Best Disc Golf Putters for 2025
At Infinite, we like to look at our sales data for the year to see which discs are hot, and what changes in disc preference we see with our customers. As the new year rolls around, we will be checking out the data and will be reporting what we find. With that in mind, let’s look at the numbers. Before we get into this year’s data let’s look at the top putters for 2023, so we can see any changes from year to year:
Top 50 Disc Golf Putters Sold in 2023
The glidey Glitch was sitting on the top spot by a couple percentage points, with the perennial favorite, the Alpaca, sitting in second. The Zone, Envy, and Tomb rounded out the top five. Over 25% of all putters sold last year were one of these five discs.
The Berg, Wizard, Proxy, Judge and Luna rounded out the top 10 for 2023. Those five molds sold over 12% of all discs for the year, which is still a lot of discs!
Now let’s see how the numbers look for 2024
Despite the second- through fifth-place molds remaining consistent, 2024 has welcomed a new top-seller. The Axiom Pixel, which made its debut late 2023, didn’t have the opportunity to surpass the well-liked Glitch. However, last year, the Pixel sold sufficiently to claim first place, making up over 7% of all putter sales! The Glitch has fell to seventh place.
Although the Glitch holds the top spot for the year, its sales numbers have dropped a bit from the first of the year. When we looked at the sales data mid-year 2024, the Glitch represented over 10% of all putters sold. However, it is still holding a good sized market share.
Let’s look at the top five molds for 2024:
New to the top 10 for 2024 are the Prodigy PA-3 and Latitude 64 Pure. Dropping out are the Proxy and Judge.

Top Brands for Best Putters
Discraft moved up one spot and became the leader with seven putters landing in the top 50. They took the title from MVP, who had seven molds in 2023, but dropped to just three putters on the list last year. Axiom and Infinite moved up a couple spots to tie with Innova, who dropped one place. Discmania who had the same number of molds in the top 50 and still made the top 5 brands.
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.
#2 Axiom Envy

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.
#3 Prodigy A1 The A1 handles a headwind with ease and fades hard at the end of its flight. The A1 is a good choice for the big arms.

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 MVP Glitch – Because the Glitch has a huge amount of glide, it is great for long putts, approach shots, or even shots off the tee. The Glitch also makes a great catch disc to warm up before a round.

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.
#2 EV-7 Mobius

I’ve been bagging an alpaca as my throwing putter for a while now.
I put with a Clash Discs Fudge.
I’m the kind of person that swaps my putters out quite a bit. Right now I’m kind of getting into 1-speed putters, and I’m really liking the Glitch and Glyph. I’ve heard I should try the Spore though.
For throwing, nothing tops the Envy. For putting, I switch a lot depending on the season but right now I’m putting with a Link.
1- I love the zone for a throwing putter. It is consistent and reliable. Handles wind well and feels great in the hand.
2- I recent switched to the alpaca for a putting putter and love it! In my first tournament using the alpaca I shot well above my rating thanks to some consistent putting with the alpaca.
My go to throwing putter is the Prodigy A4. Awesome dependable mold, though it’s now OOP, so I guess I won’t be able to depend on it once my stack is gone.
My putting putter is the Gateway Chief in SS or SSS. Nice and shallow, feels good in my hand.
I have soooo many putters in my bag, but i’d say my fav throwing putter is the Z-Glo Zone, and putting putter is R2 Anode. I know, I’m weird with the slick plastics lol
1) My favorite throwing putter is the Signature P-Blend Glow Alpaca. Straight with a little fade. Almost aced my first throw with it!
2) My putting putter is the JK Aviar. Love the grip the way that soft plastic grabs chains!
I use a Prodiscus Sparta in basic plastic out to edge of circle two. K1 Berg for approaches and long distance putts out to 125 ft or so, mainly forehand. I have been using Sparta’s for several years and I have no intentions of switching. The Berg is worth its weight in gold. In regard to the list I don’t consider the Glitch a putter.
Honorable mention to the Wren, Logic, Banger GT and Alter
If you consider it a putter, the Tempo is my favorite thrower. Though for pure putters, Envy is very close. Putting putter is either the Envy or Proxy, both are about the same for me
Favorite throwing putter for me right now is the Clash Popcorn. I can BH and FH it. For putting putters…I’m liking the P2x.
I throw ss wizards for straight or hyzer approaches with a little fade and for turnover approaches I throw a Fierce.
I putt with ss wizards as well love the small bead and the supersoft plastic.
Throwing I am a fan of the zone for sure. As for strait up putting I’m a fan of SSS wizard in recycled plastic line. It lands solid and refuses the roll away for me if I miss.
I putt with the Nexus Firefly and use the Aviar3 as my throwing putter. I also keep an old DX Aviar for under stable approach shots.
1 – Berg
2 – Challenger
Ted you say “This beefcake is one of the discs in Kevin Jones’ line of music-theme-named discs” of the A1. Is this so, or were you referring to some other disc? As for your question –
1. My go-to throwing putter this winter has been a Soft Pro Aviar Driver. I can give it a good, hard rip for an upshot that will stick upon landing, or throw it with a little anny to flex a little finesses shot.
2. My go-to putting putter has been a beat up 300 Pa-1. She flies pretty straight for me.
My wife throws the pixel
For throwing, my favorite putters have been the Doomsday Bleak and Yikun Xing. For general putting, I’ve actually taken to using the Yikun Claws lid putter more than my others this past season (it’s done quite well for straight shot throwing, too). When wanting understable throws and putts, the Yikun Ling has been a reliable choice.
My go to putting putter is the judge 176 gram. My go to throwing putter is the warden 172 gram. I’ve been testing out a lot of putters and these are the ones that I’ve landed on right now. My first putter was innova sonic, which was actually a perfect beginner disc because it felt just like a frisbee. After that I used an aviar for about a year, a magnet for about 2 years, and very briefly a Luna. I still plan to test out the pixel, P1x, range and berg.
Throw KC Aviars and Aviarx3
Putt with Glow KC Aviars
Throwing putter is a Pure. Putting putter is a Watt.
The BergX for anything 200 and closer. Over that, (depending on what stability is needed) anything from a(n) Proxy, Envy, Kratos or Entropy.
My putting putters are all Jawbreaker Banger GT’s. (Because I have small hands and the thumb-track helps)
I REALLY want to try the Alpaca. I’ve heard nothing but good things.
