Odyssey adds to Ai-One putter line with new Cruiser models

Odyssey’s Ai-One putters have gotten off to a hot start in 2024 after ending 2023 with a bang, boosted by hugely successful performances at the Ryder Cup thanks to Jon Rahm putting an early prototype into play in Rome.

Another win came recently, when Wyndham Clark put a custom Jailbird Cruiser in the bag and won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. And for those who have asked when that putter might become available — the time is now.

What is an Odyssey Cruiser?

The Odyssey Ai-One Cruiser line is built on the now-familiar AI-One platform, but with head weights and shapes designed to offer extra stability and, in some cases, slightly larger head sizes.

The line offers three putter configurations to help fit three different putting stroke types: Cruiser, for players looking for a counter-balanced style; Armlock, for those that putt with an arm-locking forward press; and Broomstick, for those that use a long-putter style.

Technology

The most important technology is the Ai-One insert, which is designed with the help of Ai to create various thicknesses to help normalize ball speeds on mishits. Although the insert is made from aluminum, it is co-molded with urethane to create a soft feel preferred by those who are familiar with the classic Odyssey White Hot insert.

Another component that plays a big role in the Cruiser line is the SL 140 and 200 shafts. Both offer a heavier weight to complement the heavier head weights, which optimizes stability through the putting stroke.

Available models

The Ai-One Cruiser line features five models, including a much-anticipated long-putter model.

Ai-One #7: A 380-gram head weight and is built at 38 inches, with a 17-inch grip for players the prefer to choke down.
Ai-One Double Wide: A wide-bodied blade that has a 380-gram head and is built at 38 inches with a 17-inch grip.
Ai-One Jailbird: Easy-to-align contrasting Versa lines with a 380-gram head. Built at 38 inches with a 17-inch grip intended to be choked up on.
Ai-One #7 Arm Lock: The #7 shape built with a forward-leaning 42-inch shaft and arm-lock grip intended to help stabilize the putting stroke.
Ai-One #7 CS Broomstick: The #7 shape with a unique straight-center shaft orientation and 450-gram head. Built to 48 inches for a broomstick-putting style.
