[Question] Best short approach disc?

[AndyJB]

Polecat or Envy, depending on the shot needed. Polecat is money when it lands flat and just sticks.

That's why I prefer the Atlas over a Buzz. The Atlas just parks

Hi

Ive been wondering about this question for a long time and now I finally opted for some opinions on this.

What I mean by the best approach disc is one for those approaches that you cant really reach with a jumpputt and a full power throw (with a putter) is way to much. The touch shots that needs to be parked close for an easy putt.

Heres is how I see it...
I use a glideless, pretty overstable, very slow putter, not to stiff that doesent skip. The wind doesent lift it 30-40 FT past the basket or push it down way to early. It doesent have to much foreward fade to get away from the basket and it doesent get lifted (RHBH) by a R->L wind leaving me with an ugly headwind putt and mess with my head during the approach.
I know... sometimes you need an anhyzer to get arround an obstacle and thats what my Wizard is for.

What are you using for these shots and equally important... why?

Slow, glideless, OS, doesn't skip - you just described a Rhyno.

Some of these responses make me wonder if you guys even read more than the title. Warden? Pure? Mako? Polecat?

Lol, looks like you did not read it.

I did. I helped break it down for you.

I don't remember what I initially said, but when I read that I think either Ion, or Warden.

 

[HiFi]

Guess I didn't realize the Mako, Warden, Polecat, and Pure were pretty overstable.

Oh, wait...

Oh, wait...

he didn't ask for overstable.

he asked what you use for touchy upshots. he personally uses overstable. i personally use a polecat because i think "touch" and "overstable" don't mix well.

Another though is a cryztal challenger. Those things are absolute bricks when you tell them to.

He asked "what are YOU using for these types of shots"

 

[Squirrilah Fish]

Actually I'm going to revise my response.

If it's with the wind, Warden. Has a reliable fade,

No wind - Ion, has virtually no glide, just drops and parks.

Against the wind - Jokeri. Fights the wind nicely, and parks, it is a little faster, but is easy to dial in.

^Where does the Atlas, Judge and Suspect fit in there?

Like I said, I'm changing my answer, Judge is a good pick, so is the Suspect, but the Jokeri is a good blend of both those.
Atlas, is a little longer, so for SHORT shots, the Ion, is a better disc for me.

Maybe if you read it one more time.

This is annoying, to summarize, he asked what's good for short approach shots where a putt isn't far enough, and a full throw is too far, that the wind isn't going to take, resulting in a nasty against the wind shot. "The way I see it.... OS....."

"What do you use?"

He wasn't asking what OS disc is the best approach, he asked what do you use?

 

[DikkaD]

Couldn't tell you, don't have enough experience with a Birdie.

Nor with the lock jaw since it just came out.

So what are we talking about here, outside putting range to maybe 150' or so? Is that a "touch" shot? Regardless, the answer is a putter, take your pick.

Zones for me, any plastic.

Exactly, although a Suspect could fit in there too. Depending on how fierce the wind is.

If your not aware the Suspect is a tweener midrange, just like the Jokeri is a tweener putter. They are almost the same disc, but the Suspect has slightly more fade.

Jokeri 4302, Suspect 4303. Even though ones a putter, ones a mid.
