AIT 1

According to coloradoavidgolfer.com, the AIT 1 took the classic Zebra look and scaled it up, into a wider, longer mallet built to raise Moment of Inertia and stretch out the alignment stripes. The publication describes it two different ways in the same breath, as a fang design and separately as a wide-bodied Anser-style club, which suggests the AIT 1 may have sat somewhere between those two silhouettes rather than committing fully to one. Either way, the through-line is a body with a hole cut into it, meant to serve both the MoI gains and alignment at once.

On construction, coloradoavidgolfer.com reports the head as milled from a billet of carbon steel, with milled steel face inserts. Weighting follows the adjustable-mass approach common to this era of mallets: standard 15g heel and toe weights, with 10g and 20g options available for those who wanted to shift feel or swing weight.

The publication credits the design to Larry Tang, formerly of Odyssey, in some references, and to Austie Rollinson in others. Both names appear tied to the AIT 1 in coloradoavidgolfer.com's reporting, without one superseding the other in what's on record here.

As the "1" in the AIT Series, this model reads as the line's foundational statement, the larger, MoI-forward mallet that the rest of the series would presumably build from or riff on, though the record here speaks only to this release itself.
