Odyssey DFX V-Line Fang DB putter
The Odyssey DFX V-Line Fang DB is a high-performance mallet putter built on one of Odyssey's most beloved head shapes, now refined and elevated with the brand's softest insert technology ever. Engineered for golfers who prefer a straight-back, straight-through stroke with minimal arc and face rotation, this face-balanced putter delivers exceptional feedback, alignment confidence, and a buttery-smooth roll on every putt. Available in a striking charcoal finish across multiple classic Odyssey shapes, it is the ideal choice for players seeking tour-quality feel at an accessible level. The putter ships complete with a matching headcover.
The V-Line Fang head features the recognisable fang-style wings — rendered here with softer, more refined edges — set within a mid-sized mallet footprint. The Double Bend (DB) shaft configuration produces a fully face-balanced setup, eliminating toe hang and encouraging a pendulum-style stroke. Whether you are a low handicapper refining your short game or a mid-handicapper looking to gain consistency on the greens, the DFX V-Line Fang DB provides the stability, alignment, and feel to hole more putts.

Technology in Detail
DFX Insert — Odyssey's Softest Feel Ever
The DFX insert is the centrepiece of this putter's performance. Engineered as Odyssey's softest insert technology to date, it is 20% softer than the legendary White Hot insert that has been trusted by tour professionals and amateurs alike for decades. The softer compound absorbs impact energy in a way that produces a distinctly muted, plush sensation at the moment of contact — a feel many golfers describe as the ball simply "melting" off the face. Beyond feel, the DFX insert is tuned to encourage a smooth, true forward roll immediately after impact, reducing the skid phase and getting the ball rolling end-over-end sooner. This translates directly into better distance control and more predictable break-reading on all types of green surfaces.
Double Bend Shaft & Face-Balanced Setup
The Double Bend (DB) shaft is a key architectural feature that defines the playing character of this putter. By creating two bends in the shaft, Odyssey's engineers position the centre of gravity of the head directly beneath the shaft axis, resulting in a fully face-balanced putter — measured at 0° of toe hang. This balance characteristic means the face will naturally stay square throughout the putting stroke, rather than opening and closing with toe hang. The DB shaft is therefore ideally matched to golfers who use a straight-back, straight-through stroke with minimal arc and face rotation. For players who have spent time with a putting mirror or launch monitor and confirmed a near-linear stroke path, this configuration removes a variable and lets the stroke repeat with greater consistency.
V-Line Fang Head Shape & Alignment
The V-Line Fang takes the popular V-Line silhouette — characterised by strong parallel sightlines running from the face to the rear of the head — and combines it with the distinctive fang-style flank wings that extend from each side of the mallet. In this DFX iteration, those fang features have been softened and refined compared to earlier generations, giving the head a cleaner, more elegant appearance while retaining the stability and high-MOI characteristics of a wider body. At address, the combination of the straight leading edge, the V-Line alignment channel, and the flanking wings creates an exceptionally clear picture of the intended target line. The mid-sized mallet footprint provides enough visual mass for confidence without feeling overly bulky or obscuring the ball.
Charcoal Finish & Premium Presentation
The DFX V-Line Fang DB is finished in a refined matte charcoal that gives the putter a clean, premium appearance without the harshness of a high-polish chrome. The dark finish frames the black DFX insert neatly, creating a subtle contrast that draws the eye to the face without creating unwanted glare in bright sunlight — a practical as well as aesthetic benefit. The charcoal finish is applied consistently across the sole, crown, and flanks, giving the putter a cohesive, modern look that sits confidently alongside more expensive alternatives. It is a classic Odyssey shape rendered with contemporary finesse and backed by the best insert feel the brand has ever produced.

Grip Options
The Odyssey DFX V-Line Fang DB is available with three grip options to suit a range of hand sizes and personal preferences:
- Odyssey Pistol Grip: The classic, traditional pistol-shaped grip with a defined ridge on the top that naturally positions the thumbs and encourages a consistent, repeatable hand placement.
- Odyssey Oversize Grip: A larger-diameter grip that reduces wrist action through the stroke, promotes a more arms-and-shoulders-driven motion, and suits golfers with larger hands or those who prefer a firmer hold.
- Odyssey Slim Pistol Grip: A slimmer version of the pistol profile, offering a more traditional feel in the hands for those who prefer lighter grip pressure and greater tactile feedback from the putter face.
