[Putters] What's a good "STIFF" and "THICK" Putter for the Push Putt

[Discusted]

Was watching this Clinic by Ken Climo and Feldberg, and at this part they mention they don't like Soft feeling Putters, they want a harder, stiff and thick around the Dome type putter. This is so it feels more like a 1 lb. weight you are throwing into the basket as opposed to a Disc you are spinning into the basket.

Here's the part of the video I'm talking about:

Edit: Title should say "Thick"

Go to store and feel putters.

Nothing is more individual than what one's favorite putter is. What works for you might not be best for others, and vice versa. Having said that, take a look at what the best push-putting pros (hint: Sarah Hokom) use, and go from there. Also look at the Dagger, the Judge, the Warden...

Hokom is not a good putter.

Wish I could. My city has one store that sells Disc Golf, there putter selection is 3 putters. 2 of which I own already.

You're looking at stiffer plastics (kc pro, p-line, one of a bazillion blends from gateway, etc).
KC Aviar, P2, Wizard, etc.

What have you thrown that you didn't like, and why?
Do you want beaded or beadless?

Hokom is not a good putter.

When she's 'AWN', she can be en fuego with the putter. She's only a past World and USWDGC Champion, as well.

But to your point: I'm not recommending emulating her putting style, just suggesting to look at the putter she uses, being that she is about as extreme a push putter as there is on Tour...

Damn that sucks. I'm not a push putter so my advice is only based on what I've seen others use.

daggers seem popular among push putters and they are very large in the hand for sure.

Wizards are great all around, can't go wrong there.

Kcpro avair and or mcpro avair are also popular. P1x would be different but similar.

Challengers come to mind as well.

It's hard to give advice for actual putting though it's totally different than throwing and if you could get to a large store and hold or toss some that would really be the best for you. Even then it's very likely you will go through a few before one clicks.

Hokom is not a good putter.

I almost can't watch any FPO coverage she is on because her putting gives me so much anxiety.

I don't think James Conrad agrees..

What do you use now? I'd start with that in the company's firmest putter plastic.

 

[Moose33]

What they like are the ones that are very stiff and won't bend much if you try. It's so that the disc gives less when your pushing forward, be makes the flight more consistent.

I like softer putters more like a Gateway SS, Soft Electron or BT Medium that fall right in the middle.
I've also been know to use the outright floppy ones in the winter so it won't hurt my fingers.

 

[gerth_vader]

the OG is the kc pro aviar(the exact disc they are talking about) and the YG is the P-blend myth(a v-tech version with less fade and more torque/gyro response)

 

[wolfmandragon]

I love stiff and thin putters to push putt with.
The RPM Tui works wonders for me. Feels good in the hand but still has a nice dome.

Pretty nice to play catch with as well as there are no sharp edges on it.

YMMV; putters are so individual. Infinite and Marshell ST have them in firm.

Nothing Sarah Hokom does looks like it should work. Yet she finds a way to win. It's almost freaky.

If the tour were on wooded courses she'd be in Paige's place right now.

I only got 2 Putters that came in 2 starter sets. A 148g DX Aviar and a 175 Pro-D Magnet. I prefer the Magnet of the 2 just based on weight. But I feel I want a putter that has less fade for when I use the putter for upshots. Also, the Magnet seems a bit soft... would like to try a Harder Plastic Putter that Feldberg's talking about.

Hmm good advice. Although I feel like the 175g Magnet I have fades too much for using it for upshots. So I'm looking for an upshot putter too. Maybe one with super stiff plastic, so I can kill 2 birds with one Disc.

 

[tbird888]

I would recommend the DX Classic Aviar or a McPro Aviar.

*RPM Tui
*Gateway Voodoo
*Innova Polecat

All of those come in firm plastic, all are great at doing double duty and all have little/late fade.

Lat64 Pure also, but not in premium pastic...those are squishy

I have bagged all of the above, All are good.

Current putter lineup
Tui (1)
Envy (3)
Polecat (1)
Banger GT (1)

...yeah, I am a putter w*****
