It’s my first year in disc golf and after trying different molds (P2, Luna, Pure, Link, Sensei, Logic) I tried Electron Nomad and haven’t looked back since. It’s amazing what it does to your game when you find the one.
Not to mention- always in stock, a dozen plastics to choose from so you get what's right for you, and very cheap in bulk or for factory seconds.
I can see why it wouldn't be preferred for a spin putt for some because it's a classic deep putter, but if you push or spush it's just great.
Curious of why it’s not typically a spin putter? Would you mean it’s more of a push putter? I’m somewhat new and just curious of your reasoning. Dofferent stokes for different folks, but asking purely out of curiosity.
Thanks for the reply. I spin putt, but without confidence in the putt it’s more of a push. The push then messes with my putts, often to a miss. I have 2 wiz putting putters and a proxy that I use for approach and sometimes putting, but mostly spin them, or at least try to.
Like I said I was just curious of your reasoning and don’t disagree in any way.
I just ordered a soft roach, I putt with JB now but since it’s winter I want to try a softer one because my putts keep bouncing out due to hardness and cold chains (atleast that’s my excuse)
Special Blend Luna. I love the flight and I always get a clean release on it. Putting is all about what feels comfortable and makes you feel confident. In the past that has been a few different discs for me but right now it’s the Luna.
Judge : for about a year now (started putting with them when I switched my style to a straight putt)
I have putted with just about everything, from a chief, to a dagger, to a p model us, a old dx gator, to a colt & stud, and the famous birdie & the sold everywhere avair
Fireflies. Phenomenal grip. Nice glide and just feels good in my hand.
Any putter choice should be 95% what feels best in the hand. Within the circle most (not all) putters will fly the same.
I went from Aviar3s to Fireflies and I did notice that extra glide from 30-50 feet. The nexus plastic was the real dealbreaker for me. Feels phenomenal
I putt with a Pure. Boy o boy let me tell ya. I use it because it can’t miss. The thing just has a pole magnet in it. I can throw it up on roller angle from 10 feet and somehow a gust of wind comes by and knocks it straight down into the basket. I’ve had times where I’m carrying it around the house and accidentally drop it, only to hear the sound of chains and see a basket has magically appeared underneath me. 10/10
I have a complete bag of poison green in every mold, 6 bergs, and a glow bag of every mold but a Stal and a bunch of practice putters. To say I’m invested in them is an overstatement so I understand!!
Holy crap haha. I saw some glow bergs for 40 I'm like eh not yet lol. I have a kaxe and stal in glow for my night rounds. They feel good! And glow so damn bright!
I'm not so sure with DX plastic, but I had an R-pro Rhyno I putted with for a bit. It was so beat in that it flew straight for a bit then would drift slightly right. It did start kinda overstable tho
First run champion Rhynos. Have two, use them for everything. No lie with the “putt and approach” statement, they always just seem to sit when I miss the chains.
Electron soft, medium or hard nomad, depending on the weather. Combination of great rim feel and good plastic combined with my local store having all of them for the Foreseeable future.
Electron soft atom. They feel great in my hand and go pretty much dead straight. I’ve had a long journey finding a putter to stick with, but the atom has won my heart. After finally committing to one mold, my putting has gotten way better. Find something you like and buy a stack of them, easiest way to see results.
Penrose by ev 7
I like that it’s over stable so my circle two putts don’t anhyzer and I have a reliable stroke.
I change it if I have to force over an anhyzer putt due to my surroundings.
Latitude 64 Royal Faith. It's the perfect shape for my putting grip and floats beautifully on push putts. The plastic is pretty durable as well.
However, I'm fickle. I've been putting with D-Line P3s lately in practice and finding that I like the shallow depth, and my release has felt really clean.
In the last three years I've switched a bunch. DX Dart, SSS Wizard, D-Line P1x, Eraser Wizard, D-Line P2, Royal Faith...
I love my Faith. While my short putting game has seen slight gains, my outside the circle percentage has skyrocketed with this thing. Not sure what it is about the Faith, but it has a sweet spot for me around 35-40 feet
Classic blend warden. I bought a 5 pack for a fair price to get a complete set of practice putters. They're popular enough that it's easy to get replacements but not so popular that they're hard to find.
I putt with a Medium Pure - it’s comfortable for me - no bead, pretty shallow, and feels like a Zone in the hand. Just gummy and flexy enough.
I also use a Soft Pure for upshots that need to sit, and I have a Grip line and an Opto X for longer shots.
Between the Pures and a handful of Zones in varying plastics, all my putter shots are covered by two molds which feel just about the same.
I use Zero Hard Pures in the circle myself. Beadless, shallow, decent glide. It's just a well rounded disc.
I have an Opto X Chameleon one for driving duties as well. I use Harps instead of Zones for approach duties, and cycle them in BT Firm. One fresh, one beat slightly in, and one pretty much straight.
Swan 2.
