Odyssey has us red all over with the new 2026 Ai-DUAL putter range

It's already been a big start to the year for the putting gurus over at Odyssey, but things just got even hotter for the number 1 putter brand in golf. By the order of two, to be specific.

Bringing over the new insert technology debuted late last year with the release of the zero torque S2S Tri-Hot range, Odyssey has today unveiled its 2026 mainline putter range, championing the Ai-DUAL insert while providing both conventional and centre-shafted zero torque options for an even wider range of players (at a lower price point to boot).

Callaway have continued the red theme in the new range to present it as a counterpart to the Tri-Hot series, with bright crimson soles offset by more minimalist black and white crowns and matching accents. 

While the shapes themselves are unchanged from the classic Odyssey profiles we know and love, the key new update comes in the form is Callaway's new Ai-DUAL insert, which has evolved from the AI-designed Ai-ONE series with the addition of a second layer of Urethane that you thanks to their different colours when you look down at its leading edge.

The softer outer layer provides a cushier feel on the ball at impact, while the firmer layer behind it helps produce more consistent speed across the face, with the thickness of both varying at different parts along the leading edge (Callaway once again used AI to figure out these exact placements, placing more forgiveness at the points where players most often strike it off centre).

The insert is also updated with a new forward roll groove design, engineered with a 19° slope to improve roll up and down the face.

The Ai-DUAL range represents the most comprehensive mainline putter offering in Odyssey's history, with dozens of different shaft and head combinations ranging from the traditional #1 blade to the ultra-forgiving Jailbird mallet and a choice of longer-shafted Cruiser options.

It also comes with the option of either conventional shaft placements or Odyssey's zero torque Square 2 Square technology, which uses the same centre-shafted design as other zero torque putters but pushed further back compared to the Tri Hot range.

That's not all, however, as Odyssey have a brand new alignment aid they're introducing to boot. Named 1/2 ball, it does largely what it says on the tin, providing a semi-circular guide directly behind point of impact to aid alignment and make for more centre impacts.

The full Odyssey Ai-DUAL and Ai-DUAL S2S range will hit store shelves on January 23, with prices starting at £299 for standard models, £329 for Cruiser and standard-length S2S variants, and £389 for S2S Cruiser models. You can find out more at Odyssey's website.
