Odyssey Ai-One Double Wide Putter Review: First Impressions

Classic silver

Visually I loved the silver finish. While previous models leaned towards a bold blue, I think this switch to silver offers a more classic, premium look that many golfers will appreciate. The whole look is sleek, minimal, and polished, with just the right amount of contrast between the head and alignment lines.

Odyssey Feel

To my joy the feel was quintessentially Odyssey. The White Hot insert delivers that familiar softness, while the AI face design ensures that even off-centre strikes feel solid and controlled. I have to say, as first impressions go, the Odyssey Ai-One Double Wide put up a good show.

NCG Verdict

Consistency

When it comes to performance, the Ai-One Double Wide also doesn’t fail to disappoint. During testing, I felt the putter was extremely consistent on both short and long putts. The face technology worked well to reduce the impact of mishits. Additionally, the Stroke Lab 90 shaft, another highlight of this model, adds to its stability and overall control.

Modern twist

Odyssey’s Ai-One Double Wide features a classic blade-like design with a modern twist. The putter’s double-wide construction offers enhanced forgiveness. This means that even off-centre hits roll more consistently, maintaining speed and line, which is what I exactly experienced.

AI Face

Other bits of tech include Odyssey’s proprietary AI (artificial intelligence) face technology. The face features complex contouring designed to deliver consistent ball speed from anywhere in which you strike the ball. Whether struck on the heel, toe, or centre, the ball rolls true with consistent pace, something that truly sets it apart from most other options on the market.

White Hot insert

Additionally, Odyssey has equipped the Ai-One with its famed White Hot urethane layer insert. This iconic insert, now enhanced with fine grooves, provides an incredibly soft yet responsive feel. For golfers accustomed to the traditional ‘click’ of Odyssey’s inserts, you’ll be thankful for this inclusion.

I think there is definitely an element of a confidence inspiring design when looking down at the putter. A window in the back that subtly reveals some of its face technology, a touch that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional.

Final Verdict

Raising the bar

Overall, I have no doubts Odyssey has once again raised the bar with the Ai-One Double Wide. It blends the brand’s legendary craftsmanship with the latest in AI-driven technology to produce a putter that is as forgiving as it is beautiful.

With exceptional feel, impressive forgiveness, and sleek aesthetics, this putter stands out as one of the finest in its category. Whether you’re a blade loyalist looking for added support or simply seeking a high-performance putter, the Ai-One Double Wide is certainly worth a roll on the green.

About the author

Callaway Epic Max driver review
Jack Backhouse

A member of the PGA for 13 years, Jack has lived golf for more than half his life. Inspired by Tiger Wood’s winning putt at the 2008 US Open, an obsession began with watching slow motion golf swings on the internet and reading What’s In The Bag articles in magazines.

Not destined for a life behind the desk in a pro shop, Jack has focussed more on coaching, working closely with regional teams in North Yorkshire and helping golfers of all levels on their journey to enjoying playing the game more. Jack has coached many junior golfers into the county teams, and once worked with a player at the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie.

After letting his game fall apart prior to COVID, Jack rediscovered his love for playing golf after joining Silloth Golf Club in 2020 and whipping round the windy, firm links course. Playing regularly with a half set of clubs he has a passion for shot making and developing skill, and claims to have the sharpest 30-100 yard game in the North of England (only because he doesn’t know anyone in the South), and now maintains a +1 handicap at a club much closer to home, Sand Moor GC.

Jack has always tinkered with his equipment, once building his own Frankenstein one length set of clubs after watching Bryson DeChambeau burst onto the scene after winning the US Amateur. He firmly believes in getting custom fit and is happy to debate anyone about blade irons being superior to any other iron category.

Jack loves: playing quickly, 2 ball golf, match play, heathland courses, pencil bags, foursomes, Tiger Wood’s swing 2005-2009.

Jack hates: buggies, unnecessary trees, giving shots, the 7 iron loft debate, graphite shaft lovers weird superiority complex.

TaylorMade P7MB 3-P

Titleist SM10 wedges

TaylorMade TP Reserve Blade putter