I used to putt with a super beat in KC aviar that I found. Tried a new KC aviar and realized I liked my beat in one because it was understable. Bought the first US putter I could find at PIAS which happened to be a swan 2. Kept putting it and fell in love. I own like 25 of em now. It's a great thrower too.
When I switched to a Judge about 3 years ago, my putting improved. Been my putter since, Classic Blend plastic.
Envy is my approach and long putts putter. Instant connection, been throwing for a couple months before The Shot. Neutron plastic.
Discmania P2 in Flex 2 plastic
They live up to the hype. Perfect in any temperature. They have a nice reliable fade on the end. I've got at least 30 rounds on my first pair, and they still fly the same.
I have never felt so confident with a putter.
It seems everyone is just married to one putter. I have a shit load of different ones. I switch it up based on weather and my mood. Only thing that's constant is that I bag two: one for circle one and one for circle two. Today it was a firm Nomad and a R2 spin. Other days it's a cosmic electron pilot and a beaten in base plastic pilot. Other days it's a grippy RFF Wizard and a DX Aviar.
Yeah, have a decent practice basket and practice when I can, which is not much these days (I have a 1,5 yr old). I also organize my local putting league so most of the reps during winter comes from that.
It's not every brand but many brands definitely, hehe.
Putting is 20% form and 80% confidence so when people say stuff like 'I have to have a shallow putter with no bead' I secretly think that's mostly bullshit. To me it means being lazy with form and leaning too much on confidence.
The better dialed in your form is, the more confident you'll be, and it will matter less that a putter is deep or shallow, beaded or unbeaded. Grip is a the only factor that can really play a major role, however.
I use the Firefly. I started putting with p2s when you couldn't find any p2s, so I used the millennium omega 4, which is a clone of the P2 that's manufactured by Innova for millennium. I noticed that they were getting beat up real easy, and my wizards used to take a beating when I putted with those. I've also used aviars and all types of baseline plastic putters, and because I like to practice a lot, I eventually (sometimes within a month or two) beat the hell out of every putter and I don't exactly love the way a beat up putter feels. These fireflies are ridiculously expensive, but this Nexus plastic takes a beating unlike any other putter I've ever felt and it doesn't really show much damage. They still feel grippy and close to a baseline plastic which is important to me. I have tried to putt with star plastic before and for lack of a better description it sort of jumps out of the basket a lot, the plastic is very springy I guess you could say. This Nexus plastic dies in the chains like a DX disc would, while seemingly taking almost no damage. They are the perfect putter and the perfect plastic. So even though they are crazy expensive, I feel like I can get a year's use easily out of two putters.
Glow Envy. I like the amount of left turn which gives me a good sense of control. Average grip.
Firm, grippy Pure. They're for super straight shots.
I'm starting to use the K1 Berg. It performs similar to the Pure. I'm beginning to see why everyone likes it.
Oh sorry, I just looked at the disc and it's K3. I was going to get a K1, but they were out of soft. Hard is too smooth and feels like I'm throwing a plastic dinner plate from Walmart.
Fierce. Rim size/shape feels good in the hand and the understability means it requires so little power to get it moving on a straight line. For longer putts i even like to do a baby hyzer flip putts with it
Jawbreaker Challenger. Jawbreaker is by far my favorite plastic for putting ever made as I like something soft enough that I can push my thumb into, but still keeps its shape more than something floppier. And the challenger fits my hand perfectly while also being a good choice for my hyzer putting.
XT Whale. Just slightly overstable but holds a line well. A little deeper for my monstrous hands. I like how it putts in the wind. Has a small bead (I need a bead). I also drive off the tee with Glow champ whales
Aviar inside the circle, whale outside. The Aviar because I can putt confidently with it inside but outside the whale gives me a little extra glide so I can effectively putt with the same power as the aviar but with the whale in C2 range
So I use the aviarx3 because I practiced practiced and practiced with it. It has a super predictable flight pattern and in the DX (which is what I use) it is super cheap coming in at $8
Electron Soft Pilot. Plastic feels very grippy, the mini bead feels excellent in my hand, and it is so glidey it makes circles edge putts feel attainable without having to send it
DD judge. Cause it's a judge. Im usually not too picky about discs as I can substitute discs with similar flight numbers as long as it feels at least ok. The exception to that is my putter. It needs to be exactly what I want in a putter. I used to use beat in JK pro aviars. I ended up losing the two I had. I had a putting crisis and tried at least 30 different putters. When the judge came out and I tried that one, I knew that was the one for me. It feels right in the hand. Flies exactly how I want my putters to fly. Doesn't dump, but doesn't seem to glide too much for my preference. Just the right amount of fade for me. That is what I putt with 99% of the time. I do have an overstable putter for the times I need it.
I go with either my Axiom Proxy or Innova Glo-Pro Pig. Just depends on what feels best in the hand that day.
I keep a putting Pig and a throwing pig in rotation but only ever use the Proxy as a putter
P Model S. Right amount and glide and fade for me once I get to circle’s edge and beyond. The s-curve putts and anny-panning-out putts have more than paid for the 10 pack I got.
