Well, I'm not much of a review writer, but here goes... I started playing golf this past May at the age of 28. Up until them, I had only hit a driver at the range a few times, but had never played a round of golf in my life! (except for putt-putt, but I'm not sure that counts!) I bought a complete set of no-name clubs from Golf Outlets of America, but quickly realized that while the irons are pretty good, the putter and driver needed to be upgraded. I didn't have a lot of money to spend on a putter, so I realized that I had 2 options- One was to buy a brand new, lesser name brand like a Wilson or Nickent Putter- the other was to look for a used higher end putter, like an Odyssey or Taylormade. I decided to go with a used higher end putter, and found this older Odyssey DF Rossie One Putter here on eBay. After reading a little about Odyssey Putters on their website, and how when Annika Sorenstam shot a 59 she putted with this same putter, I decided that it was a no-brainer. The putter still looks good for its age and has a nice weighted feel. The ball rolls off the face nicely, and while it took me a few weeks to get the right feel for it, I now am putting the best I ever have! I used to 3 putt quite often (which KILLS your score!), but now I hardly ever 3 putt! I usually either sink the putt or get it close. I'm sure that eventually the "Technology Bug" will bite me enough times and I'll upgrade to something a little newer, but if I keep improving my game I may just stick with what works, as this is a great putter! I've read that the DF Rossie One was made BEFORE Odyssey was a bigger company and had been bought out by Callaway, and that they actually made better putters back when they were just a "Mom and Pop" Putter Company. I guess that's debatable, as some really good golfers I know use Odyssey 2-Ball Putters. I love everything about this Putter and don't dislike anything. I may re-grip it with a newer Odyssey grip but that's the ONLY thing I'd change.Read full review
Should have known with Rossi's name on it it would be a good putter. Very well balanced, the ball comes off the face beautifully. It's an example that sometimes a product that's a little bit older can be better than the newest thing on the market.

I've used this putter for about six rounds of golf. The ball comes off the putter very smooth with no bounce. It is not heavy. It is easy to line up. Rating a golf club is very subjective because personal preferences come into play. I bought mine based on Odyssey's reputation and the reasonable prices available. I did not want to spend big bucks on some of the recent additions to the market. You should be able to buy this putter at a very reasonable price, and it is a quality putter.
Odyssey putters that I have owned are extremely easy to get use too. I have played with many different putters including Titleist's and Ping models, but I would reccomend all golfers to try putting with an Odyssey Putter and they will switch. The alignment, balance, and feel are so superior to any I have played with. Thanks Karlton Rudolph
