After several years and dozens of molds, I have settled on the DD Deputy 175g in the classic blend plastic. Great grip, fits my hand nicely with its fairly shallow profile. Love the straight flight outside of circle one with a little extra glide to get my spin putts there. A big bonus is they are readily available! I have 15 identical Deputies. A special thanks to the sales team at DD!
We watched this video last week when it came out. I'm honestly pretty happy with my putter molds but the part about finding your grip by tossing the disc up and catching it naturally was something new. The way I catch the disc (fan grip) was about the complete opposite of how I had been putting most of the time. It felt completely wrong and like I had no control at all. But I'm generally willing to try any suggestion from someone who knows more than me. 3 rounds later it still feels entirely wrong but I've improved my made putts percentage by at least 30 percent, my misses are landing a lot closer to the cage, and I got my first legit birdie ever with a long putt. Thanks Robbie!
There are good things in your future when you're willing to make changes to improve and allow results to drive your direction. As a coach (different sport - but same principles apply) I can tell you that it takes change to improve. Too many students want to improve by doing the same thing they've always done. Love hearing that you took the leap and stuck with it long enough to see if it really worked or not. The initial discomfort will always be there when you make a change. I hope you've continued to improve, but something tells me you have!
I have been narrowing in on a putter and 4 each of AviarX3, Aviar, and just ordered some XT Novas. I definitely agree that you need to have a few for long term putting practices; walking back and forth for 1 or even 2 is taking up a lot of time. 4 feels like a sweet spot for me.
I got the Roach for putting and the Challenger for throwing. Both in Jawbreaker plastic. Works really fine for me. Just need to get more consistent in my motion. I play for 3 months now and got a 60% in circle 1 range. Thanks for your videos! They are really great and i got a bunch of informations from them! Keep on doing that stuff! Greetings from Germany!

Just stumbled upon your channel. Robbie, you do a great job of dishing out very practical advice to us "intermediate-Wannabees". Enjoying what you are presenting. Keep up the great work!
I use 4S and 3S Wizards for putting and throw SB and RFF Wizards, but also carry 2 3S Magic’s. I have 10 of each 3S & 4S Wizards for practice and to keep in rotation. I mainly use the 3S for hotter days and my 4S for cooler days, but it depends on how they feel while I’m practicing before a round. I do have a dozen more Wizards in various plastics though because I was trying to figure out which plastic I liked the best for both putting and throwing. I still use those for practice along with a dozen more putters from different companies, but those are mainly for my friends to try when I get them to start playing.
A big factor for me is that I want a putter that is widely available and not coveted by collectors and scalpers. Signature discs, special runs of a plastic, etc. are all out. I had some original Imperial Eagle P2s that I loved but I ended up trading them so that I could start using something more replaceable. You don't want to be in a situation where if you lose or damage a putter somehow that you can't replace it or have to pay $$$ for one. I make exceptions to this for mids and drivers, but for putting putters, where I am going to want multiple for practice and possibly replacements, they've got to be commonly available.
@@JimJohnMarks Oh no, sorry. I know a guy from league with an all vibram bag and every one of his discs is beat to heck and ultra flippy but he refuses to get anything else.
I put with the R-Pro Rhyno in 175 weight and I have two. I have few DX Rhynos that I use for throwing putters but I’m probably going to get a premium plastic soon for that.
I used to putt with zero soft pures (for about a year and a half) and I have 6 of those. A couple weeks ago I realized that as I've gotten more comfortable with putting I don't like the way they sit in my hand - they don't feel like they fill my hand and are gripped securely - so I went on a putter hunt. Visited my FLDGS last Friday and picked up every. Mold. On. The. Shelf looking for one that feels right in my hand. Once I found the two best ones I gave them a few tosses to check the release and from that I came home with an MVP Anode in Electron plastic. Saturday was a tournament and (possibly a poor choice) I took that one new anode as my putter for the day. It passed the test! I felt confident with it in my hands and didn't have any issues crop up, so now I own 3. I hadn't heard the "Only use this putter for 2 months" advice before but it makes sense. The stack of pures will have to sit on the bench while I learn consistency with the new guys in town. Unexpected finding during this process: measurements are nice to have, but hand feel is king in choosing a mold. I HATE beaded discs. I don't like how they feel in any throwing grip, I don't like how they make the disc deeper...and the anode has a (small) bead. It turns out I was excluding half of the putter molds out there because of my preferences for throwing discs. When I picked up every putter in the store the top 5 I liked best were all beaded. Leave your preconceptions at the door and find what feels good!
I love your content and the way, you present it. I am Team Warden, 175 g, classic blend plastic, 15 of them. Main-Putters are classic blend moonshines with extra grip. All blue :-) Greetigs from Cologne, Germany!
Love your content RC. Keep it up, you’re really helping us newbs how to play the fantastic game of disc golf. You explain things better than the best pros. I can’t believe all your videos do not have over 100K views. Thanks for what you do 👍🏻
Got interested in disc golf, bought 2x innova starter pack (avair, shark, leopard in dx). Realised this was my new thing, bought an MVP blackhole basket. Wanted a bunch of putters to practice with.... only thing available in a 5 pack was DD Judge. Yeah, I'm a Judge guy now. I'll throw the avair for longer attempts because they're ~145g, but the 175g Judge is just so consistent.... sure that it probably because I throw 100 practice putts a day, but that's what it takes.
Great advice. I'm on Team Warden as well. 174 in Classic for me. I got 6 sweet orange ones with those flashy reflective stamps wiped off. Stiff, flat, and they fly great.