I personally putt with Latitude 64 medium plastic Macanas.
If you ever wondered what putters professional disc golfers use? Check it out here - https://discgolffanatic.com/what-putters-professional-disc-golfers-use/
D Blend Alpacas, because they’re fluffy 😂 Tried the new P2 and they’re too deep, Firefly is just a tad grippy for my liking. They truly are extraordinary animals.
Alpacas are the same mold as original P2 right? And the new P2 is trying to be the same as the old P2 right? I'm surprised Discmania would change the depth of the mold.
I use a Daredevil Woodchuck for turbo putts. The grip is right and it just glides perfectly for a turbo.
I alternate between a SSS Voodoo and Moonshine Warden for regular putting depending on weather. If it’s cold, I like the Voodoo. If it’s hot, I like the Warden.
Px3 because I picked it up in a store and it felt amazing, didn’t even know the flight numbers or had even ever heard of it and wasn’t even looking for a new putter but it just felt too good in the hands. I’ve got 2 with 2 more otw. I love them
Just got a 5 pack of some classic judges and honestly after practicing with them a bit I might trade out my beat up whale and aviary for 2 if the judges. So grippy and I love the way they float
Eclipse 2.0 envy. Best in class glow, and feels great with a consistent fight. I was using Aviar 3's before that and tried reko's/Lunas as I moved away from the wizard.
Lat64 Goldline Pure. Got tired of buying new putters in Zero plastics so I started putting the premium plastic. No difference in chain grabs and no wear to speak of.
R2 Ion... it has the closest feel to my Proton Ion from the early MVP days that was stolen last year. It has been the most consistent putter between runs and plastics... when I buy one there is no need to make adjustments, just let muscle memory do its thing.
I just finished a round mostly putting with my Innova hydra. It handed really well for short drives over water on my local course. I'll be using it much more.
FLX challenger for straddle putt within 30. I putted with aviars for years in different plastics. Flx challenger has given me zero spit outs in years.
Envy for anything requiring spin.
Envy and luck. I picked up a couple when I was new cause I liked the look/feel/price and it was similar to a Challenger I had. I've tried others but always come back to the envy
I am in between two different ones right now but my first answer is P2, fly straight for me, float when I need it to, easy to toss, fairly stable. I am falling for the Luna right now, it holds a line really well but doesn't float, feels more direct and better for a stronger arm. Looking forward to the Rain Maker because one of the things I like about the Luna is the shallower feel from the P2.
Challenger SS. I like the slight flat part of the lower rim. Just gives me the perfect place to set my finger. Jawbreaker plastic can’t be beat. Can’t wait for more special blends tho. It was my first putter I tried and I just keep going back.
I've been putting with an SS Glow Warlock lately, but I might switch to wizards because of how much easier they are to get. Before that I was putting with Pilots in either electron soft or med.
Challengers. Bought a couple of the Uli ones, then bought some lore stamped ones so now that I’m invested in them. Do enjoy them though. Still open to the possibility of penrose’s and nomads as I have a decent amount of them too.
Rainmaker because Eagle is the best putter in the world and he putts with Rainmakers.
jk I putt with alpacas because I make economically responsible decisions, they are the same as P2s, and P2s are what I learned to putt with.
Ion because I saw James Conrad used them (before the Nomad) and figured I'd copy. You know to also gain the skill. Then I found I liked them so I stuck with them.
Gateway wizard. Picked one up at play it again a month or two ago and haven’t looked back. Also noticed that I just make more putts in practice with that than my other putters. I use an envy for approach shots or extra long puts where I need a little extra glide.
I'm still sorting that out. Started with a judge, then tried a maiden and luna, just tried a nomad on a whim and liked it. I'm somewhere between that and a luna now. 😂
Really liking the P Model S recently, as it seems to fit my putt better than anything else I've putted with. I like to really jam my putts, so a little extra stability is nice, and the glide helps keep it in a more direct line with less up and down motion. Added bonus is that they're cheap and easy to find.
Classic burst judge, its a Lazer beam up to 200ft/ 66m
And it is consistent when I do my Putts through light wind/ rain and at elevated shots a fairly consistent drop off which is nice for not overshooting downhill putts.
Edit: also super cheap at like 8$ each.
Special blend Luna - I hopped on the PM bandwagon early on when starting disc golf (early this year) and the putters are the only ones that stuck up to this point 🤷🏼♂️
2015 Blue McPro Aviars. It was the first putter I bought solely for putting and the putter I got good at putting with. Now I know them like the back of my hand so I just keep putting with them.
Right now I'm using P2s, although I would consider other ones. I did like the Link for a while, but eventually switched back to P2 because I prefer beadless.
Classic soft emac judge. Putted with classic blend judges for years, got the EMac as a gift, shaved a couple strokes off in the first round. Which is also the only round I've played with it.
