[Putters] What is your NON-putter disc for putting?

[jdw80550]

The only times I don't use a normal putter for a putt/approach is when it has to come down steep and there is a big risk for a roll-away, in which case I throw a floppy soft vibram something. This would be a very rare thing except that it's good for the little course in town.

I've head of putting with upside-down drivers on windy days, but I've never tried it.

I have a buddy who's a serious upside down putter guy. It works for him, but I can't do a damn thing with it. It's cool to watch, lots of twists and turns.

Yep.

Ion for every makeable shot inside 150 feet. If I'm throwing a utility disc in that range, it's not to put it in the basket, just to park it.

Honestly, I think anything around 80-150' for most people, is just a park job. I don't think you realistically expect to make it. If you do it's great, but most the time you just want to save par.

I'll use a Comet,but it's more of a spin shot instead of a putt when it gets too far out. If I do hit chains it usually never sticks though lol

I use a beat poop dx glow shark. Barely takes any power to fly perfectly straight.

 

[Axx3d]

i have a Star Mako i use for such shots..

 

[mattc]

only if playing dubs, and my partner has laid up on the green already, i will sometimes rip a buzzz at it

My first 6 months of playing were 1 disc rounds with a DX Shark. I feel it with the Shark!

Same putter for everything

:thmbup: I also use the same putter for everything. If I have an akward putt I still use my putter. If I ever come to a situation that calls for a sidearm putt I will still use my putting putter. On most shots that are 325' or less I throw a putter unless its a big dogleg (then I usually throw a Firebird).

 

[Lurp Nuts]

When i park a hole with my driver I'll just tap in with it. Yup.

 

[kcplease]

I always find myself throwing fuses into the basket on second shots, but other than that I'm throwing putters almost exclusively inside 250'.

I second this there's nothing like a shark for approaches just outside putting range.

 

[Allurex]

I use a Pro Pig for super headwind putts (20+ mph) but that's about it. Even that's a putter but one I suspect very few people actually use to putt with.

 

[Beener]

classic blend suspect, sticks where it lands so I can run it with great reward and little risk

Same here! And after a nice sticky landing, I'll frequently pick the Suspect right back up and bang it into the chains; entirely skipping the Putter Putting disc... :thmbup:

 

[bogeyfreetilinfinity]

Big up to the shark also! With very little effort my light shark will cruise straight in the fifty to eighty foot range. I also use drivers for some forehand anny putts, especially ones that need to go left then come back and shaping approaches in the woods.

 

[arodsteezy]

The Shark is definitely an "all purpose disc". Feels great as a putter and flies pretty well. It's a little too stable at low speeds though. Personally I never use it for putting. If I'm trying to put it in the basket I use a putter.

 

[blammo]

I have a Star Mako I use for such shots..

Ditto. I am terrible at ranging a putter, I can't make mine glide very well. But I do all right with the super straight Mako and it's awesome glide. I do pretty well forehanding a champion shark from about 30-50 ft out too.

 

[iacas]

I use a putter fairly often from 200' and in, so… a putter.

 

[natedg1976]

I was one of those guys that just couldnt figure out mids. Then i started using a putter for every approach shot 200ft or less. I know my mids better now, but if i am running at the chains putting putter every time(sss wizard).

 

[PeterMonk]

As folks like their Sharks, I will putt with my MVP Proton Axis after I use it for a short drive or long approach. Like the feel of the disc and it powers down well.

 

[dhyde7723]

In close but big headwind or big turn, I'll often throw a XXX

 

[Nasty Nate]

I've head of putting with upside-down drivers on windy days, but I've never tried it.

That just sounds wrong. Does not compute

 

[tylerc]

one guy I play with, will on occasion, in a headwind putt with a firebird
