Best Disc Golf Putters for 2024
Earlier this year we showed you the best-selling putters for last year. Now that we’re half way through 2024 we thought we would give you an update and show you which putters are the hot ones for the year so far. Before we get into this year’s numbers let’s look at the top putters for 2023:
Top 50 Disc Golf Putters Sold in 2023
The glidey Glitch was sitting on the top spot, with the perennial favorite, the Alpaca, sitting in second. The Zone, Envy, and Tomb rounded out the top five. One out of every four putters sold last year were one of these five discs.
1-MVP Glitch
2-Infinite Discs Alpaca
3-Discraft Zone
4-Axiom Envy
5-Infinite Discs Tomb
Now let’s see how the numbers look for 2024
While the second- through fifth-place molds didn’t change, there is a new best-seller for 2024. The Axiom Pixel was released late enough in the year last year that it didn’t have time to overtake the popular Glitch. This year the Pixel sold enough to take first and account for 10% of all putters sold! The Glitch dropped to number seven this year.
In addition to the Pixel, new to the top 10 for 2024 are the PA-3 and Aviar. Dropping out are the Berg, Proxy, and Judge.
1- Axiom Pixel – The second mold in the popular Simon Line of discs, the Pixel has taken the disc golf world by storm! It is not only the top-selling putter, it is the top-selling mold of all types. It’s fairly neutral flight and rim depth make it a valuable tool from the tee pad to circle one. Check out the Pixel today to learn about the hype!
8- Prodigy PA-3 – The PA-3 is ten year’s old and continues to be one of the most popular putters. It has a straight flight with a decent fade. The PA-3 is the most popular putter for Prodigy.
10- Innova Aviar – The Aviar has been around for longer than most of us have been playing disc golf. You can find it in starter sets and in the bags of some of the top pros. Innova claims it has won more World Championships than any other putter! We know it is always a popular disc.

Top Brands for Best Putters
Taking a look at the brands in the top 50 we see that MVP has the most molds in the top 50, including the number one spot. Last year Innova had the most top 50 discs, but this year they dropped to a 2-way tie for second place. They tied with long-time rival Discraft. Eighteen different brands made up the top 50, with seven of those having only one mold.
Highest Rated Disc Golf Putters
One of the awesome benefits to using the Infinite Discs site to shop is that you can read the reviews and see the ratings for discs you are interested in trying. Over time, the ratings become a great way to see what your fellow disc golfers think about certain molds. The ratings system ties is part of the Infinite Rewards. If you aren’t familiar with the Infinite Rewards program, where you can earn rewards by giving reviews or making purchases, check it out HERE and help our review data by giving feedback on your favorite discs.
We wanted to look at the discs in several different categories and see which molds are the top rated in those categories. We’ll start with the highest rated disc golf putters of all time.
All-Time Highest Rated Putters
The Discraft Zone edged out the Infinite Discs Tomb for the number one spot by a hundredth of a point! The Zone has an average rating of 4.89 out of five while the Tomb is rated 4.88. Both of these discs are throwing putters. The Alpaca is only a hundredth behind the Tomb to make a very close top three!
#1 Discraft Zone – The zone is popular and highly rated partly because of its overstability. It can handle any headwind and nearly every arm and still get good distance. Plus, its thick rim feels amazing to grip and gives you confidence in your drives and upshots.

Highest Rated Very Overstable Disc Golf Putters
You might not have heard of the Goliath Discs Pillar before but it is the highest rated very overstable disc. The Pillar has a perfect 5-star rating! It helps that there are only two reviews for the disc. That really skews the data, but I’m okay giving them a mention. Taking second (or first, depending on how you feel about the first one) is the Discraft Zone. In third place with a 4.68 star rating is the Prodigy A1.
#1 Goliath Discs Pillar – The Pillar is the overstable putter in the Goliath discs lineup. The Iowa company got their first mold approved two years ago and have been designing and releasing discs regularly since then. The Pillar is one of the beefiest discs in their lineup and it is available in the Oasis plastic, which is a premium plastic.
#3 Prodigy A1

Highest Rated Overstable Disc Golf Putters
When James Conrad threw his Envy into the basket on the last hole at the 2021 World Championships in Utah (I was there!), he certainly gave a nice boost in sales for the putter. The Axiom Envy holds the top spot in the ‘overstable putter’ category with 4.87 out of 5 stars. Taking second place is the popular Berg from Kastaplast. In the final podium spot is the long-time Gateway hit, the Wizard, which averages 4.72 stars.
Although any putter could be used as a thrower or a putter, most of the discs in the Very Overstable and Overstable Putters categories are used as throwing putters.
#1 Axiom Discs Envy – The overstable, throwing/putting putter has an overstable flight, but is still shapable and useful in a variety of situations on the course. The Envy’s profile is a little thinner than some putters, which is appealing to many. An older, more beat in Envy can be used in tight fairways and situations where control is crucial.

