The white hot insert makes this putter especially soft and forgiving on impact, although perhaps at the cost of some precision. On the course, this putter does a great job overall, and represents a good value for its price point. However, since it is not actually milled, this putter costs about half what a premium milled putter would cost. The OG #7 putter is a mid mallet fang putter, and uses a rich silver pvd finish with fine milling to give it the premium look of a milled putter.
#ODYSSEY DFX PUTTER SERIES#
The new OG series returns to the original white hot formulation, and proves that sometimes the original is better. These Urethane inserts are notoriously soft on impact, but never feel weak or squishy. The White Hot putter series is famous for the legendary White Hot insert that it is named after. We recommend this putter for beginners and higher handicap players.įirst issued in the year 2000, White Hot putters have managed to stay relevant for over 20 years. This putter is also especially forgiving, although its precision and feedback are only average. Players that like a cushy feel on impact will love this putter. Who do we recommend a Odyssey DFX for?Įquipped with its relatively cheap entry price and the softest insert technology available from Odyssey, the DFX is well positioned as an entry level putter. Players that are ready for more precision on their hit may prefer the White Hot OG. While putter face softness is a personal preference, we think that higher handicap players and beginners may appreciate the more forgiving DFX model. The DFX insert had a softer and smoother feel on impact with the golf ball, but at the cost of some precision. The Odyssey White Hot OG had more precision and feedback on both short and long putts. While playing with these two putters, we definitely noticed a tradeoff between using the White Hot insert and the (even softer) DFX insert putters. The DFX has a lower price point than the White Hot OG.The DFX has a premium black finish while the White Hot OG series has a premium silver finish that makes it look milled.The DFX putter series has an even softer putter insert than the White Hot OG series insert.While the DFX and White Hot putter series have several similarities, there are three key differences between these putters: Both of these putters are mid-mallet fang putters with very similar designs.
While there are several putters available in the DFX and White Hot OG lineup, we used the White Hot OG #7 and and Odyssey DFX #7 for this comparison. Odyssey DFX vs White Hot OG – What’s the difference?

It also has great rebound for a soft material. “The material is unique in that it is firm to the touch but under impact loads it performs and feels like a soft material. It’s a unique process and produces an insert that is unlike anything else. “It’s a two-part urethane that gets cast in sheets and then we laser cut those sheets into the individual insert shapes.