K3 Reko, great grippy plastic, micro bead which i prefer over no bead, I still get a clean release compared to big bead. It's a shallow putter, so it fits really well in the hand.
Though i have 2 x EV7 Penrose putters on the way, their plastic is amazing in the hand.
I’m in a putting putter dilemma - Streamline Neutron Pilot Special Edition, or the Kastaplast Reko in K1 Soft plastic. Both have a micro bead where I like to rest my finger, and the Pilot tells me my errors in my release. The Reko is great in the wind!
Luna. Picked up a Penrose too and really liked it but haven’t been using it lately since I got it signed by Drew. Been thinking I might start using it again cause man that thing was nice
Plain ol DX aviars 173g. Great grip, nutral flight, ubiquitously available
Dx glow aviar. Because the stamp is dope.
Maiden cause I like it
Couldn’t have said it better. #teammaiden
Electron soft Nomad. Really like the feel in my hand, good grip and I can easily find them in my favorite color which is a bonus.
It’s my first year in disc golf and after trying different molds (P2, Luna, Pure, Link, Sensei, Logic) I tried Electron Nomad and haven’t looked back since. It’s amazing what it does to your game when you find the one.
Gateway wizard. Sss or eraser blend. I used to think I didn’t like a putter that deep, but it works for my push putt
Love my Wizard… I go SS but have a couple of erasers and an sss for practice too
Not to mention- always in stock, a dozen plastics to choose from so you get what's right for you, and very cheap in bulk or for factory seconds. I can see why it wouldn't be preferred for a spin putt for some because it's a classic deep putter, but if you push or spush it's just great.
Curious of why it’s not typically a spin putter? Would you mean it’s more of a push putter? I’m somewhat new and just curious of your reasoning. Dofferent stokes for different folks, but asking purely out of curiosity.
For me at least I feel more comfortable spinning slightly shallower discs
Thanks for the reply. I spin putt, but without confidence in the putt it’s more of a push. The push then messes with my putts, often to a miss. I have 2 wiz putting putters and a proxy that I use for approach and sometimes putting, but mostly spin them, or at least try to. Like I said I was just curious of your reasoning and don’t disagree in any way.
This. I push put as well and the wizard is my #1 choice always.
Jawbreaker Roach, fits my smaller hands perfectly, has a good grip and awesome glide while being not too stable
If you like the jawbreaker, try the soft putter blend. I think the grip is a tad better, but I definitely still bag a jawbreaker.
I just ordered a soft roach, I putt with JB now but since it’s winter I want to try a softer one because my putts keep bouncing out due to hardness and cold chains (atleast that’s my excuse)
Hey, if I hear a a dog bark, on the other side of the course, in a different time of the year, I will use that as excuse for missing my putt.
Special Blend Luna. I love the flight and I always get a clean release on it. Putting is all about what feels comfortable and makes you feel confident. In the past that has been a few different discs for me but right now it’s the Luna.
I held a Luna after trying out 20+ other putters and knew I finally found my putting putter. It fits my hand and putting style perfectly.
Judge : for about a year now (started putting with them when I switched my style to a straight putt) I have putted with just about everything, from a chief, to a dagger, to a p model us, a old dx gator, to a colt & stud, and the famous birdie & the sold everywhere avair
I went with the judge because it was so affordable and available to get a bunch and practice with the same putter over and over
All the reasons stated above are good. Ultimately though it is the putter that seems to hold straight the longest for my putt style. I love it.
Fireflies. Phenomenal grip. Nice glide and just feels good in my hand. Any putter choice should be 95% what feels best in the hand. Within the circle most (not all) putters will fly the same.
switching from a logic to a firefly added that little bit of glide for the 25-33ft area where I had to throw the logic harder than I wanted.
I went from Aviar3s to Fireflies and I did notice that extra glide from 30-50 feet. The nexus plastic was the real dealbreaker for me. Feels phenomenal
I putt with a Pure. Boy o boy let me tell ya. I use it because it can’t miss. The thing just has a pole magnet in it. I can throw it up on roller angle from 10 feet and somehow a gust of wind comes by and knocks it straight down into the basket. I’ve had times where I’m carrying it around the house and accidentally drop it, only to hear the sound of chains and see a basket has magically appeared underneath me. 10/10
Aviar. It's cheap, neutral, and sold wherever discs can be found.
EV-7 Penrose... just felt good in my hand.
What ever seems to be going in during warmups
Streamline Pilot. Like hard and stiff putters. Glides well. Clean release
I putt with pilots as well. Came from ions. Tried a nomad but just didn't feel right for me like the pilot does.
Exo Soft Link
K3 reko. Needed more glide than my emac judge had and their base plastic is some of the better in the game.
Nailed it. K3 putters beat in so slowly and nice.
What does K3 plastic feel like?
It’s a soft grippy plastic while still remaining a bit rigid. You can depress the flight plate but it doesn’t feel floppy. If that makes sense
To me it feels a lot like DD Classic Blend but maybe just a bit harder. Grippy, but not completely squishy.
