DFX Rossie

The DFX Rossie is Odyssey's mallet variant within the DFX line, built around the head shape parpractical.com describes as a Rossie mallet.

Odyssey's own materials frame the DFX line by its insert rather than by any single head shape. The maker's page calls DFX "engineered with our softest insert technology ever," and states plainly that "the DFX insert is actually softer than our legendary White Hot insert for golfers who want smooth feel and roll on the greens." The same page puts a number on that difference: "the DFX Insert is 20% softer than White Hot for players who want smooth feel and roll." Odyssey also markets the line on looks as much as feel, noting it comes with "a premium all-black head design from the body to the insert."

Within that line, the Rossie designation marks this release out as the mallet head option, set against whatever blade or Anser-style counterparts Odyssey offered under the same DFX insert and finish. The insert claims and the all-black cosmetic treatment apply to the DFX line as a whole, not to the Rossie head shape specifically, so a golfer weighing this release is really deciding whether the Rossie mallet shape suits their stroke while the softer, 20 percent claim and black finish come along as line-wide traits rather than anything unique to this head.
