Reptilian Disc Golf
Hi All!!!
I'm late to announce here... Been too busy LOVING this mold to even brag about it!
The Tortuga is our new PnA that fits a major gap in RDG's lineup. The name checks a lot of boxes for me, primarily paying homage to my son's favorite TV show when he was little, Wild Kratts. I also love the name for a slow flying putter and its just fun to say Torts, Tugas and anything in between.
This mold is resurrected from the dead as the old Arsenal Discs C4. Gateway now owns the molds and protos have been kicked around for a year or so now.
I stumbled upon them a month or so back and after testing the mold... I had to have it.
In the hand the Tort feels unique. It is (based on specs) similarly shallow as an Envy/Atom but the wing length is much shorter. So while it has a comfy, low pro feel, it flies slower is better for low power shots.
I am in love with this disc in the circle as well. It putts like a classic PnA, Straight to mild fade, but with a beautiful hand feel. It is Beadless but has a thick rounded bottom so it gives the comfort of a bead without the finger grabbing a tendency of some putters.
Off the tee the Tort has a very unique flight. The plate on this disc is VERY thick which results in an #AntiGYRO effect. This means that upon initial release it will hold the angle then about 50% into the flight it exhibits a smidge of negative turn which extends the line allowing for a deadly straight flight. I liken it to a seasoned proxy that flies a bit slower.
Overall this disc is stealing a ton of shots from my other putters and even some mid shots here and there. My local group has been hitting metal off the tee, cashing long birdies and generally loving this disc. I hope you do too!
Proto plastic is a grippy SS with plans for Tar Pit and more in coming months!
