Product Information

Full details

The Odyssey Ai-DUAL Double Wide 1/2 Ball Putter is designed for adult golfers seeking a stable blade-style putter with enhanced alignment and consistent roll. Its key benefit is improved confidence at address and more predictable distance control, thanks to its wider profile and advanced insert technology. A potential caveat for some players might be the specific feel of the dual-layer insert or the Double Bend shaft, which is optimized for a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke.

FAQs

What type of golfer is the Odyssey Ai-DUAL Double Wide 1/2 Ball Putter best suited for?

This putter is ideal for adult golfers who prefer a blade-style putter but desire increased stability and forgiveness. It is particularly well-suited for players with a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke due to its face-balanced design.

How does the Ai-DUAL insert technology improve performance?

The Ai-DUAL insert uses a dual-layer urethane construction. A softer outer layer provides a pleasant feel at impact, while a firmer inner layer helps maintain consistent ball speeds across the entire clubface, leading to better distance control.

What is the benefit of the 1/2 Ball alignment feature?

The 1/2 Ball alignment visually frames the golf ball at address, helping golfers square the putter face more easily and set up with greater confidence. This can lead to more consistent contact and better aiming.

What does 'face-balanced' mean for this putter?

A face-balanced putter means the putter's face will naturally balance upward when the shaft is balanced on your finger. This design is typically recommended for golfers with a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke, as it minimizes toe hang and resists opening or closing during the stroke.

How does the counterbalance shaft help my putting?

The SL 90 shaft includes 20-30g of counterbalance weight in the butt end. This added weight is designed to help stabilize the putter through the stroke, promoting a smoother, more repeatable tempo, especially beneficial on longer putts.

What is the groove design and what does it do?

The putter features Odyssey's Forward Roll Design (FRD) grooves. These are designed to encourage the ball to start rolling sooner after impact, reducing skidding and hop, and leading to more consistent roll towards the hole.

Are there different lengths available for this putter?

Yes, the Odyssey Ai-DUAL Double Wide 1/2 Ball Putter is available in standard lengths of 33", 34", and 35".

Troubleshooting

Ball speed inconsistent on off-center hits

Ensure you are making solid contact. The Ai-DUAL insert is designed for consistency, but extreme mishits will still impact ball speed. Focus on the 1/2 Ball alignment to help square the face.

Putter feels unstable during the stroke

Check the length of the putter; an incorrect length can affect balance. The counterbalance in the SL 90 shaft is intended to aid stability; ensure the grip is secure and not loose.

Difficulty getting the ball to roll true

Confirm the clubface is square at impact using the alignment aid. The Forward Roll Design grooves assist with earlier roll, but proper technique is still key. Clean the grooves of any debris.

Putting stroke feels jerky or inconsistent

The counterbalance design aims to smooth tempo. Practice with a focus on a relaxed grip and a consistent pendulum motion, utilizing the weight in the butt of the grip to guide your stroke.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced stability and forgiveness due to the wider head.
  • Consistent ball speeds and improved distance control with the Ai-DUAL insert.
  • Improved alignment and confidence at address with the 1/2 Ball framing.
  • Promotes an earlier, more reliable forward roll.
  • Designed for players with a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke.
  • Counterbalance feature aids in a smoother, more controlled tempo.

Cons

  • The Double Bend shaft is specifically suited for a straight-back, straight-through stroke, which may not suit all golfers.
  • Some players might prefer a different feel from the Ai-DUAL insert compared to traditional inserts.
  • As a blade-style putter, it may offer less visual forgiveness on off-center hits compared to larger mallet designs.
  • The specific alignment aid may require a short adjustment period for golfers accustomed to different systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Odyssey Ai-DUAL Double Wide 1/2 Ball Putter comes standard with a Double Bend shaft, making it face-balanced and suitable for golfers with a minimal shoulder turn and a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke. Ensure you select the correct length (33", 34", or 35") that allows you to stand comfortably to the ball with a slight bend in your knees and your eyes generally over the ball. The SL 90 steel shaft features a counterbalance weight (20-30g) in the butt of the grip, designed to promote a smoother tempo.

Compatibility: This putter is designed for standard golf use. The grip is Odyssey Ai-DUAL Pistol and is available in a standard size. The putter is available in both Right Hand (RH) and Left Hand (LH) versions.

Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your putter, clean it after each use. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the face, sole, and topline to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes, as these can damage the finish and the insert. Store the putter in a protective headcover when not in use to prevent scratches and dings.
