[Question] Upshots - Who throws their putting putters?

[Spike Hyzer]

Upshot discs? What do you use? Premium or basic plastics? Do you throw your putters?

I prefer soft plastics for upshots and premium plastics for driving off the tee, so I end up carrying seven putters. Two putting putters, three driving putters and two upshot discs. Seven seems like too many sometimes.

What about others? Do you simplify plastics and drive a lot of basic plastic? Do you throw upshots with your putting putters?

ions.

 

[Halcón]

I throw my putting Ion on most shots under 180 feet.

 

[World Eater]

If I'm going for chains I'll throw the swan. If I expect to lay up I'm usually throwing a frost claymore or harp.

the claymore has enough glide for low power shots without being as affected by wind as my putters for those 100-200 layups. Inside 100 I'm at least trying for chains anyway.

 

[DeLa-Loc654]

I'm a big fan of the soft neutron envy for upshots within about 150'. Too many trees where I am to drive base plastic putters, so I use premium plastics for driving putters

 

[rocthecourse]

What do you use? Putters, mids, or a driver, depends on the shot

Premium or basic plastics? Both

Do you throw your putters? Yep.

Do you throw upshots with your putting putters? Sometimes

I carry one putting putter a Soft Magnet, my main driving putter is a Soft Proton Ion, an understable putter - a Soft Magic for certain upshots, drives and some putts, and sometimes an overstable putter like a VP. I haven't felt the need to carry more than 4 putters unless I am testing out a new disc.

 

[Stable]

I don't use my 'putting' putters for anything except putting. I've got 2 - 174g Pro D Bangers for putting and 1 - Ti Banger for all other Banging needs and even for putting where I might hit a tree. This keeps my Pro D's lasting a while. I also will use my PA4 (400s), Zone (ESP) and even my Firebird (Champion) for upshots.

 

[Disc Frenzy]

I throw my putting putter > 90% of approaches.

 

[SlappyMcGruff]

I throw a putter any chanch I get 280-300 and in. I use D P1X and S and P P2s.

 

[Quinum]

I almost always approach with a putter, but not my putting putters. Most of my upshots are made with a Harp (bt hard or bt soft depending on the shot) or a Judge (classic hard or classic soft depending on the shot).

 

[Moose33]

I carry four putter type discs in my bag two liquid Touches and two Harps.

Usually the Harps will be my upshot disc, I never throw my putting Touch but I use one for approaches.

 

[Stardoggy]

two Wizards in the quiver of my Grip...one RFF for putting, and one extra flexy SSS for upshots...

Like Barry Schultz said, you don't putt with your approach disc, and you don't approach with your putter...

 

[BrotherDave]

Upshot discs? Yes.

What do you use? Polecat, sometimes Breaker.

Premium or basic plastics? Usually base, not a lot of premium plastic lids.

Do you throw your putters? That I putt with? Very seldom.

 

[slingdiscs]

I like to use premium for upshots and keep my putting putters with as few big nicks as possible.

 

[grotto]

Don't use my putting putters as an upshot disc

My upshot disc is either a Fluid Judge, G* Aviar driver or a Fuzion Suspect depending on wind and shot.

 

[TAFL]

What do you use?

I only carry one putter, so if I want to throw a putter, that's the one.

I do carry an Aero for approach shots, too; never use it for putting.

I may be just a bit old-fashioned.

 

[trumbulldore]

175g Classic warden for putting 175g Classic blend warden for up shots. I carry a harp for windy up shots as well in BT Medium

 

[sumo21]

Depending how far, obstacles and where the basket is, will determine my disc selection.

1) Would I throw a putting putter: yes.
2) What plastic would I use: either.

:thmbup: all of my putters are for driving and putting. That's the best part'

 

[BuzzzChief]

I throw my "putting putters" all the time inside 100' or so, as long as there's a very low chance of losing or damaging them. If there's water or a bunch of trees, I'll use a thrower instead.

I carry 2 very similar putting putters and three throwing putters (understable, straight, overstable). All are base gateway plastic except my fossil scale, which is more like KC Pro.