I putt and approach with K1 Bergs. They kick ass. Great for forehands and backhands and they are practically invincible. (Because they are so durable, I do generally use the same ones for putting and throwing, but maybe I will try getting a new one just for approaches for a bit…)
My first putter I bought 2 months ago from my starter kit on amazon. It's a 150 Aviar. Today I just bought my second putter a classic blend judge 173 g. Looking forward to trying out heavier putter
Complete beginner - using the EMAC Judge at 173g to putt but also using it for approaches. Can't tell what kind of plastic - don't see it on the stamp unless "prime burst" is a plastic. Comfortable in the hand - easy to grip. I ordered a 2nd Judge for most of the same reasons presented in this video: practice with the same disc, have a separate disk for approach, get fundamentals down with the same disc before experimenting. 2 months is different across players: instead of time duration, how many putts would you say is appropriate?
My go to putter is an axiom proton plastic envy. Have had 2 of them lost both can’t find any more so I have had a judge in my bag for awhile it’s back up but still like it and now I will throw that and I just bought a dagger in the retro blue plastic love it need to get more tho
Love my pure’s in zero hard. I have 7 and they are all max weight except for a 173g I use for jump putts 😊. Love the content Robbie. It really motivates me to get better.
1st thing i did when i got back into disc golf was buy 10 classic aviar...have since tried several molds to try and always bought in pairs since then. Never know when one of them may end up in the water during a round
Since there aren't any shops to go to in my area, and I'm not yet a year into playing, I currently have 2 envys, 2proxys, 2 links, 2 aviars, a swan, a Pierce and a P model lol. I think I've finally landed on the Envy as I like a shallow putter without a bead. (The Envy was the first putter I bought too. I know, I'm crazy.)
I putt (and throw) 175 g XT Novas. Basically the only person I know that putts with Novas but I like that they stand out. Also am working on adding turbo putting to my game which works great with the Nova because of how grippy the overmold rim is.
Max weight 2020 Tour Series Paul McBeth Luna. Starting putting with Westside Tournament Shields and when I switched to Discraft, the TS Luna just felt right. Love putting with premium plastic.
ive only been playing for about 7 weeks now and I love my keystone in I think base plastic. it is nice and grey. and I am comfortable from about 6M and in. or about 20 feet. I have mostly just been practicing putting. and distance. but distance is hard. putting is cool.
I’ve been playing for only a little longer than you and my distance is coming along but honestly the biggest factor in my scores is whether I’m having a good putting day. It’s so crucial
For putting (not driving or utility shots), 10 putters can be spendy. 5 works well. Even 3 (doing Uli's 3 disc drill) works. The huge thing is to actually practice. Many don't realize 200 shots only takes about 15 mins and it does wonders, even after a few days to a week. In fact, the results may addict you to practicing as it also benefits the long game (anecdotally, I tested this during quarantine throwing at least 200 a day for about 45 days--results: better release on longer shots (greatly reduced grip lock), more distance, and cleaner lines. I found the last motion in your putt, your wrist and grip, uses the same muscle/motion as the full throw (backhand)). Being a Push/Spush putter, I use a Warlock 175g for C1x and a little C2 I use a DX Roc for some C2. and a Prodigy PA4 for deeper C2 and a little beyond. Eventually people are going to have multiple putters in the bag...kind of like how ball golfers have multiple wedges. Putters rock.
Another great vid. I bag 5 putters in 4 molds. A Yeti for putting, a Yeti, R-Pro Rhyno, Ricky Pig, and the Wedge for approaches and drives...the wind and needed shape dictates which I use. I use the Rhyno for strong headwind putts. Learning your putters will shave strokes more quickly than throwing 50ft farther. Thanks again for the content Robbie C.
Great vid super helpful. I didn’t know how important a beaded line was for comfort until now, and I would always putt with 1 putter and 3 mids. This has changed my game so much thanks R/C!!
My putting putter is a DD marshal in prime plastic. I also bag a couple DD wardens, Innova aviar and kc pro aviar, discmania sensei, and westside harp.
premium plastic putter here, by that I mean Westside Discs Shield in tournament plastic. Grippy and durable, not too soft, but not stiff either... love this disc!
One of the best putting videos, I wish I saw this months earlier!! So helpful. Currently using Jawbreaker Banger GT for my putting putter, haven't found my throwing putter yet.
I'm on the hunt for a new putter. I use to use an aviar. Got a warden from a veterans for vets tournament and have been using it every since. I just picked up a p model s base grip and really like the feel of it, so I need to test it now.
I have been practing with my new Innova beginer disc set which has the Aviar Putt and approach disc. I often find myself consistently hitting putts inside of 10-15 ft. Outside of that distance, not so much..lol Great vid!
I got two pairs of Handeye stamped Wardens and Guards to practice my form (prime plastic, 173g) and a Deputy (prime, 173g) but picked up a Warlock in hemp SS (173g) which just feels amazing to me. Got two more Warlocks in nylon alloy (out of curiosity) and in diamond plastic (for throwing). Just picked up a Wizard in eraser to try out. I'm bagging my Gateways and the Deputy, and I mainly practice with the Warlocks now but sometimes run through the whole stack as they are fairly similar in flight (the Wardens, Guards, and Warlocks at least). Loveeee my hemp Warlock!
I'm a bit late to this comment section but anyway. At first I chose the Innova Rhino as my putter. I have one MyDye version, and three of the exact mold and plastic but just basic color for practice. After I got better at putting longer distance I found that the Rhino has no glide, and at that same time I won a Dynamic Disc Judge classic plastic double stamp and found the glide I was looking for and liked the feel. I have 6 of those now in different plastics. My throwing putters are a Discmania Link in GEO and an Aviar3 in Star Plastic. All my putters are around 170 to 175g. Thanks for the video!!!
