Odyssey DFX #1 CH Putter is a classic blade putter designed for players who prefer a traditional slim head shape, a clean look at address, and a soft feel at impact. From our point of view, it is a very good choice for golfers who want a simple, proven, and more accessible Odyssey putter without a large mallet construction.
The #1 CH model is based on a very traditional blade shape that many players like for its clean profile and simple setup behind the ball. Compared with larger mallet putters, it looks more compact, less distracting, and gives the player a very natural sense of control over the putter head.
The main feature of the DFX range is the DFX insert, which provides a very soft and smooth feel at impact. We recommend this type of insert especially to players who do not like a hard metallic sound and want a more muted, softer response when putting. The soft feel can be useful on faster greens, where sensitive pace control is important.
The CH designation stands for crank hosel. This hosel style creates more toe hang, specifically 43°, making the putter best suited to players who have more face rotation and a natural arc in the putting stroke. If a player putts straight back and straight through, a face-balanced model may be a better fit.
The charcoal finish highlights the traditional head shape and frames the black insert nicely. The result is an elegant, understated, and modern look that does not distract at address. In a blade putter, visual simplicity is a major advantage because it helps the player focus on line and pace.
The putter comes with a steel shaft and, depending on configuration, may be available with Odyssey Pistol, Odyssey Oversize, or Odyssey Slim Pistol grips. From our point of view, the standard pistol grip gives the most traditional feel in the hands, while larger grips may help players who want to calm wrist action slightly.
Who we recommend this putter for
- golfers who prefer a traditional blade putter shape,
- players who want a clean and simple look at address,
- golfers who prefer a soft feel at impact,
- players with a natural arc in the putting stroke,
- golfers with more putter face rotation during the stroke,
- players who want a compact putter without large alignment aids,
- 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 who need strong alignment assistance like a 2-Ball or large mallet putter,
- golfers with a straight-back-straight-through putting stroke and minimal face rotation,
- players who prefer a face-balanced putter,
- golfers who want the extra stability and higher MOI of a large mallet model,
- players who prefer a firmer metallic feel without a soft insert.
Main benefits
- traditional and clean blade shape,
- DFX insert for a very soft and smooth feel,
- crank hosel suitable for an arcing stroke,
- 43° toe hang for players with putter face rotation,
- charcoal finish with a modern and understated look,
- steel shaft for a traditional feel,
- Odyssey Pistol, Oversize, and Slim Pistol grip options,
- available for right- and left-handed players,
- good balance of price, brand, and functionality.
Disadvantages to consider
- less visual alignment help than 2-Ball or larger mallet models,
- the blade shape is less forgiving than more stable large putters,
- the soft DFX insert may not suit players who want firmer and stronger feedback,
- 43° toe hang may not suit players with a straight-back-straight-through stroke,
- not Odyssey’s highest-tech range with the latest premium inserts.
Our recommendation
We recommend the Odyssey DFX #1 CH to golfers who want a classic blade putter with a soft feel, simple look, and natural balance. It makes the most sense for players with a moderate to stronger arc in the putting stroke who do not need large alignment aids behind the ball.
If you are looking for a traditional putter with a clean design, soft DFX insert, and good value for money, this model is a very good choice. However, if you want maximum stability, strong visual alignment, or a face-balanced construction, we recommend considering one of Odyssey’s larger mallet models.
