Back in 1996 I bought my first insert putter - the Odyssey Dual Force 440 - and loved it. In fact, I still have it and refuse to get rid of it. But one day, while shopping and comparing Titanium drivers, I picked up an Odyssey DFX 9900 and the rest is history. Using the practice carpet at the store just to try it, I proceeded to sink 9 of 10 tries from about 8 feet back. And because of my open-stanced, Jack Nicolas style, eyes 2 inches behind the ball style, I immediately realized that not only did I have the directional accuracy I was already used to, I gained greater control over judging distance and speed. To emphasize my pleasure with this putter, in the last 10 rounds I have average 1.7 putts per hole. One preference of this one over my old Odyssey putter is the perimeter weighting both sides of center, and the support flange (what I call it) to assist achieving a level ball-striking stroke every time. It is virtually impossible to not strike the ball squarely and perpendicular. And, in my play with it so far, I’ve yet to miss a hole by more than 5 feet. I putted well before but began to panic on putts farther than 3-4 feet. Now, I have complete confidence with everything less than 7 feet from the hole. If you’re not addicted to one brand, or are not the marketing target success of the 2-3-4-5 ball mallet putter manufacturers, it would be well worth your time to try out this one. If my guess is correct and your vision is normal, you’ll immediately realize how well you can putt without all of the gimmicks and for around $100.

After playing with a Titleist Dead Center putter for about 11 years, I decided it was time to make a change. I did quite a bit of research and tried out all kinds of putters before settling on this one. Over the last few years, I had seen Odyssey Rossie II putters in stores and liked the feel of them. For that reason, I initally targeted mallet style putters, including the Odyssey DFX 1100. However, after trying out various models, it soon became apparent that "face balanced" putters (including the Odyssey two-balls and the Taylormade Rossa Monza) are not for me. I seem to have a tendancy to push them to the right. Putters with more weight in the toe feel more stable and work better with my putting stroke. The 9900 has a "toe down" angle of a little more than 45 degrees. I tried various putters from Odyssey, Never Compromise, Ping, Cleveland, and TaylorMade and ended up liking the 9900 best. Well, almost. There was this sweet Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Del Mar model that worked equally well for me but guess which putter was less expensive? The insert on the DFX series seems to be just as they advertise. It's not too soft but seems to provide some forgiveness on mis-hits.