I'm very new to Disc Golf and very late to this video. But after much consideration. I am going with the Prime Judge for my 2 month journey. Some close runner ups were the Dagger and the Luna. AND I still reserve the rights to my HALO STAR AVIAR that I found for later.... But per your recommendation. I will stick with 1 disc(x2) and get comfortable and consistent.
My putting putters are RPM Tui, which I have 5 base plastic (175g) and 3 in more premium(170-175g) I definitely prefer the base plastic for putting but the premium plastic has its uses for more specific inside the circle putts. My throwing putters are either the premium Tui's or Innova Pig (also my approach).
Settled on the Westside Swan 2 in Bt medium 173g. Great flight good feel and I like the deep dish. I have a match run of 5 so far. For throwing I use a 174g hard Harp. Consistent overstable backhand and forehand. I've been playing about 11 months now. Love the content Robbie, keep it up fam!
really loving lighter putters (169-171) that are a bit more firm. i’ve been rlly using the fierce for understable and the luna for a bit more stability
Px3, 300 plastic. I have 6 of them. Been using them for 3 months. Some days I can’t miss a putt other days good luck finding the basket. I’m also a spin putter. Not sure if a change in putter would help or maybe it’s my putting form
My current putter is the Alfa Discs Theios in copper plastic, of which i have two. My throwing putter is the Alfa Discs Snoopy in crystal plastic. Same mold, old name. No bead, but just deep enough for my not too large hands.
You failed to mention micro bead. *gasp* lol Somewhere between Warden and Judge I just found my favorite. The EMAC Judge. 10 of them arrived today. Streamline Pilot is great as well. I don't have many reps with it yet but I could see it become another favorite for a bit longer putts.
Haven’t played in years but getting back into it with my kids. Is the Soft Challenger still a good putter? That’s what I used back in 07-09. Thanks just found your channel and I’m thinking I’m going to be watching it a lot.
When I first started 10 years ago I like the aviar , fast forward after a 10 year break I find myself liking beaded putters like the latitude 64 dagger, beaded putters ftw!🙌🙌🙌
Great content RC... I think that I'm the oddball in this group but I LOVE my KASTAPLAST BERG. K1 plastic and 174grams. It's consistent and minimally affected by wind.
*Latitude 64 Pure* (Retro White 175g) The white color is a little more stiff, which I like; the burst I find is a touch softer. A great form teacher, with a shallow flat feel, and clean release. Just point a shoot, often off the tee! Zero Hard Pures are hard to find; you bet I’ll be loading up when they restock! For everything it can’t do (which isn’t much) the *Westside Harp* can! (Bt Hard White 175g)
I use the Discraft Roach. I have 13 in all types of plastic, Putter line Hard/Soft, Jawbreaker, Rubber Blend/Bro-D Blend, CryZtal Glo/FLX, all weigh above 173, I use the base line plastic as putting putters and the premium plastics as straight flying throwing putters. Love the video!
I've been playing for coming up to a year, but played ultimate and freestyle and just throwing discs for a long time to a very high standard. So taking up disc golf has been fun and quite easy mostly, except putting! I bought a jk aviar-x which I love for driving and throwing but never got the hang of it for putting. Star aviar 3 feels better and I'm getting a nicer release on that. Then got a z zone which I'm good at long throw in putts, to the extent I've started just throwing it for my putts rather than trying to do a putting motion. From there I started throwing my esp comet for my putts. It feels like an ultimate disc in that I can pop it out almost like a short airbounce pass. So suddenly my years of throwing discs can be used in my putting game. So it's a mess really. At different distances I like different discs, and for putts within 4m I almost prefer throwing my destroyer as I'm usually close to parked with that. It sounds stupid to say it and I'm not up my own ass, but because I'm so used to having good disc skills I find it almost impossible to putt with this whole new kind of non-throw. Does anyone have any advice? I'm hooked on the sport and want to compete, and I'm not sure if I should just embrace my mad range of putting styles and discs or just force myself to follow a more traditional route. I just don't know if it makes sense for me to do that or not
I looked up this topic. Glad I watched this. I own 1 dx aviar. But I was looking up putter packs. In quantities of 5. Probably gonna go with the judge or the warden. Any recommendations I'm all ears. 👍😁
I LOVED Pro D Banger GTs in my first year, but when I went to buy more for practice I could only find Putter Line and I don't like the feel of Putter Line. I putted with Fierces for a while and liked how straight they were but had a lot of spit outs because I was putting too hard and on too much hyzer. Swapped to Soft Pures and loved that those would basically drop straight down if they hit anything, then Rekos because I was picking up a bunch of Kastaplast stuff, and with Pures I started putting flatter and letting the putter actually fly. Now I'm back on Fierces because I can just kinda toss them and they float straight at chain height for like 50 feet with minimal effort. I am picking up a handful of the new P2s tomorrow though just to have something a little heavier and more stable because I'd like to be able to commit a little more at lower distances without worrying about bouncing out, and the Fierces are light enough that at really low power it's easy to pull them off line.
Emac judge classic blend 174g have 4 Emac judge hybrid blend 174g have 2 I’m bouncing back and forth between the two plastics I currently bag one of each ... hybrid seems to work better for me outside of c2 and In windy conditions
Gateway Wizards 👍 - pure white plastic - 175g - i have 12. Best putter i’ve found in terms of all weather feel, and i love how they beat in. Putting putters beat into (straight) throwing putters.
Right now I use a west side discs bt soft maiden I got not long ago and I only started about 4 months ago!! I have to throw putters on drives a lot because of my power in my arm so for that I use a crown!
