Putters

Choosing the Right Disc Golf Putter

The right putter inspires confidence. While putting style and grip are personal preferences, understanding stability, plastic, and intended use can help you find the perfect fit.

For Putting

Most players choose a putter that feels comfortable in the hand and provides a consistent release. Base plastics are popular because they offer excellent grip in a variety of weather conditions.

For Approach Shots

Many golfers carry a separate approach putter in premium plastic for added durability. Stable and overstable putters are excellent for controlled upshots, forehands, and windy conditions.

Stability

• Understable: Gentle turnovers and straight finishes with less power.
• Stable: Reliable, neutral flights for putting and throwing.
• Overstable: Dependable fade, wind resistance, and precision approaches.

Plastic Types

Base plastics maximize grip and are ideal for putting, while premium plastics maintain their flight characteristics longer and are commonly used for throwing putters and approach discs.

What is a disc golf putter?

A putter is the slowest, most accurate type of disc golf disc. It's designed primarily for putting but is also widely used for approach shots and controlled drives.

Should I use the same putter for putting and throwing?

Many players carry separate putters for each purpose. A base plastic putter is often used for putting, while a premium plastic version is reserved for throws and approach shots.

What's the difference between a putter and a midrange?

Putters are slower and designed for maximum control and accuracy. Midranges fly farther with slightly more speed while remaining highly controllable.

Which stability should I choose?

• Understable: Straight flights and gentle turnovers.
• Stable: Versatile putting and throwing.
• Overstable: Windy conditions, forehands, and dependable fade.