Highest Rated Stable Flying Disc Golf Putters
A couple of Infinite molds sit atop the list of highest rated stable putters. The Tomb at 4.88 stars and the Alpaca at 4.87 stars. The best-selling disc of 2023 takes third with 4.85 stars. The disc rating drop off slowly as people really like a lot of discs in this category. Discs with stable flights can be used by such a large number of people with differing skill levels and in a large variety of situations. That is why there are so many on this list that are top selling discs, too.
Although many of the discs in this category are mainly throwing putters, they can also be used as putting putters. Look at this category as a list of the top putting putters.
#1 Infinite Discs Tomb – The Tomb is a beaded putter with just enough stability to give the disc a wide range of uses. Comfortable and easy to throw for beginners, the Tomb can also be a valuable weapon for advanced players. It is available In many different plastic types and weights, so you are sure to find one that suits you.
#3 – MVP Glitch

Highest Rated Understable Disc Golf Putters
Although the understable putter category has some well-known names in the top 10, such as the Fierce and the Dynamic Discs Deputy, it is also full of lesser known brands and molds. Most disc golfers will have heard of Prodigy and their PA5, which is the highest rated understable putter. They may not be as familiar with the Mobius and RPM’s Tui, a New Zealand brand and disc. Check out the top 20 to see how many of brands you are familiar with.
#1 Prodigy PA5 – Described as a “silky smooth understable putt and approach disc that has the ability to hit and hold turnover lines and can perform straight hyzerflips”. The speed 3 putter has a little glide and a good amount of turn. Can be used on the putting green for straight putts, or as a driving putter when you need to flex around objects. The PA5 is available in many different Prodigy plastics.
#3 EV-7 Mobius

Man some great discs, but no Birdie Marvel? I switched to the soft version last year and it changed my putting tremendously! Great list, still think the Envy is the best throwing putter IMHO.
The Gateway Disc Sports Wizard, the OG beaded putter, is still the best putter on the market. Predictable flight and fade with a great variety of plastics.
I’ve thrown Wizards since 2002 and will continue throwing them in 2024.
Favorite throwing putter would be the Prodigy A4 if that counts as a putter. Nowhere near as beefy as the lower A series discs, and I gel well with the clunky rim. If that’s too fast to count my next one for throwing would be the Mint Bullet. Straight as an arrow.
Favorite putting putter is the Gateway Chief. I gelled with it a long time ago and any other disc doesn’t feel right for putting.
Favorite Putting Putter is the PA-5, as long as the wind isn’t blowing. Fantastic from circle 1 and holds a line longer from circle 2 than most that I have tried.
Favorite throwing putter is impossible for me to decide. I have 3 that I use regularly for 3 different types of shots. They are the Prodigy A5, Berg, and Proxy. Love them all.
For a throwing putter nothing comes close to my Mint Bullet in swirly Apex. Laser straight, feels great, excellent disc to give me confidence.
For a putting putter, Clash Popcorn in Softy. Just throws like it should and does the putter thing to perfection. Great grip and grabs chains.
Pa3 best all around for putting and approach
Lone star bluebonnet is solid putter for putting and throwing. super dependable and it floats ha
Throwing Putter – TSA Praxis
Putting Putter – EV-7 Penrose
Putting putter: K3 Rekos all day long
Throwing putter: Thought Space Praxis no question. Except can’t find them anymore
My favorite throwing putter is the Alpaca. It goes dead straight when I want it to, but it also works great for anhyzer throws – it’ll curve around to the right then level out to settle gently.
My favorite putting putter is the Voodoo. The deep rim accommodates my big hands and the sloped rim gives me someplace to rest my pointer finger.
1 – I know the Zone technically falls into the putter category here, but I’d suggest that OS approach discs (Zone, Slammer, Harp, etc) are almost distinct enough to be outside the scope of this question, even though I do love the Zone. My favorite throwing putter is the Eclipse 2.0 Proxy from Axiom. It’s reliably straight and super comfortable in the hand. The glow plastic is also comfortable in all weather conditions.
2 – My go-to putting putter for the last 3 years has been the Link from Discmania in Lumen Hard and Exo Hard plastics. It’s not too deep and I like the moderate bead for reinforcing good hand placement. I also don’t want a putting putter with excessive glide, especially in the wind, and the Link feels less likely to sail too far past the basket on a bad putt.
Best putting putter for me is Prodiscus Sparta, flies dead straight. Love Gateways Voodoo, Magic and AGL Acacia as well!
I’m not surprised that Jester Disc Golf’s “Love” putter didn’t make the list but it’s a great putting putter in the taffy plastic. Just sayin!
I have a PA-3 and Envy in my bag top pocket. I also bag a Glitch and Pig, although Innova recently “re-numbered” the Pig to a 4-speed..
In my quest for the perfect putter, I have bagged 8 out of the top 12 on this list at one point and reviewed or thrown close to three fourths of these.
Some great ones on this list I currently bag: the zone, harp and glitch.
As my putting putter, I settled on one of the most underrated ones, the Discmania Exo Soft Logic. Something about the low profile, beadless feel, just enough stability and grippiness to stick to the chains and prevents rolling.