Just picked up a jawbreaker Fierce that I've been enjoying a lot. I like how it's grippy but not too soft, I don't like those floppy type putters. It takes so little to get it to fly, I like using it from just outside circle 2, almost thrown it in a few times
I started with theowing the Disrcaft Fierce, but wanted a more overstable Putting putter, so i went to my favorite DG shop and askes one of the workers there og he could help me. He was very patient and good, so i endes up with the D Line P2. After changing the putters, i also wanted to change my Putting style to pure spin Putting. Now i cant imagene Putting with anything other than P2, and maybe some Pilots for longer C2 Putting.
So im not grat at getting the putter to the basket from distance. Is there a certain weight that i ahould be using to make that easier? I currently use 173-174g putters.
I have two Gateway Voodoos... it was recommended to me by my local disc golf store... still learning considering getting two Yeti Aviars to try them out
I feel like I have tried nearly every putter out there and have missed with every one. I have changed my putters almost as much as I have changed my putting style. I have finally settled on a putter and style and have been trying to just practice, practice, practice. But it gets so frustrating when I have horrible putting days like I did today. What do you do when you have a slump?
Play a round where anything in 10m is a gimmie; No ring putts at all, But only play with a putter (I like to use the one that failed me, but I like a good well beaten putter).
My first putter was Aviar PA 174 DX, then D)-line P2 172, tried a beaded Yeti Aviar R-Pro 176, Jawbreaker Roach 173, Classic Burst Deputy 172, Premium Jokeri 178, Active Line Sensei; Exo Soft Link; so I use all for practice, inside circle putts Yeti, Roach, upshots and drives P2 , JOKERi and Sensei. Have yet to give the Link any real time. Deputy and Aviar PA are my flippy putters. I like to fFH flick and scoober the Roach, JOKERi is like a Zone .
KASTAPLAST is becoming popular throughout my club. They feel great, look even better, and find their target. I don't use them but I used to keep a K2 in the bag for turbo putting
I have switched all my discs recently to MVP/Axiom. I love them, except for a putter. I am using the Envy stiff plastic and man it just wants to fall out of the basket. Almost like it bounces off the chains. Started to look at Gateway for only a putter option due to them having soft plastics that might grip the chains rather than bounce off of them. My only issue is what is the closest Gateway putter to the feel of the Envy? I am thinking maybe the chief? anyone have any opinions? Thanks for any help.
I putt with Rattlers. 2 pink 175 really hard plastic Rattlers. I have 2 esp Rattlers I am beating in to replace them. I always have the next pair in the works!
Added recently after thinking the putter strategy through pretty much the way you described it: Prodigy P model S X 5 (all base grip), plus P model US X 2 (one base, one glow), all 174g except for the glow US 161g.
still a beginner and I've tried to accumulate 1 ofs in a lot of different flight numbers per midrange and putters just to get acclimated to different shot types and shapes. Currently, as far as putters go, I have 1 of each of a Paige Pierce Fierce, a DX Aviar (innova beginner set), Magnet (DC beginner set), Pure, and Zone.. little bit of everything inbetween stable and understable. I really like the way the Aviar feels for putting, and for approach/throwing, I've loved the Fierce and Pure but have had some shapes where the fade of the Zone has come in handy. Any thoughts on where I should go from here, maybe which 1-2 I should strictly use to see if it's "the one for me" or not
Whenever i start putting bad with my fierce magnets or ringer gt i just put with my mako3. I want a putter that is the same as the mako3 because it feels the most comfortable and consistent
I pick my putter by practicing with all of them in my yard, and noting which ones end up in the basket more often than others. I score the best with a Prodigy P5 and a Prodigy P-OS in 400/Glow plastic. These feel the best in my hand and give me the most confidence my putter is going where I want it to
I have a question I have been playing for a year I went from Aviar to roach and now to base plastic zones due to constant 20-30mph of wind in my area. I like putting with the zones but should I use putters that are less stable? Or buy some of the soft or putter line zones that just came out? Thanks great video.
Hi ! Im New to Discgolf since 2 Months and startet with 5x Aviar Classic Putter 175g I think i buy 5 other with less weight because i still have problems at 30ft. The discs always fade Hard even at the beginning so its a luck throw the disc fades into the Basket 😄
6 latitude 64 zero soft pure for 45 ft and closer putts. 2 latitude 64 retro line pure for any putts further than 45 ft, and 1 latitude 64 opto line pure for throwing
There are those who prefer success, happiness, joy, and puppies. Then there are those who use beadless putters. #teamwizard #allaboutthatbead
I am offended by this
Wish I could find a Puppy 😑
@@GarrettLibby14 search your feelings, you’ll find it to be true! I too must face the truth

I putt with an MVP atom. In my opinion one of the most underrated putters! Shallow, beadless, and board flat. Love it!
I've got mine in electron soft plastic. I love the feel. I want to order another one but dont want to wait 6 months to beat it in again
Does it slice through wind well? I've been thinking about changing to an Atom.
@@AvataAdventures in windier conditions I'll switch over to a different plastic something a little bit harder usually helps me
Exactly what I was looking for!
Not trying to change your putter, but if you added a nomad to the mix you would be happy
I have been narrowing in on a putter and 4 each of AviarX3, Aviar, and just ordered some XT Novas. I definitely agree that you need to have a few for long term putting practices; walking back and forth for 1 or even 2 is taking up a lot of time. 4 feels like a sweet spot for me.

Just stumbled upon your channel. Robbie, you do a great job of dishing out very practical advice to us "intermediate-Wannabees". Enjoying what you are presenting. Keep up the great work!
Putting Putter: Zero Medium Pure 174g
Approach Putter: VIP Harp 174g and an Opto-X Pure 174g
I have Pures and Harps in every plastic available.
