Odyssey launches Ai-One Square 2 Square stroke-balanced putters
Stroke-balanced putters aren’t anything new to Odyssey as we have seen the Backstryke and Toe Up putters that featured similar balances in years past. “Stroke-balanced” means that when you hold the putter, or rest it on a table, with no influence the face will point towards the target. Accordingly, 2016 Toe Up putters were named after where the toe is pointed when held horizontally. This style of putter has come back around to having new life recently with many tour professionals and amateur players finding success with the style. Odyssey decided it was time to jump back into the ring with a new, and much more traditional-looking, line of stroke-balanced putters called Ai-One Square 2 Square.
Putters built with Square 2 Square technology help remove one aspect of putting, keeping the face square to the target at impact. Now you still have to read the putt and hit it with the right speed, but eliminating the need to also get the face square to the target can be a big help. To do this Odyssey took a few of its classic and loved putter head shapes and gave them a unique center shaft. This center shaft is really a center shaft as it is installed right on the CG plane of the putter in order to keep the toe up and face aligned with the target. There is also a 3.3-degree forward press in the shaft to get the hands forward and help with the balance on the head. All of these classics feature Odyssey’s Ai-One urethane face that keeps distance control consistent, even on mishits. All three of these putters will have the Odyssey Stroke Lab SL90 shaft installed with 20-30 grams of counterbalance weight in the handle.
Ai-One Square 2 Square Jailbird
One of the hottest putter head styles the past couple of years. The Jailbird mixes Square 2 Square technology with Odyssey’s Versa alignment for additional help getting the ball started on the right line. A dark navy PVD finish reduces glare and helps contrast with the Versa lines while a triple dot site line makes sure you have the ball centered on the face.

Ai-One Square 2 Square #7
One of Odyssey’s iconic head shapes that has stood the test of time. The slightly larger head size allows you to really see the traditional #7 site lines that frame the golf ball so well. A single short line is on top and flanked with long white lines that run down the “fangs” of the putter. The #7 has always been a forgiving head with so much mass on the perimeter of the putter.

Ai-One Square 2 Square Double Wide
If you are looking for a Square 2 Square putter but like a more traditional blade style, then the Double Wide is your option. Slightly longer from heel to toe the DW has a short site line on the top for alignement. Slightly more boxy shape helps push some weight to the far ends of the putter for added stability.

Shaft and grip
Odyssey’s Stroke Lab SL90 shaft allows 20-30 grams of counter balance weight to be put under the handle. The new Square 2 Square grip is oversize and has a nice round shape to it that should help settle the hands and wrists during the stroke.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

I tried the Jailbird version today at the local bigbox golf store. They put one out for the curiosity seekers like me. I have to admit, it was a very positive experience. You do have to let that head do its thing- light grip, no extra shaft lean beyond what the club has built into it. I drained many putts in excess of 10-15 feet and was very impressed by the head feedback on well-struck centre hits. I enjoyed it a lot more than the LAB DF-3 that followed it.
Definitely in the running, especially given the price point vs. other low torque putters out there.
