Odyssey Ai-DUAL #1 Putter

Odyssey Ai-DUAL #1 CH Putter is a modern blade putter designed for players who prefer a classic head shape, a clean look at address, and a soft yet consistent feel at impact. From our point of view, it is a very interesting choice for golfers with a natural arcing putting stroke and more face rotation through the stroke.

The #1 CH model is based on a traditional heel-toe weighted blade design with rounded bumpers. This shape has long been popular among golfers because it looks simple, clean, and confidence-inspiring from above. Compared with larger mallet putters, it offers a more compact appearance and clearer feedback at impact.

The CH designation refers to the crank hosel, which gives this putter more pronounced toe hang. In practice, it is best suited to players whose putting stroke has an arc and whose putter face naturally opens and closes during the stroke. If you have a very straight-back-straight-through motion, a model with less toe hang or a face-balanced design may be more suitable.

The key technology is the Ai-DUAL insert, designed using artificial intelligence. Its dual-layer construction combines a soft urethane outer layer with a firmer inner layer to deliver consistent ball speed across the face, improved forward roll, and an excellent feel at impact.

The new FRD – Forward Roll Design Groove is deeper and more aggressive, with a 19° slope. Working together with the dual-layer insert, it helps the ball start rolling forward sooner, which can improve distance control and reduce unwanted skidding or hopping after impact.

The lightweight steel SL 90 shaft includes a 20 g counterbalance weight in the butt end. This balance can help players achieve a more stable and repeatable putting stroke. Combined with the Odyssey Pistol Grip, the putter feels natural in the hands and suits a wide range of golfers.

Who we recommend this putter for

• players who prefer a classic blade putter shape,
• golfers with a natural arcing putting stroke,
• players who benefit from more pronounced toe hang,
• golfers who want a soft but stable feel at impact,
• players looking for improved forward roll and more consistent ball speed,
• golfers who want a modern Odyssey putter with an Ai-DUAL insert,
• players who prefer a more compact head over a large mallet putter.

Who we would not recommend it to as a first choice

• players with a very straight putting stroke and minimal face rotation,
• golfers who prefer a face-balanced mallet putter,
• players who want maximum visual help with alignment,
• beginners who need maximum stability from a larger head,
• golfers who do not like a compact blade look at address.

Main benefits

• modern Odyssey Ai-DUAL #1 CH blade putter,
• traditional heel-toe weighted design with rounded bumpers,
• crank hosel with more pronounced toe hang for arcing strokes,
• Ai-DUAL insert designed using artificial intelligence,
• dual-layer urethane construction for soft feel and consistent speed,
• 19° FRD Groove for improved forward roll,
• SL 90 steel shaft with 20 g counterbalance weight,
• Odyssey Pistol Grip suitable for a broad range of golfers,
• classic look with modern insert technology.

Disadvantages to consider

• the stronger toe hang may not suit players with a straight putting stroke,
• the blade head does not provide the same visual stability as larger mallet putters,
• the compact shape may be less forgiving on very poor strikes,
• players used to large alignment lines may want a more visible alignment system,
• it performs best for golfers who truly match an arc stroke and crank hosel setup.

Our recommendation

We recommend the Odyssey Ai-DUAL #1 CH to golfers who like a classic blade putter, want a soft feel on the green, and still expect modern technology to support consistent speed and better roll. If you have a natural arc in your putting stroke, this model makes a lot of sense.

However, if you prefer a very straight stroke, a highly stable head, or a strong visual alignment aid, we recommend considering one of the Ai-DUAL mallet models. The #1 CH is mainly for the player who wants traditional looks, feel, control, and technology hidden inside a classic shape.
