Is there truly just one best disc golf putter?

The most important disc in your bag is undoubtedly the putter. This is true for players of all skill levels because putting is the area in which you can improve your overall score the quickest.  

Improving your scores by cutting down on putting strokes is accessible to nearly every player. You don’t have to be a seasoned pro or somebody who can drive over 400 feet to shave a few strokes off your game by improving your putting.  

The putter being the most important disc in the bag is even more relevant for new players. Why? Because, despite its name, the putter is the BEST option for new players to throw off the tee.  

Attempting to answer the question of which disc golf putter is best is a difficult thing to do.

Disc golf, like many other sporting endeavors, factors in a healthy dose of personal preference.  

The putters that you like the most and that feel the best in your hand will probably go a long way in helping you to not only enjoy the game, but to get better at it, as well.

That being said, it’s hard to know what you like the most if you haven’t had the opportunity to try a variety of different things. 

Therefore it’s great to have a place to start if you’re looking to get your first discs or to expand upon your collection. And that’s what we hope to accomplish for you today with this article: a starting point.

How did we choose the best disc golf putters?

In our Best Disc Golf Discs article we used a number of different top-selling and top-rated lists from a variety of sellers worldwide to attempt to highlight some of the best discs on the market.  

We were only able to feature a few top putters because we had to save room for all the other types of discs we wanted to talk about in the article.

For this article, we’ve used the same data, but expanded on the number of putters we were able to feature and talk about.  

The data we used came from:

1. Infinite Discs Top Selling of all Time List (U.S.)

2. Infinite Discs Highest Rated Discs of All Time List (U.S.)

3. Gotta Go Gotta Throw Top Selling List (U.S.)

4. DiscSport.com Most Sold in 2023 List (Europe)

5. DiscSport.com Best Rated List (Europe)

6. Disc Golf Fanatic Most Used Putting Putters By Professionals article (worldwide)

7. Amazon Top Rated List (Worldwide)

8. Amazon Best Sellers List (Worldwide)

9. Ace Runners Best Selling List (Canada)

We counted the number of times a putter appeared on each of these lists and came up with a ranking of what the data tells us are the ten best disc golf putters on the market right now.

We used both top-selling and highest-rated lists because not all people take the time to write reviews, even if they really enjoy the discs. We went with the logic that people show their preference with their buying power, so we felt the top-selling lists were important.

We also included data from what the pros are using because there is certainly some validity in their choices, even for amateurs.

Obviously using the data this way isn’t a perfect science, but we felt it was solid enough to make this article.

I’m sure you are excited to find out what the best disc golf putters are, so let’s get into it.

Best Disc Golf Putters List

Due to the nature of the data were were using, we couldn’t come up with a numbered list because there were so many ties across the top putters. 

Rather than rank them in order by placement (i.e. 8th, 7th, 6th, etc), we’ll rank them in reverse order based on the number of mentions they had on all of the lists we identified above.

Three mentions:

Kastaplast Reko 

Kastaplast Reko

• Flight numbers: 3, 3, 0, 1

• Rim depth: 1.4cm

• *Beadless

• First introduced 2005

The Kastaplast Reko appeared three different times across the top lists that we used.

This putter stands out for its straight flight path and comfortable grip, making it a favorite across skill levels. The Reko is known for its consistent performance and dependability on the putting green. 

Featuring a smooth, rounded profile, it suits most players' hands. It’s also reinforced at the shoulder for added toughness.The word Reko means “trustworthy and effective” in Swedish. Kastaplast is well known for its quality plastic. In K1 plastic the Reko can be a durable thrower. The K3 plastic is great for putting as it has a little tackier grip.

*A note about beadless vs. beaded putters. Beaded means having a small ridge around the edge of the bottom rim.  This is usually added for extra stability from high-powered shots and/or windy conditions. Some players love beaded rims, some don’t. We recommend trying a few different putters to decide for yourself.

Four mentions

Innova Aviar, Discraft Luna, and Discmania P2

Innova Aviar

• Flight numbers = 2, 3, 0, 1

• Rim depth: 1.5 cm

• Beadless

• First introduced 1984

The Aviar is a true modern classic. It’s been around since 1984 and still stands the test of time. It is widely considered the top putter in disc golf, winning more World Championships than any other. 

It is Innova's flagship disc, loved for its versatility and reliability in any conditions. This beadless model offers excellent grip and flies straight with a predictable finish. 

Pros often opt for the KC Pro Aviar, named after Ken Climo, the winningest disc golfer ever.This version of the Aviar is beaded, adding stability, and giving it a flight rating of 2, 3, 0, 2. It has a slightly deeper rim than some of the putters we’ve listed here, so that’s something to consider if you won’t be able to hold it before buying and have hands that are smaller than average. 

Discraft Luna

• Flight numbers: 3, 3, 0, 3

• Rim depth: 1.4 cm

• Beadless

• First introduced 2018

Co-designed with Paul McBeth, this putter is notably more stable than many other putters, making it favored by confident players who a prefer low-glide option with a dependable fade. Backed by McBeth's success, the Luna has gained popularity in recent years.

