Which Disc Golf Putter Should YOU Be Throwing?

[@DOPES4MAGA]

I am really liking your channel. I like some of the foundation stuff, but I find that these casual throw and chats are really nice. It gives us an idea what a disc does and you are a great presenter.

[@daarcheDG]

Either Trevor’s wife or his alt KZbin account 😉😉 For real though, love the content and the branching out

[@rasmushjorth2120]

The commitment to "The Lab" did it for me! Great informative video Trevor. Have to love throwing putters!

[@jesty86]

Awesome video. A lot of thought and work went into this. You didn't get lazy like most youtubers by only 2 or 3 discs then gloss over things. You gave every disc a fair shake, even going so far as to re-throw obvious shanks. Worth watching all 40 minutes!

[@Wooxzy]

I've bagged Simon's music city open Proxy since he won that tournament and I absolutely love it. It has a very true to the release angle flight for me when I throw it hard but if I put less power behind it, it has a consistent overstable finish. I used to throw Envy, but the Proxy took over that slot for me. Loved the putter comparisons and enjoy the new chill vibes of the channel so far!

[@nateberinger1600]

same bro

[@sindrearnasjdahl9760]

How would you compare the two molds?

[@Wooxzy]

The molds feel pretty similar in the hand. I used to throw the electron envys, but they beat in very quickly. Of course you can get higher quality plastics to prevent this from happening, but I presonally like the feel of the proxy in my hands more than envys. I'd say the envy feels slightly more deep in my hands than the proxy which is why I prefer the proxy myself. You really can't go wrong with either of them tbh, so I'd say give them both a feel test in the hand before buying one or the other because the feel is really what matters the most imo. @@sindrearnasjdahl9760

[@nathanmorgan9111]

Really appreciate the Monday morning videos. I watch/listen videos and podcasts during my drives and lunch workout and needed something monday for lunch workout and you are filling that for me! Enjoy the content as always

[@wesendreizehn6710]

Berg is also really good for forehand approaches, while other slower putters can be quite finicky. The bulky rim makes it quite torque-resistent and wont turn over unless you completely hammer it. It does need some practice to get used to the grip though.

[@NigramPecudem]

I really like the idea of a series of videos focused on a specific bag slot and breaking down 1) the shots they are used for 2) what types of discs can fit it and 3) how different discs can slightly change the way you use that slot. Some options are control driver, overstable mid range, max distance driver, tunnel shot / gap hitters, utility disc, forehand disc, turnover disc.

[@chrism4008]

That show exists, its called In The Bag. It's a really good show

[@NigramPecudem]

@@chrism4008 Great podcast, but not quite the same format - I think there is room for more of a field test focused on the slot and the shot. In the Bag generally focuses more on the actual discs themselves, helping people build bags, etc.

[@youreatowel1103]

Reko has been my jam for throwing putters. I've flipped back and forth between throwing Reko and Envy, and always have a k1 soft Berg close by for when I need a disc to 'plop' down.

[@jcgarcia1931]

My Rekos go where my Bergs can't reach. They glide considerably farther but my Berg is way more accurate and safe from overthrowing. Both live in my bag.

[@Steventhrowsbirds]

Envy 🤝🏻

[@ellrock41]

Rekos are my absolute favorite!

[@calebonner8782]

K1 soft Brrrrrg ftw! Its a scramble machine and gives me so much confidence on those short but touchy upshots

[@dalecantrell6873]

I enjoyed this video. Also, the Maiden by Westside in the VIP plastic is a super underrated throwing putter.

I think this is your best video yet on this channel These are great comparisons and really do help to see differences, similarities, pros and cons I'm still basically a beginner and discovered early on that I get the most consistent throws with putters Please do more of these I'm using a Mercy here

[@ydujrelyt2101]

I’m a little surprised the Luna didn’t get a look on this video, cuz I see a lot of people use the Luna for throwing putters like Anthony Barela and Paul McBeth (obviously) I have been using Lunas for throwing putters and they would fit nicely in that p2 spot. Glidy, stable disc that is actually very durable. Doesn’t lose its stability as quickly. I like the look of the Aviar though and will definitely give it a try! Thanks for the break down! 🙌🏼

[@hailstone_]

Agreed, the Luna is money

[@WeAreAllFake]

He said in the summary that he didn't throw a Luna because it's too similar to the Roach.

