanced putters

Published

Stroke-balanced putters aren’t anything new to Odyssey as we have seen the Backstryke and Toe Up putters that featured similar balances in years past. “Stroke-balanced” means that when you hold the putter, or rest it on a table, with no influence the face will point towards the target. Accordingly, 2016 Toe Up putters were named after where the toe is pointed when held horizontally. This style of putter has come back around to having new life recently with many tour professionals and amateur players finding success with the style. Odyssey decided it was time to jump back into the ring with a new, and much more traditional-looking, line of stroke-balanced putters called Ai-One Square 2 Square.

Putters built with Square 2 Square technology help remove one aspect of putting, keeping the face square to the target at impact. Now you still have to read the putt and hit it with the right speed, but eliminating the need to also get the face square to the target can be a big help. To do this Odyssey took a few of its classic and loved putter head shapes and gave them a unique center shaft. This center shaft is really a center shaft as it is installed right on the CG plane of the putter in order to keep the toe up and face aligned with the target. There is also a 3.3-degree forward press in the shaft to get the hands forward and help with the balance on the head. All of these classics feature Odyssey’s Ai-One urethane face that keeps distance control consistent, even on mishits. All three of these putters will have the Odyssey Stroke Lab SL90 shaft installed with 20-30 grams of counterbalance weight in the handle.

Ai-One Square 2 Square Jailbird

One of the hottest putter head styles the past couple of years. The Jailbird mixes Square 2 Square technology with Odyssey’s Versa alignment for additional help getting the ball started on the right line. A dark navy PVD finish reduces glare and helps contrast with the Versa lines while a triple dot site line makes sure you have the ball centered on the face.

Ai-One Square 2 Square #7

One of Odyssey’s iconic head shapes that has stood the test of time. The slightly larger head size allows you to really see the traditional #7 site lines that frame the golf ball so well. A single short line is on top and flanked with long white lines that run down the “fangs” of the putter. The #7 has always been a forgiving head with so much mass on the perimeter of the putter.

Ai-One Square 2 Square Double Wide

If you are looking for a Square 2 Square putter but like a more traditional blade style, then the Double Wide is your option. Slightly longer from heel to toe the DW has a short site line on the top for alignement. Slightly more boxy shape helps push some weight to the far ends of the putter for added stability.

Shaft and grip

Odyssey’s Stroke Lab SL90 shaft allows 20-30 grams of counter balance weight to be put under the handle. The new Square 2 Square grip is oversize and has a nice round shape to it that should help settle the hands and wrists during the stroke.

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
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

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.”
