Odyssey announces new Square 2 Square Tri-Hot putters
Tri-Hot, Square 2 Square, and Ai-One are key technologies Odyssey has used in recent putter lines. Now, Tri-Hot was introduced back in the early 2000s, Ai-One is quite a bit newer, and Square 2 Square was released just in 2025, but all have been validated on tour and in the marketplace. So, what did Odyssey do? Took all three and combined them into one high-performance putter line.

Let’s start with the tried-and-loved Tri-Hot construction on these putters. Odyssey engineers originally created Tri-Hot as a way to make some of its iconic putter shapes more stable and forgiving by using three different materials.
The engineers today took that same philosophy and turned it up to 11 in the S2S Tri-Hot line by combining lightweight aluminum, steel, and very dense tungsten to create a more stable Square 2 Square design. More than 80 percent of the putter’s mass is in the front of the putter to create that zero-torque balance and a shaft that sits closer to the face.
Moving the shaft forward on the putter was to create a look that was a bit traditional and that more golfers would appreciate. Without over 140 grams of tungsten (that is a whole lot), they would have had to keep that shaft further back on the head. The more forward position also allowed Odyssey to remove the shaft lean that most zero-torque putters have, giving the putter a better look and allowing any grip to be used.

This launch is also the debut for Odyssey’s latest insert, Ai-Dual with FRD Grooves. As Odyssey did with the original Ai-One insert, engineers created Ai-Dual using a whole lot of AI and machine learning. Taking what they learned from Ai-One, the team set out to create a softer insert that also created a more consistent roll. Ai-Dual is built from two layers of urethane with a complex thickness profile, which are then combined.
While the difference in layers looks cool on the sole, it is there to create consistent ball speed on off-center impacts. Removing the aluminum layer from the back of the Ai-One construction insert gives this Ai-Dual insert a very soft feel and a muted sound at impact.

New Forward Roll Design Grooves are engineered into the insert at 19 degrees and work with the Ai-Dual technology to improve forward roll on any putt coming off the face. Better, more instant, forward roll helps keep putts online and improve distance control so golfers have the best chance at making putts. Odyssey found these FRD Grooves really shine on slippery breaking putts, where the extra skidding and hopping of the ball can affect how it rolls through the break.

Finally, Odyssey took a blank sheet of paper and created a new Pistol Plus grip. Researching the grips used on professional tours led to the development of a new grip that is more mid-sized and features sharper corners that fit the hand more easily and comfortably. The design should give golfers better awareness of the putter face as well.
Square 2 Square Tri-Hot putters are finished with a new SL120 putter shaft in black PVD, which is heavier and stiffer to match the feel and performance of the new putter heads.

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.”

Yeah, there’s no chance I pay that much for a putter with a squishy insert. Brutal.

Put it in the bag yesterday, replacing my PXG Allan. This putter produces a better roll, has better feel, and is truly no-torque.

The Cruiser is heavier in the head and is counter-weighted. It’s also longer (38″).

Doubtful. The price is a function of market forces. They’re charging what they believe the market will bear.