[@jmcilwain776]

The Matty O maiden in tournament x plastic is the best throwing putter out right now. Especially if you have smaller hands. I feels super shallow in hand 🖐️

[@bensieber6960]

I love Maidens too but tournament plastic just slips out of my hand too often. I tried an experiment over a summer of field work and rounds with Maidens in Origio, BT Medium, BT Hard, Tournament and VIP and found that I consistently got the best distance and accuracy with BT Medium. This was a surprise - I expected the VIP or Tournament to have better distance but the BT Medium and even BT Hard were nearly always farther. I think it comes down to my grip. That's my hypothesis anyway.

[@Itsalexdg]

Really enjoyed this video! I also love throwing putters. My favourites between the once I’ve tried is pure, soft logic and glow rainmaker. I would love for you to try more putters and then go forward with mids and then fairways. Really good videos, keep em coming!

[@The1jonnyz]

Fierce Pierce is always my go to for upshots and putting. Keep the AWESOME videos coming. I'm definitely enjoying your content!

[@soxzys4235]

Trevor! Innova invader is probably the most underrated throwing putter at the moment.

[@kmd4742]

Going to give a star aviar a shot at the bag now.... Been using a opto pure forever now but want to try the aviar after this. Used to putt with 8 time aviars so should be pretty familiar... Love these laid back videos.

[@rootedii]

This is a great episode. I only use putters and mids most of the time. Drivers just cause problems. Always interested in putter content. Upshot’s and scrambles are where I live.

[@itsThan_]

Very big fan of this video. Informative, but also just fun Trevor vibes while he plays. Also: I use Praxis and PA5 and A5 for my throwing putters. ESP Zone if I need more bite and a little more distance.

[@normangensel]

Love the content. Keep them coming, please. I have improved my game tremendously from some of your tips and advice on discs and function. Thank you for changing my game 👍

[@adroehm]

Great video. I loved hearing what you expected to happen before the throw and then hearing your commentary.

[@markrichard9396]

After buying a couple Westside Shields to try for putting, I ended up sticking with Wardens for putting and the Shields have become an amazing upshot and off the tee disc. They seem like they're just a touch more stable than your Roach. I also have an Envy which I can rip on a lot more when needed.

[@WrappedBaggage]

Really liking the content, would like to add that another good disc for this list is Pure from Latitude 64, based on how you threw in the video, I’d say it has the distance potensial of the envy and the stability of the judge. I don’t really have a lot of arm speed, but my Pure goes 300 feet easily and does that laser-straight the whole way.

[@stevendeckert6373]

The pure is a bit more understable than the Judge.

[@WrappedBaggage]

@@stevendeckert6373 Okay, I’ve never thrown the Judge so I woundn’t know, but thanks for the info. The pure I have, I can pretty much throw it as hard as I can and if I release it flat, it never turns and never fades. Perfect disc to have for long straight tunnels 👍🏻

[@trevzy91]

Big ups for re-throwing the unlucky shots, I see so many times in disc reviews bad/unlucky shots being used against discs.

[@swemoose74]

Would like to have seen the Logic/Cosmic Fury in the selection.

[@grimr550]

Really amazing video!!!! I throw 90% mvp/axiom and the envy is a very reliable disc. I have 3 of these things in my bag. The clear ones tend to be more overstable and I also have a fission which is understable and both make really good approach putters. I also drive with 1 for Short holes but I don't putt with them. I have a buddy that uses them for putting so these things are versatile for sure!!! 🎉

[@DGDirk]

I was gonna say my neutron Envy flies nothing like his proton.

[@grimr550]

@@DGDirk yes neutron is not as overstable but still a really good disc. As soon as I saw him take it out I knew what was about to happen lol.

[@jinlee919]

Really appreciate how you go back and re-throw less than ideal throws off the tee for a better comparison.

[@SquidNugget-lm1ip]

24:02 Trevor you should have used the watt instead of the envy cause it’s a neutral putter almost like a max weight glitch but definitely try the watt compared to the envy they are both in my bag but I putt with the envy and throw the watt when I need a disc that will just go on whatever line I need it to do forehand or backhand🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Greldek]

I bag 3 putters for driving/upshots. Warden for most shots, Fierce if i need something reliably understable, and zone for reliably overstable.

[@Illusionati420]

New sub. I knew it halfway through this video. Informative, in a fun & humorous way. I'm in.

[@dhyde7723]

Great info...particularly the discussion of going left with under stable discs and right with avertable ones...a concept a lot of newer folks don't understand. I know you were setting a realistic limit on how many you could test, but two other common throwing putters worth mentioning: The Rhyno and the Pure. My personal favorite throwing putter right now is pretty new, and not well known yet, but I really like it: the MVP Watt. It's like the midpoint between the Envy and the Glitch, a bit overstable and quite glidey.