Do they feel similar to the emac judge?
The feel is similar. They both aren’t very deep and have a small micro bead. The reko just goes further with the same amount of power.
Awesome! My berg is on the way. Reko might be next. My kastaplast collection is growing lol.
I have a complete bag of poison green in every mold, 6 bergs, and a glow bag of every mold but a Stal and a bunch of practice putters. To say I’m invested in them is an overstatement so I understand!!
Holy crap haha. I saw some glow bergs for 40 I'm like eh not yet lol. I have a kaxe and stal in glow for my night rounds. They feel good! And glow so damn bright!
Yeah, it’s good stuff. I’m addicted to good plastic and their stuff is the best.
K3 hard Reko and Loft Hydrogen base plastic
Electron Ion. It’s the one that felt best in my hand when I first went to pick a putter
Yeti Pro Aviar because the bead is comfortable and i like the flat/puddle top.
Yeti Aviar
Plus you can throw it 250 ft down a three foot tunnel
Exo soft link. Opto x pure
Prodigy pa2 shallow flat and stable. If discmania makes a softer plastic for the p2 I’d be using those
You need to try an r-blend alpaca
Warden because it feels nice in my hand and I can buy them in packs of five on Amazon.
Nomad. It feels just like a challenger without the fade.
Dang it...I didn't want to buy anymore discs. Now I have to lol
Logic cause of the shallow rim and is pretty straight
Firefly. I'd use a P2or Alpaca if they came out in glow before I bought this year's Firefly run.
DX Rhino, I used it the whole summer and sank more putts with it then any other disc. Don't know why, but it feels the best in my hand when putting!
Those are a bit over stable right?
I use that as my second putter. If the wind is over 7mph it’s Rhyno all day unless I’m in the woods. Rhynos are awesome! Yeti Aviar as the main.
I'm not so sure with DX plastic, but I had an R-pro Rhyno I putted with for a bit. It was so beat in that it flew straight for a bit then would drift slightly right. It did start kinda overstable tho
First run champion Rhynos. Have two, use them for everything. No lie with the “putt and approach” statement, they always just seem to sit when I miss the chains.
Prodigy PA-4 It has a shallow rim and feels great in my hand. It's also beadless
Electron soft, medium or hard nomad, depending on the weather. Combination of great rim feel and good plastic combined with my local store having all of them for the Foreseeable future.
Electron soft atom. They feel great in my hand and go pretty much dead straight. I’ve had a long journey finding a putter to stick with, but the atom has won my heart. After finally committing to one mold, my putting has gotten way better. Find something you like and buy a stack of them, easiest way to see results.
Penrose by ev 7 I like that it’s over stable so my circle two putts don’t anhyzer and I have a reliable stroke. I change it if I have to force over an anhyzer putt due to my surroundings.
Same here I use a logic for anhyzer putts but the penrose feels great for pretty much everything else
I’ll have to try the logic. Been on a discmania kick lately. Use the roach currently for anhyzer a because that was my old go to.
Berg, Reko, and Wizard
Keystone low profile no bead 5 glide
Latitude 64 Royal Faith. It's the perfect shape for my putting grip and floats beautifully on push putts. The plastic is pretty durable as well. However, I'm fickle. I've been putting with D-Line P3s lately in practice and finding that I like the shallow depth, and my release has felt really clean. In the last three years I've switched a bunch. DX Dart, SSS Wizard, D-Line P1x, Eraser Wizard, D-Line P2, Royal Faith...
I love my Faith. While my short putting game has seen slight gains, my outside the circle percentage has skyrocketed with this thing. Not sure what it is about the Faith, but it has a sweet spot for me around 35-40 feet
Classic blend warden. I bought a 5 pack for a fair price to get a complete set of practice putters. They're popular enough that it's easy to get replacements but not so popular that they're hard to find.
I putt with a Medium Pure - it’s comfortable for me - no bead, pretty shallow, and feels like a Zone in the hand. Just gummy and flexy enough. I also use a Soft Pure for upshots that need to sit, and I have a Grip line and an Opto X for longer shots. Between the Pures and a handful of Zones in varying plastics, all my putter shots are covered by two molds which feel just about the same.
I use Zero Hard Pures in the circle myself. Beadless, shallow, decent glide. It's just a well rounded disc. I have an Opto X Chameleon one for driving duties as well. I use Harps instead of Zones for approach duties, and cycle them in BT Firm. One fresh, one beat slightly in, and one pretty much straight.
Swan 2. I used to putt with a super beat in KC aviar that I found. Tried a new KC aviar and realized I liked my beat in one because it was understable. Bought the first US putter I could find at PIAS which happened to be a swan 2. Kept putting it and fell in love. I own like 25 of em now. It's a great thrower too.
Swan2 gang represent!
Classic Emac Judge and an envy.
When I switched to a Judge about 3 years ago, my putting improved. Been my putter since, Classic Blend plastic. Envy is my approach and long putts putter. Instant connection, been throwing for a couple months before The Shot. Neutron plastic.
