The Callaway Odyssey AI-ONE, Jailbird Mini DB Putter reviews

The Callaway Odyssey AI-ONE, Jailbird Mini DB Putter is one of the newest models in the AI series.
The Jailbird Mini DB putter is so popular that it sells out immediately after its release, but I would like to review what kind of performance it has.

AI-designed face is resistant to mistakes

Callaway's woods have the advantage of being resistant to mishits and hitting a stable trajectory with an appropriate amount of spin due to the AI design so that the distance does not drop even if the hitting point is blurred, but finally AI has been installed on the face of the putter.
If you make a mistake with a normal putter, the ball speed will drop and it is easy to make a mistake that does not reach the cup, but the AI-ONE putter has the advantage that the ball speed does not decrease even if the hitting point is blurred.
When I actually hit it, I felt that the ball rolled well even if the swing width was small, and it reduced the number of mistakes in the short.
On the course, if the impact is weak, you may short-circuit, but I think the AI-ONE putter will have the effect of reducing such mistakes and will make the ball roll better.
If anything, it may be a putter that is effective on slower greens.

Composite aluminum and resin inserts

The inserts of the AI-ONE putter look the same as the white hot inserts, but the inserts are a mix of aluminum and resin, giving it a unique feel.
While the original White Hot Insert has a soft feel comparable to a golf ball cover, the AI-ONE insert has a firm, slightly flipping feel.

I thought that the insert, which is neither too hard nor too soft, makes it easy to create a sense of distance that matches the user's image.

AI-ONE Jailbird Mini DB Putter

The Jailbird series of putters is a model that attracted attention, such as Rickie Fowler using it last year to win a comeback championship and Wyndham Clark using it to win the championship.
The two of them use a counterbalanced jailbird with a long shaft, but this time it is a normal length model of 33 to 34 inches.
Although it is named the Jailbird Mini, the shape of the head is almost the same as that of the Tour model, with a head weight that matches the length.
DB is an abbreviation for double vent neck, and the face-balanced type has the feature of suppressing the opening and closing of the head and making it easy to hit straight.

When I actually hit it, the black and white stripe design made it easy to align the direction and I felt that it was easy to hold against the cup.
The jailbird has a large head, but it is equipped with weights on the face side, so I think it is easy to operate.
Mallet-type jailbirds are also resistant to mishits, making them naturally easy to hit straight.

Steel stroke lab shaft

Conventional stroke lab shafts are made of a composite material of steel and carbon, which makes it easy to hit a ball that rolls well by taking advantage of the flex of the shaft.
The AI-ONE putter uses a steel shaft in the 90g range, and a counterweight is installed inside the shaft on the hand side to increase stability.
The steel shaft of the Stroke Lab is slightly softer and has a carbon-like flex, so the ball rolls better naturally.
The Jailbird Mini DB putter is usually length, making it a model that is easy to handle for the general user.
Please give it a try!