Literately just got that exact same putter! Not sure if I like it better than the Judge though as I've gotten more used to it
I use 4S and 3S Wizards for putting and throw SB and RFF Wizards, but also carry 2 3S Magic’s. I have 10 of each 3S & 4S Wizards for practice and to keep in rotation. I mainly use the 3S for hotter days and my 4S for cooler days, but it depends on how they feel while I’m practicing before a round. I do have a dozen more Wizards in various plastics though because I was trying to figure out which plastic I liked the best for both putting and throwing. I still use those for practice along with a dozen more putters from different companies, but those are mainly for my friends to try when I get them to start playing.
A big factor for me is that I want a putter that is widely available and not coveted by collectors and scalpers. Signature discs, special runs of a plastic, etc. are all out. I had some original Imperial Eagle P2s that I loved but I ended up trading them so that I could start using something more replaceable. You don't want to be in a situation where if you lose or damage a putter somehow that you can't replace it or have to pay $$$ for one. I make exceptions to this for mids and drivers, but for putting putters, where I am going to want multiple for practice and possibly replacements, they've got to be commonly available.
@@JimJohnMarks Oh no, sorry. I know a guy from league with an all vibram bag and every one of his discs is beat to heck and ultra flippy but he refuses to get anything else.
try mvp ion in electron soft. learn to hyzer-flip it.
Well said.
@awhislyle - seems like excellent advice on the putters
Robbie is my favorite disc golf RUclipsr! Love you Robbie!
I put with the R-Pro Rhyno in 175 weight and I have two. I have few DX Rhynos that I use for throwing putters but I’m probably going to get a premium plastic soon for that.
Is that also called a 'soft Rhyno'?
I used to putt with zero soft pures (for about a year and a half) and I have 6 of those. A couple weeks ago I realized that as I've gotten more comfortable with putting I don't like the way they sit in my hand - they don't feel like they fill my hand and are gripped securely - so I went on a putter hunt.

It passed the test! I felt confident with it in my hands and didn't have any issues crop up, so now I own 3. I hadn't heard the "Only use this putter for 2 months" advice before but it makes sense. The stack of pures will have to sit on the bench while I learn consistency with the new guys in town.

Greetigs from Cologne, Germany!
Love your content RC. Keep it up, you’re really helping us newbs how to play the fantastic game of disc golf. You explain things better than the best pros. I can’t believe all your videos do not have over 100K views. Thanks for what you do 👍🏻
Got interested in disc golf, bought 2x innova starter pack (avair, shark, leopard in dx). Realised this was my new thing, bought an MVP blackhole basket. Wanted a bunch of putters to practice with.... only thing available in a 5 pack was DD Judge. Yeah, I'm a Judge guy now. I'll throw the avair for longer attempts because they're ~145g, but the 175g Judge is just so consistent.... sure that it probably because I throw 100 practice putts a day, but that's what it takes.
Great advice. I'm on Team Warden as well. 174 in Classic for me. I got 6 sweet orange ones with those flashy reflective stamps wiped off. Stiff, flat, and they fly great.
I putt and approach with K1 Bergs. They kick ass. Great for forehands and backhands and they are practically invincible. (Because they are so durable, I do generally use the same ones for putting and throwing, but maybe I will try getting a new one just for approaches for a bit…)
My first putter I bought 2 months ago from my starter kit on amazon. It's a 150 Aviar. Today I just bought my second putter a classic blend judge 173 g. Looking forward to trying out heavier putter
Complete beginner - using the EMAC Judge at 173g to putt but also using it for approaches. Can't tell what kind of plastic - don't see it on the stamp unless "prime burst" is a plastic. Comfortable in the hand - easy to grip. I ordered a 2nd Judge for most of the same reasons presented in this video: practice with the same disc, have a separate disk for approach, get fundamentals down with the same disc before experimenting. 2 months is different across players: instead of time duration, how many putts would you say is appropriate?
My go to putter is an axiom proton plastic envy. Have had 2 of them lost both can’t find any more so I have had a judge in my bag for awhile it’s back up but still like it and now I will throw that and I just bought a dagger in the retro blue plastic love it need to get more tho
Would you recommend the axiom envy for beginner?
I putt with the jk-pro aviar 175g and I have three of them! My throwing putter is a Champion Aviar 3 and my approach is a XT Dart
Love my pure’s in zero hard. I have 7 and they are all max weight except for a 173g I use for jump putts 😊. Love the content Robbie. It really motivates me to get better.
Big fan of the Gateway Wizard in ss plastic. I have 6 of them.
1st thing i did when i got back into disc golf was buy 10 classic aviar...have since tried several molds to try and always bought in pairs since then. Never know when one of them may end up in the water during a round
I go 10 soft electron pilots for putting. And 2 plasma pilots for throwers.
Since there aren't any shops to go to in my area, and I'm not yet a year into playing, I currently have 2 envys, 2proxys, 2 links, 2 aviars, a swan, a Pierce and a P model lol. I think I've finally landed on the Envy as I like a shallow putter without a bead. (The Envy was the first putter I bought too. I know, I'm crazy.)
I feel u bro I love the envy in the proton plastic it’s soft and is in the premium plastic but Iove it tho. Also an envy was my first putter too
You had me at envy/proxy
I putt (and throw) 175 g XT Novas. Basically the only person I know that putts with Novas but I like that they stand out. Also am working on adding turbo putting to my game which works great with the Nova because of how grippy the overmold rim is.
The BEST putter I know has 30 of them and uses them exclusively. He took 4th at next gen nationals. No arguments from me
Max weight 2020 Tour Series Paul McBeth Luna. Starting putting with Westside Tournament Shields and when I switched to Discraft, the TS Luna just felt right. Love putting with premium plastic.
