Callaway’s Odyssey putters have been the most played putter on every professional tour for 15 years as well as being number one in every retail market. Validation of the Ai-ONE face is easily found in the fact half of their putters on Tour are that construction.
For 2025 Callaway has the goal for their Odyssey division to capitalize on the Ai-ONE success after the 2023 introduction, grow sales share in the milled putter category and be the undisputed leader in the emerging center shafted market segment.
The centered shafted, so-called “Zero Torque” design of the Square 2 Square, has the head statically balanced due to the shaft being mounted in the middle of the head slightly ahead of the center of gravity. This produces a square-to-square bias for the stroke and a mild toe-up hang versus the usual toe-down hang of most putters. Also, to facilitate the square-to-square path of the head throughout the stroke there is a built in 3.3° forward press.
Callaway tells me the artificial intelligence designed Ai-ONE face uses complex contours on the aluminum backer behind the White Hot urethane face which is milled for precision and the combination results in the largest sweet spot they have ever measured. The SL 90 (Stroke Lab) shaft is a very light weight steel and depending on the grip weight is counterbalanced 20 to 30 grams in the butt end.
