Feedback & Reviews on the Innova Rhyno:

[quote][one_half]I ditched my Ions and Anodes for the rhyno, I have SE’s and you just can’t deny what they do in the wind! I straddle putt with plenty if zip on them and they really hold the line.

– Cam

[/one_half][one_half_last]This is my putter of choice, it has made my anhyzer putt skill really come up from the ashes!As an overstable putter yet it is still a disc to be counted on. I also use it as a approach shot disc where my mid range might be to much for.

– Brandon

Feedback & Reviews on the MVP Ion:

[quote][one_half]The Proton (not soft) is very stiff. This putter is probably best for driving or longer putts. Has a tendency to roll when hitting the ground. Best wind putter (for putting, not driving) I have ever used; fights a headwind like a champ. Many players can throw Ions a long way and serve more as a midrange than a putter.

– Jason

[/one_half][one_half_last]Ion takes over when I need to anhyzer around something on a putt or approach. This disc is perfect for me for the 75′ and out go for it situations. Nice dependable flight and stability with the small beaded rim.

– Aaron

Feedback & Reviews on the Discraft Zone:

[quote][one_half]The zone is the most overstable putter by Discraft. It has a consistant and predictable fade. This is not a disc for begginers. I find this disc very useful in wooded courses and for my second shot approache, ESPECIALLY when there is wind! In my experience this disc will skip when landing, so if you need that extra skip towards the basket, this is a gread disc for that purpose! I highly reccomend this disc, it will get a lot of use!

– Derek

[/one_half][one_half_last]This disc is very predictable and very comfortable in the hand. It has more of a midrange feel to it than a putter. I like using it for approach shots and holes 300′ or under that require a lot of hyzer. I also throw forehand anny flips with this disc to get out of trouble, which has saved me many times.

– Ben

Feedback & Reviews on the Gateway Magic:

[quote][one_half]I own 7… If that’s not a testament enough I will explain more. This disc is everything you want in an understable putter. Not so understable though that it won’t hold a line. And like every gateway disc you can get it in exactly the grip you want it in.

– Joshua

[/one_half][one_half_last]Excellent understable putter. Little wrist, and it will go dead straight 40 feet. It is Gateway, so you can get whatever plastic feel you want. Not a great driving putter, but can be used for short anhyzers. Only disc I putt with.

– Jason

[/one_half_last][/quote]


Feedback & Reviews on the Gateway Wizard:

[quote][one_half]The Wizard is one of (if not THE) top-rated putter because it does everything a putter should do. Flies straight, sticks to chains, doesn’t skip and doesn’t roll away.

– Andrew

[/one_half][one_half_last]I carry 3 at all times in various grades and degradations. I prefer the “eraser” feel of the ss and SSS plastic since I play in wind and rain a lot. The Wizard and Warlock are responsible for about -2 on my overall score since I adopted it. It just does what I tell it to every time. I put in a “fencer” stance with a lot of oomph…

– Rakoz

[/one_half_last][/quote]


Feedback & Reviews on the MVP Anode:

[quote][one_half]As a beginner I can tell you that this disc has a solid spot in my bag, but not as my go to putter. I actually use this more on upshots and putts outside my normal circle. It flies really straight and ends up right where you put it. I don’t drive putters yet, but I hear it is the cats pajamas for that.

– Jumbo

[/one_half][one_half_last]I went out with two putters, my old reliable Aviar that I know and love and this bad boy. Every time I needed to putt, the Anode came out and it never disappointed. Sorry Aviar, you now take the back seat.

– Kirk

Top Rated Discs

Top Disc Golf Drivers

The average disc golfer doesn’t want to try EVERY disc on the market just to find out what the best discs are. We’ve had discs on our site rated and reviewed by hundreds of avid disc golfers to help you determine the best golf discs. If you’re looking for the perfect disc, this is the place to start…

Top Rated Distance Drivers

When it comes to highly rated distance drivers, understable discs hold the top spots, and Latitude 64/Westside discs are highly regarded.

The Saint and Flow have the best overall ratings with nearly every reviewer saying these discs are “must haves.” It’s also interesting that the discs with the highest ratings are generally understable/stable and in the 9-11 speed category. This is likely due to the fact that the average disc golfer isn’t powerful enough for the ultra high speed discs. Moral of the story: If you don’t consistently throw for more than 350 feet, you’ll probably be happiest with a moderate speed distance driver.

Worst Rated Disc

In case you want to buy a disc that nobody likes, the Innova Groove is the one to choose. This is the only disc we have that has double digit, negative ratings.

Discmania P-Line P2 Psycho

Discmania announced today that they are launching the Psycho P2 in their P-Line plastic. This gives the disc a new price point, where it was previously available in the very affordable D-Line and in the premium, most expensive, S-Line.

Discmania is manufactured by Innova, so each plastic line is very comparable to any Innova plastic. The P-line is exactly similar to the Pro Line plastic. Discmania states that this plastic is “a plastic blend very similar to that used in Innova’s KC Aviars, so you know it will only get better with age.”

[one_half]Whether it gets better or not with age is up to the individual player, as they adjust as the disc adjusts. The JK Aviar is a very smooth disc with a grippy texture and an easy release.

The new plastic option will probably be your smartest decision in purchasing this putter. The reason being, putters do not require a higher grade plastic as they avoid the abuse that a distance driver may experience. [/one_half]

[one_half_last][box type=”download”]Discmania claims that this will be the putter of choice among the pros by next year. We’ll see if that’s true or not, but either way… You can purchase the disc by clicking here.[/box][/one_half_last]At the same time, the increased durability from the lower D-line plastic means that you can keep this disc in your bag for a long time and plan on it being dependable each time you pull it out for a nice short putt.
