If you’re new to disc golf or just looking to improve your short game, understanding putters is a great place to start. Putters are the most important discs in your bag—whether you’re sinking a basket or making a controlled approach shot. At Divergent Discs, we design our putters to be easy to throw, beginner-friendly, and perfect for all skill levels. Here’s what you need to know!
What Is a Disc Golf Putter?
A putter is a type of disc golf disc designed for short, accurate throws—usually within about 10 meters (33 feet) of the basket. Putters have a blunt edge, deep rim, and fly straighter at low speeds compared to drivers or midranges. They’re also great for approach shots where control is more important than distance.
Why Use a Putter?
- Accuracy: Putters fly straight and predictable, making them ideal for short-range shots.
- Control: Their slower speed means less chance of overshooting the basket.
- Versatility: Great for putting, approach shots, and even short drives for beginners.
