That shift eliminates the need for forward shaft lean\u2014a key feature in earlier Ai-ONE S2S models\u2014and removes one of the biggest barriers to adopting a square-to-square stroke.<\/p>\n<p>This change creates a neutral, upright setup that lets golfers maintain their normal grip and hand position. No forward press. No adjustment. Just a square face and a more intuitive motion through the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Multi-Material Engineering<\/p>\n<p>Odyssey achieved this balance through multi-material construction. By combining aluminum, steel, and more than 140 grams of tungsten, over 80% of the head\u2019s total mass now sits directly beneath the topline. The result is stability and face control that feels natural\u2014not mechanical.<\/p>\n<p>As Odyssey\u2019s engineers put it: \u201cWe\u2019ve moved Zero Torque forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AI-DUAL Insert and Forward Roll Design<\/p>\n<p>The Ai-DUAL Insert is a dual-layer urethane face designed using Artificial Intelligence. A soft outer layer provides the familiar Odyssey feel, while a firm inner layer maintains consistent ball speed and energy transfer across the face. Working in harmony with the insert is the Forward Roll Design (FRD) Groove\u2014deeper, more aggressive grooves with a 19\u00b0 slope that help start the ball rolling forward faster, minimizing skid and distance loss.<\/p>\n<p>Real-World Testing\u201cThis design just made putting feel automatic\u2014seriously,\u201d said Kyle from AmateurGolf.com&#8217;s Equipment Panel after testing the new #7 model. \u201cFrom the first few rolls, you feel the head release naturally and the ball come off the face with instant feedback. It\u2019s one of those setups that makes you trust your line.\u201dTour-Inspired Grip and Shaft<\/p>\n<p>Every Tri-Hot S2S comes with the new Pistol Plus grip, a mid-sized pistol inspired by the most popular shapes used on Tour. Crisp edges and refined tapering help golfers feel the face throughout the stroke. The grip pairs with the Black SL 120 shaft, a heavier and stiffer variant of the Stroke Lab 90, developed through player feedback for added control and stability.<\/p>\n<p>Golfers who prefer a longer or counterbalanced build can opt for the Jailbird Cruiser\u2014a 38-inch model with a heavier head, 17-inch grip, and SL 140 shaft for those who like a shoulder-driven pendulum feel.<\/p>\n<p>Model LineupModelHead TypeLengthsHandToe HangHead WeightRossieMallet33&#8243;, 34&#8243;, 35&#8243;RH90\u00b0 Up365 g#7Mallet33&#8243;, 34&#8243;, 35&#8243;RH \/ LH90\u00b0 Up365 gJailbirdMallet33&#8243;, 34&#8243;, 35&#8243;RH90\u00b0 Up365 gJailbird CruiserMallet38&#8243;RH90\u00b0 Up385 gWhy It Matters<\/p>\n<p>By moving the CG forward and eliminating the need for a preset hand position, Odyssey has made the square-to-square stroke more accessible than ever. The Tri-Hot S2S encourages a natural motion powered by the shoulders, producing a true roll without manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>As Golf Digest notes in its exploration of zero-torque designs, \u201cBy keeping the head square longer during the stroke, you don\u2019t have to be perfect with the line or pace.\u201d That\u2019s exactly what this putter achieves\u2014a stroke that feels automatic and connected.<\/p>\n<p>Availability<\/p>\n<p>The Odyssey Tri-Hot S2S line opens for pre-sale October 30 at 10 AM ET \/ 7 AM PT and arrives in stores mid-November. Pricing begins at $549.99 for Rossie, #7, and Jailbird, and $599.99 for the Jailbird Cruiser.<\/p>\n<p>For golfers who\u2019ve wanted to roll it square-to-square without reworking their grip or setup, Odyssey\u2019s Tri-Hot S2S may be the most natural feeling solution yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 Moving Zero Torque Forward The heart of the Tri-Hot S2S concept is moving the center of gravity&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3030],"tags":[362,361,3950,3158],"class_list":["post-18667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-odyssey","tag-amateur-golf-news","tag-amateurgolf-com","tag-equipment-reviews","tag-odyssey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