[@ScanBark]

Great video! Lots of information, great and fair comparison. Really like this type of video! Maybe do something similar with mids etc.?

[@gld3gld3]

My throwing putters are Envy, Praxis, Spin (overstable, stable, understable). If i need something even more overstable than the envy i used to reach for a Star Aviar X3, but im currently trying out an Axiom Temple and Lone Star Artemis and loving both of those instead.

[@mikew.762]

I love Classic Blend Judges, I use a new one for throwing, beat in one for putting. They hold any line you put them on and fly true.

[@mikemikeusaf2571]

Your "Lab" comment was hilarious. I had to watch it several times. Keep it up.

[@SRDiscgolf]

Threw the Berg until 2 months ago when i switched to Logic , and the reason are very similiar to how you described the Berg in the review👍👍 great stuff

[@dblevins343]

The Proxy and Pure are my favorite straight throwing putters. My max distance is 320 (woth control drivers) and the Pure and Proxy are the perfect amount of flip. They go straight for about 180-220 ft. The PA-5 is money for turnover shots or softer approach shots where you still need a straight throw but the distance is short.

[@GamingMailbox]

Fortunately just found your channel right as you are getting started. I am brand new to disc golf. Love the form you use to throw these putters. I have told myself that if I can't throw a putter the way I want to, why would I be able to throw a distance driver any better? I am working with an Aviar and soon an Invader. Other than midrange that is all I am going to use to try to get to the basket and work on my form and distance, hopefully manipulating the throw will come in between that. You were driving standing still though, which I don't do, but maybe I will try to make things more simple. Would love to see this video done for other putters or even midrange and fairway drivers. I subbed to catch the next one

[@DannyRWade]

The envy is nice but I prefer the proxy for this slot a bit more. It’s like an envy without the “bite” at the end. I think that makes it a bit more workable on more lines. It can hold a hyzer or anhyzer just as well. The envy is better for slight flex shots though. Cool vid man!

[@Picklemedia]

Glo proxy my favourite. Super neutral point and shoot. Very dependable also

[@curtisridenour]

I bag both. They compliment each other well. I also use the proxy more up in the mountains.

[@Jombah88]

Judge and Envy in my bag since 2018, i think at least from 2019. Amazing discs!

[@JasonMRamer1975]

I just found this channel. Great video for starters. The Berg is a disc that you prob not going to be able to over-torque. Don't be afraid to tear into it. That Cash disc I'll be checking out soon. Thanks for the vid.

[@Daddyjerryplays]

Thought space praxis has to be one of the best throwing putters out there as well, it’s one of the smoothest and just stable flying putters out there. I tell everyone they should try one out I highly recommend. Should give it a try Trevor

[@rageoid]

Good video. We all know the Judge has complete jurisdiction on and near every green ! Gateway Magic waves the wand from anywhere.

[@0HorrorShow0]

For me it's all about the depth. I absolutely hate throwing the P2 despite how much everyone raves about it. I putt with a Pure and my thrower is an Orbit Pure.

[@stevenmoran9148]

Thanks for the content, was hoping to hear your opinion on the judge and that was very well said. I putt with a classic blend and love throwing them too. You're one of few people I see throwing them and as much as I love the pros the cons you brought up are accurate. My thought is you have to focus on the follow through to be sure on the line. If you can throw a judge you can throw anything

[@Tlcroslin]

Just started the vid. No issues with the putters you picked, just wanted to say pure opto is my absolute favorite throwing putter. (Bh only)

[@skeller61]

Too bad about the Double G Aviar. I’m a Seminole, but it’s hard not to like GG. I’ve collected a lot of discs, but with a max distance of 290’, putters don’t work for me off the tee. I do use them as approach discs from about 150’ in. I would say you do need a neutral flyer (I bag a Judge). It’s nice to have a point and shoot. I use an Envy, mostly for windy conditions. I use putters when I want it to land fairly late and not get a ton of ground play. Thanks for your video. It got me thinking and I’ll have to pull out the P2 and Berg to re-examine what they do.

[@TonyTrez]

Great vid Trev, I just added an envy to my bag still haven't used it much but excited more for it now, my putters right now are the luna and watt and just really love em right now.

