I've been struggling with spit outs basically for as long as I've played. By struggling I mean that I get probably 10 times more spit outs than the guys I play with and they have acknowledged it as well so it's not just all in my head.
I've been thinking about the reasons quite a lot and have few theories. I put with a "spush" put, with medium pace and disc flying rather flat. I've only putted with Trilogy putters (Pure, Macana, Shield) mostly in Medium or tacky Hard plastic. At the same time I've come to the conclusion that the put that gets the least amount of spit outs is a nose down push put with a slick plastic like KC Pro, so quite different from how I put.
Is there any general consensus on which plastics and putting styles are the least prone for spit outs?
PS. In this context the spit out is a really good put that goes into the middle of the chains, not a very high or slightly weak side put.
This is actually one thing I've been thinking quite a bit as I also suffer from the am-side spit outs, especially as I get tired and start having more and more hyzer on the release.One thing I've noticed in tournament videos watching the pros putt... they seem to try to hit the chains in the lower part, so that the disc bounces down into the basket. They make sure to get above the basket, but they don't seem to aim at the upper part (by that I mean they don't aim so it hits the upper part).
So you might look to create a trajectory where the disc will bounce down off the chains.
For me, my problem is am-side spit-outs when the disc starts fading (rhbh) as it gets to the basket. When I hit the center, it usually stays in.
What comes to the plastic preferences, Dave Dunipace mentioned briefly in his latest AMA that pros like KC Pro because it gets the least amount of spit outs. Wonder if this is true or just his sales pitch.
The biggest reason to aim higher is to increase the target area where I will hit chains. Another reason is that missing low is way more annoying than spitting out. Obviously I could lower the aim point with more practice and that is on the list of things to try out during the summer.

Id argue more how many putting champs using xyz firmness. Who cares about WCs really. We know who uses what with the plastic name dubbed KC/MCpro when it comes to most WCs
Yeah, this. So, wow, 2 multi-x world champs have their own custom plastic blend. Sounds like an option all of us can pursue.
There are other world champs than those two.
I was curious to see what the others have used.
I did mention plastics that are similar to KC Pro as evidence towards using stiff putters.
MVP putters definitely spit out more.....