Thanks Robbie looking forward to seeing what putters I have thanks for the tips
ive only been playing for about 7 weeks now and I love my keystone in I think base plastic. it is nice and grey. and I am comfortable from about 6M and in. or about 20 feet. I have mostly just been practicing putting. and distance. but distance is hard. putting is cool.
I’ve been playing for only a little longer than you and my distance is coming along but honestly the biggest factor in my scores is whether I’m having a good putting day. It’s so crucial
For putting (not driving or utility shots), 10 putters can be spendy. 5 works well. Even 3 (doing Uli's 3 disc drill) works.
The huge thing is to actually practice. Many don't realize 200 shots only takes about 15 mins and it does wonders, even after a few days to a week. In fact, the results may addict you to practicing as it also benefits the long game (anecdotally, I tested this during quarantine throwing at least 200 a day for about 45 days--results: better release on longer shots (greatly reduced grip lock), more distance, and cleaner lines. I found the last motion in your putt, your wrist and grip, uses the same muscle/motion as the full throw (backhand)).
Being a Push/Spush putter, I use a Warlock 175g for C1x and a little C2
I use a DX Roc for some C2.
and a Prodigy PA4 for deeper C2 and a little beyond.
Eventually people are going to have multiple putters in the bag...kind of like how ball golfers have multiple wedges. Putters rock.
Going to try the Aviar, I have been using the Innova Shark, but going to try the two month test and practice/play with just my 4x Aviar discs.
Another great vid. I bag 5 putters in 4 molds. A Yeti for putting, a Yeti, R-Pro Rhyno, Ricky Pig, and the Wedge for approaches and drives...the wind and needed shape dictates which I use. I use the Rhyno for strong headwind putts. Learning your putters will shave strokes more quickly than throwing 50ft farther. Thanks again for the content Robbie C.
Your videos are so excellent and in depth. Best sub I’ve had in a looong time in regards to educating
Great vid super helpful. I didn’t know how important a beaded line was for comfort until now, and I would always putt with 1 putter and 3 mids. This has changed my game so much thanks R/C!!
My putting putter is a DD marshal in prime plastic. I also bag a couple DD wardens, Innova aviar and kc pro aviar, discmania sensei, and westside harp.
premium plastic putter here, by that I mean Westside Discs Shield in tournament plastic. Grippy and durable, not too soft, but not stiff either... love this disc!
One of the best putting videos, I wish I saw this months earlier!! So helpful.
Currently using Jawbreaker Banger GT for my putting putter, haven't found my throwing putter yet.
Envy/proxy are a great combo. Proxy is super straight, Envy a touch more stable.
I'm on the hunt for a new putter. I use to use an aviar. Got a warden from a veterans for vets tournament and have been using it every since. I just picked up a p model s base grip and really like the feel of it, so I need to test it now.
I’ve liked that v4v Warden from the first time I threw it the weekend after the tournament. The plastic feels amazing. Do you know what kind it is?
@@greensheeps I believe it was prime plastic
I have been practing with my new Innova beginer disc set which has the Aviar Putt and approach disc. I often find myself consistently hitting putts inside of 10-15 ft. Outside of that distance, not so much..lol Great vid!
I got two pairs of Handeye stamped Wardens and Guards to practice my form (prime plastic, 173g) and a Deputy (prime, 173g) but picked up a Warlock in hemp SS (173g) which just feels amazing to me. Got two more Warlocks in nylon alloy (out of curiosity) and in diamond plastic (for throwing).
Just picked up a Wizard in eraser to try out. I'm bagging my Gateways and the Deputy, and I mainly practice with the Warlocks now but sometimes run through the whole stack as they are fairly similar in flight (the Wardens, Guards, and Warlocks at least). Loveeee my hemp Warlock!
I defo need to do this.. currently im using a berg, aviar and pure and i dont feel comfortable with any of them
I'm a bit late to this comment section but anyway. At first I chose the Innova Rhino as my putter. I have one MyDye version, and three of the exact mold and plastic but just basic color for practice. After I got better at putting longer distance I found that the Rhino has no glide, and at that same time I won a Dynamic Disc Judge classic plastic double stamp and found the glide I was looking for and liked the feel. I have 6 of those now in different plastics. My throwing putters are a Discmania Link in GEO and an Aviar3 in Star Plastic. All my putters are around 170 to 175g. Thanks for the video!!!
I'm very new to Disc Golf and very late to this video. But after much consideration. I am going with the Prime Judge for my 2 month journey. Some close runner ups were the Dagger and the Luna. AND I still reserve the rights to my HALO STAR AVIAR that I found for later.... But per your recommendation. I will stick with 1 disc(x2) and get comfortable and consistent.
My putting putters are RPM Tui, which I have 5 base plastic (175g) and 3 in more premium(170-175g) I definitely prefer the base plastic for putting but the premium plastic has its uses for more specific inside the circle putts. My throwing putters are either the premium Tui's or Innova Pig (also my approach).
Settled on the Westside Swan 2 in Bt medium 173g. Great flight good feel and I like the deep dish. I have a match run of 5 so far. For throwing I use a 174g hard Harp. Consistent overstable backhand and forehand. I've been playing about 11 months now. Love the content Robbie, keep it up fam!
Love The Swan 2 and Harp. Trying out a Shild for throwing now, but struggle with the grip.
@@NiklasJnsson yeah I just couldn't get the shield to be comfortable with any grip.
really loving lighter putters (169-171) that are a bit more firm. i’ve been rlly using the fierce for understable and the luna for a bit more stability
Px3, 300 plastic. I have 6 of them. Been using them for 3 months. Some days I can’t miss a putt other days good luck finding the basket. I’m also a spin putter. Not sure if a change in putter would help or maybe it’s my putting form
My current putter is the Alfa Discs Theios in copper plastic, of which i have two. My throwing putter is the Alfa Discs Snoopy in crystal plastic. Same mold, old name. No bead, but just deep enough for my not too large hands.