[@russellquinn4285]

I have a K1 Soft berg that I absolutely love! But I do have some rules for it. 1. I never throw it off the tee. 2. I never throw it uphill unless I'm close and I know I can't make the putt. 3. I only throw it for like 100-150 fooupshots. I think in that slot specifically is where the berg can really shine, but it is definitely not the "Swiss army knife" you're looking for here

[@frankhubbard2863]

I appreciate all the hard work you put in for us trevor. You're awesome!

[@reidbeilby121]

You definitely should add into this mix the prodigy A5 and then the P model US! Both are great throwing putters without being super overstable!

[@robby4770]

Electron firm plastic adds a lovely amount of flip to the envy especially when beat in.

[@bigmacc882]

A personal favorite for me is a premium plastic sensei by discmania, it’s one that I throw a lot for longer upshots and off the tee if I think its one I can reach with a putter. I also have a berg for those touchier upshots

[@JacobLikesMusic]

Since I use putters and midranges for 90% of my shots I have 4 throwing putters. Mvp Spin great hyzerflip disc, flies sorta like a fuse with less glide and less speed. Envy as overstable putter. Glitch holds any line for short throws with tons of glide and it's quite stable and I also use it for short straight shots with no fade with fan grip. Berg shapes nicely too but with minimal glide which means less movement to the side at least on anhyzers. Amazing for forehands and short hyzers approaches and spike hyzers, it usually comes in slow and sticks the landing. (K1 soft)

[@marceltress1911]

Yo Trev, like what you've been doing with the channel. I think you are on to a good start! I have been trying to get Foundations take on some Yikun discs that I have really been loving but maybe itll be better on your channel. I'd suggest the Yikun GUI (Dragon plastic) and the Ling. The GUI is your typical driving putter that looks and feels great but the Ling is an awesome flippy putter that can get easy hyzer flip/turnover shots or some cool rollers. I love the creative lines I can make with both of these discs. Try em out, one might make your bag.

[@loganMackDiscing]

I started throwing my aviar recently. Very straight flying! I also throw a harp but a lot of people do haha

[@wb5mgr]

I throw either a Prime or Classic Blend Warden (Max Weight) or a Pure in Medium (Max Weight). The two are fairly similar feel in the hand but the pure is a little straighter flying.

[@ryansuter4424]

The MVP Watt is a good gadget disc as well. It has neutral numbers but I would say is closer to plus 1 stability than 0 in stability.

[@IceBergTV]

[@tjmccormick5037]

Good video idea Trevor!! But I’d like to shine some light on the berg… it’s a good up shot disc but with it having no glide you have to give it good height. Also a disc similar to the judge that I’d suggest is the westside maiden. Has a beautiful flight! Very very glidy disc

[@tjmccormick5037]

I’d like to add the bergs the perfect disc for 200ft up shots. You can chuck it as hard as you want and it’s not going to turn over it just flies dead straight at max speed and dies out on its own with not so much a fade but more a drop from where it is.

If you want a phenomenal neutral throwing putter for shot shaping, I cannot recommend the TSA Praxis enough. The newest aura run (turtle stamp) feels AMAZING and has a little bit of extra stability so it should beat in amazingly. It flies like a beefy Pure with a very similar handfeel to the Pure. Delicious.

I have been looking for a more over stable putter and i loooove the envy but i tend to be able to straiten it out a bit more than i want to but i dont want a dumpy over stable putter/ approach disc like the zone. I do have a jawbreaker zone on the way hoping i could straiten it out but that will take some beat in time and the zone just doesnt quite fit my hand comfortably. I also need a shallow disc as i have smaller hands. I have tried many over stabke putters like the reko x and kotuku which both have the flight i want but are too deep and i get inconsistent releases Would the cash be a slightly more over stable version of an envy along with a glidy fade rather than dumpy fade? Also what plastic is your cash? I was considdering the alpha plastic for durability so it wont straiten out as soon and possibly have added over stability. I know, its kind of a goldie locks putter i am looking for! Its been a treasure hunt to find one that works.

[@hyperutetic]

Long time aviar user, putting and throwing. Stuck with it because of availability and different plastics. Use a 165 gram champion plastic for form work and base plastic ones

Want shallower discs with similar flights? Try the Innova Colt if you like the less stable flight of the Roach that was thrown. Try the Infinite Tomb if you want a similar flight to the Avair,or Judge that were thrown. I have not thrown the Gateway Chief or the Chief OS but I know they are shallower than many discs.

Bergs are most useful for approach shots where you don’t want it to roll (for example on a hill or a mound), and for longer putts where you want to eliminate wind as it seems to cut out the wind quite well.