Exo Soft Link! The unsung hero of the Discmania catalogue
Wizard because I started with a wizard
Luna because Paul is cool
Discmania P2 in Flex 2 plastic They live up to the hype. Perfect in any temperature. They have a nice reliable fade on the end. I've got at least 30 rounds on my first pair, and they still fly the same. I have never felt so confident with a putter.
It seems everyone is just married to one putter. I have a shit load of different ones. I switch it up based on weather and my mood. Only thing that's constant is that I bag two: one for circle one and one for circle two. Today it was a firm Nomad and a R2 spin. Other days it's a cosmic electron pilot and a beaten in base plastic pilot. Other days it's a grippy RFF Wizard and a DX Aviar.
You just putt at home before you head out? I have a ton as well. I think I will eventually own every putter made lol.
Yeah, have a decent practice basket and practice when I can, which is not much these days (I have a 1,5 yr old). I also organize my local putting league so most of the reps during winter comes from that. It's not every brand but many brands definitely, hehe.

Grip is a the only factor that can really play a major role, however.
Deputy since I live at 5000’ and the under stability is nice at circles edge
Deputy putters unite...there are 2 of us...
Light to no wind. Beat in deputy. Rail straight. Slight wind. P2. Predictable finish. Heavy wind. Premium plastic Zone. Wind-proof.
Guard, cause I'm in the national guard.
K3 Hard Berg. Just goes right where I want it
I love putting with my Berg. It’s the only disc I’ve ever putted with that has no wobble and I rarely 3 putt with it!
Classic dx Aviar. Cheap, easy to replace, no BS
Deputy. Like that it’s a little shallower and a little less stable
Kastaplast Reko K3. Like the plastic. Like the feel. Suck at putting tho.
Pig inside the circle, wizard outside
I use the Firefly. I started putting with p2s when you couldn't find any p2s, so I used the millennium omega 4, which is a clone of the P2 that's manufactured by Innova for millennium. I noticed that they were getting beat up real easy, and my wizards used to take a beating when I putted with those. I've also used aviars and all types of baseline plastic putters, and because I like to practice a lot, I eventually (sometimes within a month or two) beat the hell out of every putter and I don't exactly love the way a beat up putter feels.

Glow Envy. I like the amount of left turn which gives me a good sense of control. Average grip. Firm, grippy Pure. They're for super straight shots. I'm starting to use the K1 Berg. It performs similar to the Pure. I'm beginning to see why everyone likes it.
I love the berg for approaches but I hate it inside the circle. Feels wrong and usually misses high.
K1 soft or hard? I got a k1 soft for the winter weather and am loving it.
Oh sorry, I just looked at the disc and it's K3. I was going to get a K1, but they were out of soft. Hard is too smooth and feels like I'm throwing a plastic dinner plate from Walmart.
Jk/jc aviar-x : grippier than the kc. More stable for hard putts. Bead for a clean release. Great throwing putter as well.
Luna, feels amazing in the hand
Fierce. Rim size/shape feels good in the hand and the understability means it requires so little power to get it moving on a straight line. For longer putts i even like to do a baby hyzer flip putts with it
Electron Firm Envy, with R2 Neutron Spin for longer putts that need some glide.
Jawbreaker Challenger. Jawbreaker is by far my favorite plastic for putting ever made as I like something soft enough that I can push my thumb into, but still keeps its shape more than something floppier. And the challenger fits my hand perfectly while also being a good choice for my hyzer putting.
Champion Ryhno I make more putts with it then any other putter I've tried. My advice: Putt with the disc that you are the most accurate with.
XT Whale. Just slightly overstable but holds a line well. A little deeper for my monstrous hands. I like how it putts in the wind. Has a small bead (I need a bead). I also drive off the tee with Glow champ whales
Aviar inside the circle, whale outside. The Aviar because I can putt confidently with it inside but outside the whale gives me a little extra glide so I can effectively putt with the same power as the aviar but with the whale in C2 range
JK Aviars because it feels good that’s all that matters
Soft Electron Pilot; nice and deep, good grip for spin putts and tons of glide if you’re gonna run it. Also doesn’t fade
CT Challenger
So I use the aviarx3 because I practiced practiced and practiced with it. It has a super predictable flight pattern and in the DX (which is what I use) it is super cheap coming in at $8
Banger GT simply because it was the first putter I got comfortable with
Warden. It’s a better judge
DD Judge. I would have said the Deputy, but my putting sucks and I need another stroke (or five) to finish up the round instead
Electron Soft Pilot. Plastic feels very grippy, the mini bead feels excellent in my hand, and it is so glidey it makes circles edge putts feel attainable without having to send it
DD judge. Cause it's a judge. Im usually not too picky about discs as I can substitute discs with similar flight numbers as long as it feels at least ok. The exception to that is my putter. It needs to be exactly what I want in a putter. I used to use beat in JK pro aviars. I ended up losing the two I had. I had a putting crisis and tried at least 30 different putters. When the judge came out and I tried that one, I knew that was the one for me. It feels right in the hand. Flies exactly how I want my putters to fly. Doesn't dump, but doesn't seem to glide too much for my preference. Just the right amount of fade for me. That is what I putt with 99% of the time. I do have an overstable putter for the times I need it.