I putt with a D-Blend Scarab from Infinate Discs. They are 175 g and very firm. I got a 10 pack because it was the cheapest pack I could find
You failed to mention micro bead. *gasp* lol Somewhere between Warden and Judge I just found my favorite. The EMAC Judge.
10 of them arrived today.
Streamline Pilot is great as well. I don't have many reps with it yet but I could see it become another favorite for a bit longer putts.
Hi Robbie. Question: how do I get my putter to fly flat and straight? Mine usually has wobble to it and frequently hyzers out. Thanks!
Haven’t played in years but getting back into it with my kids. Is the Soft Challenger still a good putter? That’s what I used back in 07-09. Thanks just found your channel and I’m thinking I’m going to be watching it a lot.
I know people that still play them
When I first started 10 years ago I like the aviar , fast forward after a 10 year break I find myself liking beaded putters like the latitude 64 dagger, beaded putters ftw!🙌🙌🙌
Currently using a174g v1 bluebonnet from lonestar. Previously used 172-174 jawbreaker banger gt by discraft.
Great content RC...
I think that I'm the oddball in this group but I LOVE my KASTAPLAST BERG. K1 plastic and 174grams. It's consistent and minimally affected by wind.
*Latitude 64 Pure* (Retro White 175g) The white color is a little more stiff, which I like; the burst I find is a touch softer. A great form teacher, with a shallow flat feel, and clean release. Just point a shoot, often off the tee! Zero Hard Pures are hard to find; you bet I’ll be loading up when they restock!
For everything it can’t do (which isn’t much) the *Westside Harp* can! (Bt Hard White 175g)
I changed over to a banger ft soft and my hands looove it. Makes my fingers happy
I use the Discraft Roach. I have 13 in all types of plastic, Putter line Hard/Soft, Jawbreaker, Rubber Blend/Bro-D Blend, CryZtal Glo/FLX, all weigh above 173, I use the base line plastic as putting putters and the premium plastics as straight flying throwing putters. Love the video!
My Ezra CryZtal GLO Roach is my favorite disc I own I throw it all the time
I've been playing for coming up to a year, but played ultimate and freestyle and just throwing discs for a long time to a very high standard. So taking up disc golf has been fun and quite easy mostly, except putting! I bought a jk aviar-x which I love for driving and throwing but never got the hang of it for putting. Star aviar 3 feels better and I'm getting a nicer release on that. Then got a z zone which I'm good at long throw in putts, to the extent I've started just throwing it for my putts rather than trying to do a putting motion. From there I started throwing my esp comet for my putts. It feels like an ultimate disc in that I can pop it out almost like a short airbounce pass. So suddenly my years of throwing discs can be used in my putting game. So it's a mess really. At different distances I like different discs, and for putts within 4m I almost prefer throwing my destroyer as I'm usually close to parked with that. It sounds stupid to say it and I'm not up my own ass, but because I'm so used to having good disc skills I find it almost impossible to putt with this whole new kind of non-throw. Does anyone have any advice? I'm hooked on the sport and want to compete, and I'm not sure if I should just embrace my mad range of putting styles and discs or just force myself to follow a more traditional route. I just don't know if it makes sense for me to do that or not
I looked up this topic. Glad I watched this. I own 1 dx aviar. But I was looking up putter packs. In quantities of 5. Probably gonna go with the judge or the warden. Any recommendations I'm all ears. 👍😁
The big question between those is simply bead or no bead! That’s basically the only difference in those two molds!
I have few.
Discmania Tiger warrior (now Sensei) in active soft plastic and Innova Aviar in R-pro plastic.
They go so straight.
More please, really enjoy your videos😀
I’m glad premium plastics are fine. That reassures my putter of choice the discraft Z nuke OS
Hemp Wizard sss 174g! I need more, I only have 4. 2 blank (throwing) 2 stamped (putting)
Discmania Link Exo Soft (and 1 super soft) for putting, Exo hard for throwing and Exo Soft Tactic for side arm flicks.
I LOVED Pro D Banger GTs in my first year, but when I went to buy more for practice I could only find Putter Line and I don't like the feel of Putter Line. I putted with Fierces for a while and liked how straight they were but had a lot of spit outs because I was putting too hard and on too much hyzer. Swapped to Soft Pures and loved that those would basically drop straight down if they hit anything, then Rekos because I was picking up a bunch of Kastaplast stuff, and with Pures I started putting flatter and letting the putter actually fly. Now I'm back on Fierces because I can just kinda toss them and they float straight at chain height for like 50 feet with minimal effort. I am picking up a handful of the new P2s tomorrow though just to have something a little heavier and more stable because I'd like to be able to commit a little more at lower distances without worrying about bouncing out, and the Fierces are light enough that at really low power it's easy to pull them off line.
Where did you get that amazing jacket?
Emac judge classic blend 174g have 4
Emac judge hybrid blend 174g have 2
I’m bouncing back and forth between the two plastics I currently bag one of each ... hybrid seems to work better for me outside of c2 and In windy conditions
180 Innova KC Pro Whale for putting putters. I currently have 3. Working on getting to 10, but they're not cheap.
Gateway Wizards 👍 - pure white plastic - 175g - i have 12. Best putter i’ve found in terms of all weather feel, and i love how they beat in. Putting putters beat into (straight) throwing putters.
I’m all in on team Warden classic blend. Have 15 I use in the garage for putting practice. However, discraft zone is my go to for windy days.
Let’s go with that Classic Blend Life!!!
Right now I use a west side discs bt soft maiden I got not long ago and I only started about 4 months ago!! I have to throw putters on drives a lot because of my power in my arm so for that I use a crown!
