N Anode is my driving putter of choice right now. Great control with it.

Just realized I have nearly an hour of putter rounds uploaded at this point. Highlights include hitting the basket on hole 2 at Schneider and forehand deucing hole 13 long pin in the Neutron Ion test vid. Yeah, you can flick putters off the tee too

I learned to drive putters, then started throwing my distance drivers like that... huge improvement.

I use a four finger power grip on my putters. So yes, you can, is the answer.

This happened for me in a BIG way.

Before I learned putter driving my distance shots were a combination of OAT and either an OS driver or lots of hyzer to mask it. When you learn to drive with a stable putter using power, it makes it so much easier to actually control the disc and tell it exactly what to do instead of having to pick and choose different stabilities to hit different lines.

I have found that if I use a normal power grip like I would with a driver or midrange but slide my thumb on top to the very edge of the disc that my Challengers come out buttery smooth. I throw them like this and have hit about 320'+ in the field throwing this way with them. So if you're using a power grip, I recommend sliding your thumb on top to the very edge of the top of the disc.
