Odyssey DFX V-Line Fang DB Putter is a mid-sized mallet putter designed for players who want stability, easy alignment, and a very soft feel at impact. From our point of view, it is a very good choice for golfers who prefer a quieter, straighter putting motion and want more confidence than a traditional blade putter can provide.
The V-Line Fang shape is one of Odyssey’s classic designs. It combines a mid-sized mallet construction with softer fang features that support head stability while also giving a clearer visual frame behind the ball. In practice, this will suit players who want more confidence at address without moving into an extremely oversized head shape.
The DB designation stands for Double Bend shaft. This construction makes the putter face-balanced, which means it is designed to suit players with minimal arc and minimal face rotation during the stroke. It is especially suitable for golfers who putt more straight back and straight through.
The main feature of the DFX range is the DFX insert, one of Odyssey’s softest inserts. At impact, it creates a very smooth, soft, and muted feel. This will suit golfers who do not want a hard metallic sound and prefer softer feedback when controlling distance.
The charcoal finish highlights the head shape and frames the black insert nicely. The result is a modern, clean, and understated look that does not distract at address. Visual confidence is very important in a putter, and the V-Line Fang shape helps the player set the head more easily to the target line.
The putter comes with a steel shaft and Odyssey pistol grip. Depending on configuration, Odyssey Oversize and Odyssey Slim Pistol grips may also be available. From our point of view, a larger grip can be interesting for players who want to quiet wrist action, while the pistol grip keeps a more traditional feel in the hands.
Who we recommend this putter for
- golfers who want a more stable mallet putter,
- players who putt more straight back and straight through,
- golfers with minimal putter face rotation during the stroke,
- players who prefer face-balanced weighting,
- golfers who want a soft and muted feel at impact,
- players who want more confidence at address than a narrow blade provides,
- golfers looking for a quality Odyssey putter at a more accessible price than premium tour models.
Who we would not recommend it to as a first choice
- players with a strong arc in the putting stroke,
- golfers who need more toe hang and stronger face rotation,
- players who prefer a completely traditional narrow blade shape,
- golfers who do not want a mallet head or larger visual profile,
- players who prefer a firmer metallic feel without a soft insert.
Main benefits

Disadvantages to consider

Our recommendation
We recommend the Odyssey DFX V-Line Fang DB to golfers who want a stable mallet putter with a soft feel and face-balanced weighting. It makes the most sense for players with a straighter putting motion who want improved head stability and more confidence at address.
If you are looking for a putter that combines the stable V-Line Fang shape, a very soft DFX insert, and easy control with minimal face rotation, this model is a very good choice. However, if you have a strong arc stroke or prefer a traditional blade with toe hang, we recommend considering another putter style.
