Spotted: New Odyssey Ai-One and Ai-One Cruiser putters
Odyssey’s Ai-One putters have been extremely popular on tour as many touring professionals have put them in play.
Typically Odyssey gives golfers a ton of options when it comes to head and neck styles, and there are more at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. There were also some Cruiser models on the putting green. Odyssey is labeling the longer length, heavier head, and counterbalanced models as “Crusiers.”
A head shape that hasn’t been made in a few years, and a GolfWRX member favorite, the No. 9 was also seen on the practice green. The No. 9 was made famous by Phil Mickelson, and is a small heel-shafted blade that offers extreme toe hang for players who really want to feel the toe swing through impact.
The Jailbird has been one of the most asked-for head shapes after we saw Rickie Fowler, Wyndham Clark, and others finding success with it. The Jailbird was accompanied by the smaller Jailbird Mini, and now with the Jailbird Cruiser, there is an option for anyone who walks by the Odyssey staff bag on the putting green.
The Jailbird models also feature Odyssey’s Versa paint scheme, but it is done in dark navy blue and white to go with the Ai-One colors.
Odyssey’s 2-Ball putter is one of the bestselling shapes golf has ever seen. GolfWRX spotted a few versions with the new Ai-One face on the green. The 2-Ball wasn’t part of the initial Ai-One launch, but it looks like we are going to get it now for the players who love this unique head shape and alignment system. To go with the traditional double bend shaft there was also this slant neck model that featured a single siteline through the two white balls on the top of the putter. (Update: Per Callaway, the 2-Ball is available for pre-order now and will be in stores 2/9)
Finally, we get what might be one of the more interesting Odyssey No. 7 models ever released, a long or broomstick version. This Odyssey Ai-One No. 7 Cruiser has the shaft installed into the center of the head. The shaft being placed here allows for the correct head balancing and upright lie angle needed for those long broomstick putters. This head is heavier than a standard No. and has a split, two-piece grip installed on it.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
