Best Disc Golf Putters for 2025

July 15, 2025 Ted Hegemann 24 comments

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. Now that we’ve reached the half way point of the year, we wanted to look at our sales and the disc ratings for 2025 so far. First, let’s look at the data for 2024.

Top 50 Disc Golf Putters 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:

1 MVP Glitch

2 Infinite Discs Alpaca

3 Discraft Zone

4 Axiom Envy

5 Infinite Discs Tomb

New to the top 10 for 2024 are the Prodigy PA-3 and Latitude 64 Pure.

Top 50 Disc Golf Putters For 2025

The Discraft Zone worked its way back to the top spot for 2025. The perennial favorite joins most of the top 10 in appearing in some order on the list.

Here are the top five for 2025:

1 – Discraft Zone

2 – Axiom Pixel

3 – Infinite Discs Alpaca

4 – Gateway Wizard

5 – Infinite Discs Tomb

Joining the elite top 10 for 2025 is the Streamline Range. The Range was released later in the year last year, and didn’t have time to make the list.

Top Brands for Best Putters

Once again, Discraft has the most molds in the top 50 with seven. In addition to the number one Zone, they also have the Luna in the top ten. MVP has the second most brands in the top 50. They were one mold shy of number one with six molds. Their top selling putter is the Glitch. Tied for the third most brands in the top 50 were Axiom, Kastaplast, and Discmania.

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 is also part of the Infinite Rewards program. 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 nailed down the top spot again with the Z line plastic. It has an average rating of 4.91 out of 5 stars. Tying for second is the ESP Zone and the Neutron Soft Glitch. Both of those molds have 4.84 stars. These discs are typically throwing putters. Although there are people who use them to putt,

#1 Discraft Z-Line 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 Discraft ESP Zone

#3 MVP Neutron Soft Glitch

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 an impressive 4.94-star rating! Taking second is the Westside BT Medium Harp, with 4.83 stars. In third place with a 4.81 star rating is the Innova R-Pro Rhyno.

#3 Goliath Discs Oasis Pillar The Pillar is a super-beefy putter that is great for headwinds and big arms. Their Oasis plastic is a clear, extra-durable blend.

#2 Westside Discs BT Medium Harp

#3 Innova R-Pro Rhyno

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, 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. The Eclipse 2.0 Envy, however, has a perfect 5.0 rating. Taking second place is the Jawbreaker Zone, with a 4.95 rating. In the final podium spot is the long-time Gateway hit, the Wizard. In Super Stupid Soft, the Wizard averages 4.94 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 Eclipse 2.0 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.

#2 Discraft Jawbreaker Zone

#3 Gateway Super Stupid Soft Wizard

Highest Rated Stable Flying Disc Golf Putters

For a neutral flying putter, it’s hard to beat the glidey Glitch. For long putts, approach sots, or playing catch to warm up, the Glitch is a go-to disc for many. The Neutron Soft Glitch has an average rating of 4.84. 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.

Tied for second place are two Infinite molds: The D-Blend Alpaca, one of our top-selling molds, and the D-Blend

#1 MVP Neutron Soft 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.

#T2 Infinite Discs D-Blend Alpaca

#T2 Infinite Discs D-Blend Tomb

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 molds. To be on top of this category apparently requires perfection. The top three molds all have 5.0 ratings! Check out the top 20 to see how many of brands you are familiar with.

#T1 Prime Burst Deputy

Best Throwing Putters of 2024

May 28, 2024 Ted Hegemann 27 comments

Whenever we post a blog about the best putters, we invariably get a few responses that point out we shouldn’t be including putters such as the Discraft Zone or the MVP Glitch on our list of putters. While these molds are considered putters because of their speed and dimensions, they are rarely used to actually putt with. Instead, these discs and others like them are typically used to throw off the tee or as approach discs. Although we may get a few people point out that they putt with the discs we will discuss, we will still consider them throwing or driving putters. With that in mind, let’s look at the best throwing putters.

Top 10 Best Throwing Putters

Let’s look at the top 10 throwing putters and learn more about them. Then we will crown the winner. The winner will be chosen by sales numbers and reviews. The top 10 list is presented in alphabetical order by mold.