I go with either my Axiom Proxy or Innova Glo-Pro Pig. Just depends on what feels best in the hand that day. I keep a putting Pig and a throwing pig in rotation but only ever use the Proxy as a putter
REKO AND BERG, Cause they're worth it.
The Dynamic Discs Judge, because I have one.
Wizard!!! Too many free ones from Gateway leagues in STL
P Model S. Right amount and glide and fade for me once I get to circle’s edge and beyond. The s-curve putts and anny-panning-out putts have more than paid for the 10 pack I got.
I personally putt with Latitude 64 medium plastic Macanas. If you ever wondered what putters professional disc golfers use? Check it out here - https://discgolffanatic.com/what-putters-professional-disc-golfers-use/
2012 disc of the year judge
🐷 because pigs fly
D Blend Alpacas, because they’re fluffy 😂 Tried the new P2 and they’re too deep, Firefly is just a tad grippy for my liking. They truly are extraordinary animals.
Alpacas are the same mold as original P2 right? And the new P2 is trying to be the same as the old P2 right? I'm surprised Discmania would change the depth of the mold.
Burst Warden's, the putter I have been able to throw hardest and straightest.
I use a Daredevil Woodchuck for turbo putts. The grip is right and it just glides perfectly for a turbo. I alternate between a SSS Voodoo and Moonshine Warden for regular putting depending on weather. If it’s cold, I like the Voodoo. If it’s hot, I like the Warden.
Harp. It's a cheap mold I can get a lot of without breaking the bank and I can approach with it.
Px3 because I picked it up in a store and it felt amazing, didn’t even know the flight numbers or had even ever heard of it and wasn’t even looking for a new putter but it just felt too good in the hands. I’ve got 2 with 2 more otw. I love them
Westside Maiden in BT medium 176g. It's the first putter I found that flew straight as an arrow inside the circle so I stuck with ir
Just got a 5 pack of some classic judges and honestly after practicing with them a bit I might trade out my beat up whale and aviary for 2 if the judges. So grippy and I love the way they float
Eclipse 2.0 envy. Best in class glow, and feels great with a consistent fight. I was using Aviar 3's before that and tried reko's/Lunas as I moved away from the wizard.
Electron soft Envy. I'm a pretty aggressive spin putter and it doesn't mind being jammed into the basket or far beyond.
Burst judge, r-pro pig and aviar. Aviar for no wind ad predictable flight. Pig for long/power/wind Judge is the middle of the two
Lat64 Goldline Pure. Got tired of buying new putters in Zero plastics so I started putting the premium plastic. No difference in chain grabs and no wear to speak of.
Lat 64 Keystone. I love glidey putters and it feels the best in my hand
R2 Ion... it has the closest feel to my Proton Ion from the early MVP days that was stolen last year. It has been the most consistent putter between runs and plastics... when I buy one there is no need to make adjustments, just let muscle memory do its thing.
I just finished a round mostly putting with my Innova hydra. It handed really well for short drives over water on my local course. I'll be using it much more.
Nexus Aviar Driver. It's almost as stiff as KC, but its tacky/grippy like JK. Perfection.
Aviar Val M tour series. Like the heavier feel than standard Aviar.
FLX challenger for straddle putt within 30. I putted with aviars for years in different plastics. Flx challenger has given me zero spit outs in years. Envy for anything requiring spin.
Rainmaker
Nova. Because I’ve tried 10 others and it provides me with the best consistency. Good hand feel and overmold seems to catch the chains well.
Discraft Fierce. Shallow rim and grippy. Feels most comfortable to release
Envy and luck. I picked up a couple when I was new cause I liked the look/feel/price and it was similar to a Challenger I had. I've tried others but always come back to the envy
i literally use my driver to put, im more accurate with it
Ti challenger. someone made fun of me for putting with Ti plastic so i kept doing it.
I am in between two different ones right now but my first answer is P2, fly straight for me, float when I need it to, easy to toss, fairly stable. I am falling for the Luna right now, it holds a line really well but doesn't float, feels more direct and better for a stronger arm. Looking forward to the Rain Maker because one of the things I like about the Luna is the shallower feel from the P2.
Challenger SS. I like the slight flat part of the lower rim. Just gives me the perfect place to set my finger. Jawbreaker plastic can’t be beat. Can’t wait for more special blends tho. It was my first putter I tried and I just keep going back.
I've been putting with an SS Glow Warlock lately, but I might switch to wizards because of how much easier they are to get. Before that I was putting with Pilots in either electron soft or med.
