[Putters] Glideless Comet in putter form?

[riltim]

Is there such a disc? Looking for something I can throw flat and it finishes straight but I can land on a 30' island from 150-200'. Been testing my 175 polecat but I have a tough time ranging it.

Maybe I just need to work with it more. Suggestions?

"Glideless" and "Comet" are not usually in the same sentence. Unless it is "One thing you could never say about the Comet is that it is glideless."

If you can't control the Polecat and don't want to learn it, maybe a Nova? Watch McBeth throw it on hole 17 of the final round of the USDGC if you need any more proof.

How about the serpent? Very low glide, very straight flight, high hss, very little fade

Pure maybe? Not glide less, but less glide than the comet, and very easy to shape.

I know the comet isn't glideless, its one of the discs I throw the most. I am looking for something that's as straight as start to finish as the comet but super easy to range. Probably a tall order but I figured I'd ask.

Gateway Magic.

It's not fast, has a manageable amount of glide and throws straight at the distance range you are talking about.

That's exactly the shot I'm looking for. Dead straight till the end and then just drops.

I have a nova I bought for my daughter that I've never thrown. Maybe I'll put that head to head with the polecat and see what happens. It's not that I don't want to learn the polecat, it was just tough to range in the limited times I've thrown it.

I throw and putt with McPro Aviar's and the first thing to go from them as they get worn in is the fade. After a little use it is a very straight disc for me.

Nova is probably the best out of the box option.

I have 2 EZE pures and an opto. They seemed to dump out of thrown on finesse shots. I will revisit.

I'll pick one up next time I'm at the store and can feel it up. Last magic I held I hated but it was super stiff. I like a little softer feel for touch shots.

Thanks. Will feel them up next time I'm at the shop.

Discraft APX would fit the bill perfectly.

Was testing out the serpent in the yard tonight. Seems to fly like my slightly beat wizards.

Don't waste your money go back to post 5 that's the correct answer.

I don't click with the gyro on finesse shots. Threw ions and the anode for a while and had issues with overshooting quite a bit. Maybe it was my form, it was a long time ago.

 

[grotto]

Could try a DX Whale. I just bought one last week and love how it just floats and drops. Easier to gauge distance with than my Judge.

 

[tmaniac]

Magnet isn't far off IMO.

Yeah, maybe a DGA Reef (Reefs = APX) in SP to kill some of the glide. And if that doesn't work, tape some pennies to it or something. :\