Infinite Discs Alpaca

Descriptions Of The Best Throwing Putters

Infinite Discs Alpaca

The Infinite Discs Alpaca being sucked into a spaceship

The Infinite Discs Alpaca has been a hit since its release, and continues to be the top putting putter for Infinite pros. However, it is also widely used as a throwing putter, due to its ability to handle the power of a drive or approach. The Alpaca feels similar to the popular P2 putter, but is slightly faster. It is made in several plastic types, giving you the exact feel you need for your big drives!

Innova Aviar

A black Innova Aviar with a white stamp

The Innova Aviar is one of the few discs that your dad might have started with. It was one of the first discs made by Innova and has been popular ever since. In fact, it is one of the most popular putters of all time. The Aviar is beadless (although there are beaded versions) and has a stable to overstable flight. Many top pros have chosen the Aviar as their signature disc.

Kastaplast Berg

Yellow Kastaplast Berg with Black Stamp

This speed 1 mold will impress you with its consistency. And its amazing feel in your hand! Although it is widely used as putting putter, players who have discovered its great feel and performance off the tee swear by the Kastaplast Berg. You may not get your longest approach shots with a Berg, but if you want a disc for precision shots, consider this disc.

Axiom Envy

Although many people were aware of how great the Axiom Envy was for driving prior to James Conrad’s famous shot at Worlds, that Holy Shot boosted its popularity to another level. Also known as a putting putter the Envy is a shapeable disc that can handle the power of a world champ. With his recent sponsor change (as of this writing), you can add Eagle McMahon to the list of pros that reach for an Envy for their drives and approaches.

MVP Glitch

When MVP released the Glitch two years ago, the throwing mold was an instant hit. It makes a great approach disc and a nice mold to use to warm up. Its low speed means the disc is good for technical shots that require precise distances. With its low fade, you know the disc will sit where it lands. Try out the Glitch and see why Simon has his name on the mold.

Axiom Pixel

The first putter in the Simon Line of discs, the Axiom Pixel Is a straight-flying disc that has a micro-bead on its overmold rim. The Pixel is stable enough to handle a head wind, but easy to throw on specific lines. It has a deep rim and a micro bead.

Latitude 64 Pure

Peach colored Latitude 64 Pure with gold stamp

Perfect for players of all skill levels, the Pure can be used to cover a lot of ground off the tee. Many people find the Latitude 64 Pure is great for putting as well as driving. The beadless putter has a bit of turn to help you shape tight shots, and a little fade to help you flex out and fade.

Infinite Discs Tomb

Red Infinite Discs Tomb with a silver stamp

The Tomb is a popular approach disc that sports a flat top and a beaded rim. Its stability give it some beef in a wind, but not a crazy dump at the end of its flight. If you like the feel of a beaded putter you will be happy with the performance and feel of the Tomb

Gateway Wizard

Swirly purple Legacy Wizard disc with black wizard stamp

The Gateway Wizard has been around for longer than many of us have been playing disc golf. Few other molds have been available in more plastic blends. This beaded putter is as versatile as its plastic types. Not only can the Wizard be used for a variety of drives and approaches, you will feel just as comfortable finishing the hole with the same disc. The Wizard has been a best-seller for Gateway for decades.

Discraft Zone

Blue Paul McBeth 4X signature Zone with black stamp

A perennial favorite disc for driving and approaches, the Discraft Zone is well known for its ability to fight headwinds and handle powerful drives. The Zone is a beefy disc that can be used by pros and newer players. It is the disc that we get the most comments about when we list it among the best putters, because few people actually putt with them.

And the winner is…

I hate to say it, but there was a tie for the Best Throwing Putter. The top two discs, the Glitch and the Alpaca, had a sudden-death playoff. And emerging on top is the Infinite Discs Alpaca! The difference came down to headwind shots. The Alpaca can handle a headwind and still deliver a great drive or approach. The Glitch is a lighter disc and is more affected by a wind. Both are popular discs and are highly rated.

Runner-up-runner-up

While the Alpaca and Glitch are taking first and second, nipping at their heals is the popular Axiom Envy. Many disc golfers reach for the Envy for accurate and long drives or approaches. Even top pros rely on its stable, reliable flight.
