Axiom Discs Electron Pixel Simon Lizotte Edition Disc Golf Putter (Choose Your Firmness/Colors May Vary)
Axiom's Electron Pixel Simon Lizotte Edition, a straight putter with a choice of firmness and a special signature stamp.
MVP Disc Sports Cosmic Electron Atom Disc Golf Putter (Choose Your Firmness/Colors May Vary)
MVP's Cosmic Electron Atom, a straight putter with firmness options and swirled Cosmic Electron plastic.
A putter does two jobs, and most players buy for only one of them. Inside the circle you want a disc that feels right in the hand and holds its line into the chains. Off the tee and on approaches you want a slow, stable flight that lands flat and stays put. Rim shape, bead, stiffness and depth affect the putting stroke far more than any number on the flight chart does. We split the picks by job rather than by brand. Soft, deep-rim putters suit a spin putt and grab chains well. Firmer models resist wind and skip less off hard ground. Slightly overstable putters make the best approach and driving discs, since they finish left rather than sliding past the basket for a right-handed backhand. Once you settle on one, buy several and practise with nothing else.