Just picked up a jawbreaker Fierce that I've been enjoying a lot. I like how it's grippy but not too soft, I don't like those floppy type putters. It takes so little to get it to fly, I like using it from just outside circle 2, almost thrown it in a few times
I started with theowing the Disrcaft Fierce, but wanted a more overstable Putting putter, so i went to my favorite DG shop and askes one of the workers there og he could help me. He was very patient and good, so i endes up with the D Line P2.
After changing the putters, i also wanted to change my Putting style to pure spin Putting.
Now i cant imagene Putting with anything other than P2, and maybe some Pilots for longer C2 Putting.
I love classic blend warden. I have 7 of em rn!!
So im not grat at getting the putter to the basket from distance. Is there a certain weight that i ahould be using to make that easier? I currently use 173-174g putters.
I’m about a month into firm Proxy putting and I gotta say I think I’m gonna stick around for a bit. 174 and I bought up all I could find in town
I have two Gateway Voodoos... it was recommended to me by my local disc golf store... still learning considering getting two Yeti Aviars to try them out
Who do the voodoo that you do?? I like voodoos over wizards
I used to putt with a luna but now i use a hard link for putts and 2 r-pro pigs for approach
I feel like I have tried nearly every putter out there and have missed with every one. I have changed my putters almost as much as I have changed my putting style. I have finally settled on a putter and style and have been trying to just practice, practice, practice. But it gets so frustrating when I have horrible putting days like I did today. What do you do when you have a slump?
Play a round where anything in 10m is a gimmie; No ring putts at all, But only play with a putter (I like to use the one that failed me, but I like a good well beaten putter).
What about weight Robbie? Is 166g good enough? Or is a 174g better for putting? (Putting putter)
My first putter was Aviar PA 174 DX, then D)-line P2 172, tried a beaded Yeti Aviar R-Pro 176, Jawbreaker Roach 173, Classic Burst Deputy 172, Premium Jokeri 178, Active Line Sensei; Exo Soft Link; so I use all for practice, inside circle putts Yeti, Roach, upshots and drives P2 , JOKERi and Sensei. Have yet to give the Link any real time. Deputy and Aviar PA are my flippy putters. I like to fFH flick and scoober the Roach, JOKERi is like a Zone .
Put with K3 Reko from Kastaplast. Got 3 in the bag, two for putting and one for throwing. And two K1 for throwing as well. Got 6 k3 and 5 K1 in total.
KASTAPLAST is becoming popular throughout my club. They feel great, look even better, and find their target. I don't use them but I used to keep a K2 in the bag for turbo putting
I have switched all my discs recently to MVP/Axiom. I love them, except for a putter. I am using the Envy stiff plastic and man it just wants to fall out of the basket. Almost like it bounces off the chains. Started to look at Gateway for only a putter option due to them having soft plastics that might grip the chains rather than bounce off of them. My only issue is what is the closest Gateway putter to the feel of the Envy? I am thinking maybe the chief? anyone have any opinions?
Thanks for any help.
I putt with Rattlers. 2 pink 175 really hard plastic Rattlers. I have 2 esp Rattlers I am beating in to replace them. I always have the next pair in the works!
Added recently after thinking the putter strategy through pretty much the way you described it: Prodigy P model S X 5 (all base grip), plus P model US X 2 (one base, one glow), all 174g except for the glow US 161g.
still a beginner and I've tried to accumulate 1 ofs in a lot of different flight numbers per midrange and putters just to get acclimated to different shot types and shapes. Currently, as far as putters go, I have 1 of each of a Paige Pierce Fierce, a DX Aviar (innova beginner set), Magnet (DC beginner set), Pure, and Zone.. little bit of everything inbetween stable and understable. I really like the way the Aviar feels for putting, and for approach/throwing, I've loved the Fierce and Pure but have had some shapes where the fade of the Zone has come in handy. Any thoughts on where I should go from here, maybe which 1-2 I should strictly use to see if it's "the one for me" or not
Whenever i start putting bad with my fierce magnets or ringer gt i just put with my mako3. I want a putter that is the same as the mako3 because it feels the most comfortable and consistent
I putt with 3 173-175 Discraft roach in the bro d plastic (pro d)
I pick my putter by practicing with all of them in my yard, and noting which ones end up in the basket more often than others.
I score the best with a Prodigy P5 and a Prodigy P-OS in 400/Glow plastic. These feel the best in my hand and give me the most confidence my putter is going where I want it to
5x Keystone medium max wheight, but recently bought 4x P2’s 173g
I have a question I have been playing for a year I went from Aviar to roach and now to base plastic zones due to constant 20-30mph of wind in my area. I like putting with the zones but should I use putters that are less stable? Or buy some of the soft or putter line zones that just came out? Thanks great video.
Lat64 Keystone highly underrated. Love it.
Kastaplast Berg just feels right for me. I like the k1 and the k3 hard.
Hi !
Im New to Discgolf since 2 Months and startet with 5x Aviar Classic Putter 175g
I think i buy 5 other with less weight because i still have problems at 30ft.
The discs always fade Hard even at the beginning so its a luck throw the disc fades into the Basket 😄
Putt flatter and faster. Missing 10ft past the basket is better than missing next to or short of it in 95% of cases.
6 latitude 64 zero soft pure for 45 ft and closer putts. 2 latitude 64 retro line pure for any putts further than 45 ft, and 1 latitude 64 opto line pure for throwing
LoneStarDiscs Penny putter is fast becoming my trusty long straight putter.
Gummy grippy and glows...Trifecta!
Haven't seen anyone else use this but my putting putter is a Innova Nova 174g, and my throwing / approach putter is a DD Judge 175g