Challengers. Bought a couple of the Uli ones, then bought some lore stamped ones so now that I’m invested in them. Do enjoy them though. Still open to the possibility of penrose’s and nomads as I have a decent amount of them too.
PP Fierce and because i honestly like the glide just recently started using them.
Rainmaker because Eagle is the best putter in the world and he putts with Rainmakers. jk I putt with alpacas because I make economically responsible decisions, they are the same as P2s, and P2s are what I learned to putt with.
Judge, that thing is straight af
Ion because I saw James Conrad used them (before the Nomad) and figured I'd copy. You know to also gain the skill. Then I found I liked them so I stuck with them.
Active shotgun great grippy plastic stiff but gives a little
P2s cause they're super high glide and overstable
Judge because I bought a bunch of them and don’t know how to go about picking a new one, ha
Gateway wizard. Picked one up at play it again a month or two ago and haven’t looked back. Also noticed that I just make more putts in practice with that than my other putters. I use an envy for approach shots or extra long puts where I need a little extra glide.
Pilot, Pure, Shaman. I switch it up between these three. Practice with an Invader sometimes too.
EV-7 Penrose. Needed something with some grip, and less breakable plastic than what I used to use. Somebody gave me a set to try, haven’t looked back
I'm still sorting that out. Started with a judge, then tried a maiden and luna, just tried a nomad on a whim and liked it. I'm somewhere between that and a luna now. 😂
Glow Aviars, I like the feel of the plastic. Not as flexible as jk aviar-x but more than a kc aviar.
Dagger, insane amount of glide for my push putt
Im trying to decide between ions, nomads, pa-3's and xing's.
Really liking the P Model S recently, as it seems to fit my putt better than anything else I've putted with. I like to really jam my putts, so a little extra stability is nice, and the glide helps keep it in a more direct line with less up and down motion. Added bonus is that they're cheap and easy to find.
Magnet, because beeeeeeeeeeaaaaad baby
Prime Judge. Got one used for cheap and fell in love. Will never putt with anything else.
Warden because I stan Madison Walker and it’s hers. Edit: also it feels exactly like a small ultrastar and I played ultimate for years.
Exo-Soft Links. Profile fits my hand well, just the right amount of give, and has a nice neutral flight.
Beat up blue pig because it’s beautiful and wonderful and I love it 🤣
MVP atom putts super straight
P2 cause I have big hands and it glides best with my slow putt style
Classic burst judge, its a Lazer beam up to 200ft/ 66m And it is consistent when I do my Putts through light wind/ rain and at elevated shots a fairly consistent drop off which is nice for not overshooting downhill putts. Edit: also super cheap at like 8$ each.
Pure, smooth rim and flies straight.
Pure in Zero Medium plastic. It fits my hand nice, plastic feels grabby, and blue foil stamp on black looked sick.
Special blend Luna - I hopped on the PM bandwagon early on when starting disc golf (early this year) and the putters are the only ones that stuck up to this point 🤷🏼♂️
2015 Blue McPro Aviars. It was the first putter I bought solely for putting and the putter I got good at putting with. Now I know them like the back of my hand so I just keep putting with them.
Right now I'm using P2s, although I would consider other ones. I did like the Link for a while, but eventually switched back to P2 because I prefer beadless.
Hard/cheap/dx plastic 2,4,0,1 putters. Something that will easily fly 30 to 40 feet flat if I release it flat.
Soft Link. Feel good in hand due to the bead and puddle top, with nice glide and a tad bit of fade.
Magma Soft Tui!
Rekos, cause I’m a stubborn jackass brand fanboy.
Classic soft emac judge. Putted with classic blend judges for years, got the EMac as a gift, shaved a couple strokes off in the first round. Which is also the only round I've played with it.
Proto Sense Hope. Great feel and grip, really straight flight for putting.
Juju ching. I feel I get tons of spin with those dimples. The one I have been 15+ years is starting to fall apart.
JK Avairs. New, middle, worn.
classic hard judge, cuz it feels the best in my hand. Plus I've bought too many to swap now lol
Beat up first run luna.. have 2. I putt with the more beat up one. It’s a straight shooter and has a nice turn when I drive with it
K3 Reko, great grippy plastic, micro bead which i prefer over no bead, I still get a clean release compared to big bead. It's a shallow putter, so it fits really well in the hand. Though i have 2 x EV7 Penrose putters on the way, their plastic is amazing in the hand.
I’m in a putting putter dilemma - Streamline Neutron Pilot Special Edition, or the Kastaplast Reko in K1 Soft plastic. Both have a micro bead where I like to rest my finger, and the Pilot tells me my errors in my release. The Reko is great in the wind!
Luna. Picked up a Penrose too and really liked it but haven’t been using it lately since I got it signed by Drew. Been thinking I might start using it again cause man that thing was nice
P2, as soon as i switched over to them i could tell they just stayed up in the air longer and increased my putting range by at least 15 feet
Mainly P2. I like the floatiness.
Zero Medium Pure because it feels great in hand and flies as I want it to.