The Luna features a unique plastic blend, combining Discraft’s Jawbreaker plastic qualities with rubber's durability and tackiness. This combination offers a comfortable grip and confidence during play. 

The Luna is available in a variety of plastics, all of which fly differently, but given this putter’s high fade number, it’s probably not a great option for true beginners.

Discmania P2

• Flight numbers: 2, 3, 0 1

• Rim depth: 1.6 cm

• FIrst introduced in 2007, but re-released in 2021

• Beadless

  
  

The Discmania P2 stands out as a dependable putter favored by professional players and accessible to all skill levels. Its stable flight handles windy conditions and long approaches. Among Discmania's lineup, it was the first disc reintroduced when they resumed production of their own discs from Innova.

The updated P2 maintains its reliable flight path while introducing two new enhancements: an innovative texture for improved grip and the option for personalized flexibility. 

Trusted by top former Discmania athletes like Simon Lizotte and Eagle McMahon, the P2 has certainly won a lot of money on the pro tour. The new P2 is the deepest putter we’ve listed yet at 1.6cm, so that is something to note if you’re considering this putter.

The Top of the Top - Five Mentions

Axiom Envy, Latitude 64 Pure, Dynamic Discs Judge, & Kastaplast Berg

Each one of the following discs appeared in five out of the nine top-selling and top-rated disc lists.

I’ll put them here in no particular order.

Axiom Envy

• Flight numbers = 3, 3, -1, 2  or 3, 3, 0, 2 (depending on plastic)

• Beadless

• Rim Depth: 1.4cm

• First introduced 2014

This putter gained fame when James Conrad nailed an incredible shot with it at the 2021 World Championships to force a playoff against Paul McBeth, which he ultimately won. 

It's known as one of the best throwing putters out there, but it’s great for both putting and throwing. 

Fresh out of the box, it has a bit of fade but smooths out to fly dead straight. It can handle plenty of power, making it great in windy conditions. 

Plus, despite having similar flight numbers to other putters, many people report it flies faster and further. 

And now, Eagle McMahon is adding it to his team series discs with his new sponsorship.

Latitude 64 Pure (3, 3, -1, 1)

• Flight numbers = 3, 3, -1, 1

• Beadless

• Rim Depth: 1.4cm

• First introduced 2009

The Pure is known for its straight flight path, making it a solid choice for short putts, longer approach shots, and drives. 

Given that it was first introduced in 2009 and still tops many best-selling and highest rated lists, it is considered a modern classic in the realm of putt and approach discs, especially in Europe. 

With a comfortable grip and medium depth rim, it offers minimal fade, ensuring precise control. 

Its versatility allows it to hold any line, whether left, straight, or right. Notably, it’s the putter used by two-time world champion Kristin Tattar.

Dynamic Discs Judge

• Flight numbers: 2, 4, 0, 1

• Beaded

• Rim Depth: 1.5cm

• First introduced 2012

The Judge is said to have a predictable flight path and reliable chain-hitting capabilities. When thrown, it delivers straight flights with impressive gliding distances (because of its 4 glide). 

With its straight, stable flight, and large bead, the Judge has become a go-to putter for many. The bead on this putter is what helps it keep a stable flight path when thrown with power or into wind. 

People are divided on the feel of a beaded putter when putting. I recommend you try to get your hands on this to see if you like it before purchasing. 

That being said, it’s well-loved by a large number of people so its bead is clearly not that divisive!

Kastaplast Berg 

• Flight numbers (1, 1, 0, 2)

• Beadless

• Rim Depth: 1.4cm

• First introduced 2015

The Berg is a unique “love-it-or-hate it” type disc. Considering it was found on five out of nine of our top-rated and highest-selling lists, there must be a few people who love the Berg!

This disc is notable due to its thumbtrack and its lowered flight plate. These two features combined make the perfect groove for your grip, almost conforming to your hand.  You really have to feel it to understand it.

It’s low glide allows you to throw your approach shots with power and confidence knowing it won’t sail past the basket.

It also has a considerable amount of high-speed stability, allowing it to resist turning over in the wind, whether throwing backhand or forehand. 

I haven’t seen any high-level players using this disc as a putting putter, but it is very popular for putting among amateur players, especially in windy conditions.

Do your homework, choose one, & stick with it

Like we say in many of our articles, the best disc golf equipment is likely the one that feels the best to you.

That being said, if you have no idea where to start when choosing a putter, this article is a fantastic starting point.  

If you decide to purchase any of the discs featured here, you surely won’t be disappointed, as they are all high-quality, well-known, and well-liked molds.  

Even if you decide one of them isn’t for you, you should have no problem selling it on the second-hand market or trading it with your friends.

If you can, talk to some people at your local course who might have these molds.  Get them into your hands, see how they feel, throw a few putts and drives.

And once you decide on a putter, stick with it! I wish I had heard this advice sooner. Don’t be like me and switch between 30 different putters thinking that the mold is the reason you can’t hit putts.  Stick with one and learn it well.

What underrated putters do you feel should be on this list? Let us know and give us your rationale in the comments.

Happy hucking!
