Few molds missing that would be good to test:
Westside’s Crown, Maiden, and Shield
Lat64 Pure or Keystone
Loft Hydrogen
Streamline Pilot
Dynamic Warden
This is the video where you *really* needed to include a Løft Hydrogen, since they've made the claim that it's *the* straightest flying putter.
They are ridiculously straight. If they didn't feel awful they'd sell a million of them.
I agree it is super straight and should have been included in the video. However I disagree about feeling bad in hand; its totally fine, there are tons of worst discs.
I putt with these and they're so freaking straight. I'd sometimes forget myself and throw it on a hyzer, and the disc just flies straight, but tilted on that hyzer angle.
Came here to suggest the Loft Hydrogen in Alpha plastic. Glad I’m not the only one!
@@eoghana315 I agree, it's definitely made with the flight in mind, not very well designed for powerthrowing, it feels like the plastic warps when it get's that much torque on it. It's probably the best disc for short, low celing airbounces ever made, and if you want to run a 100-130ft putt and still have it sit down in the circle, it's also a go to for me. But not off the tee, unless it's a very short hole.
Would have like to have seen a few more putters added into this. The Westside Crown, Westside Maiden, and Latitude 64 Pure
The Maiden was my go to dead straight to about 280-300 for a while! The MattyO Tournament x beat in a bit and is amazing!
Maiden is great and no classic eMac judge!
Great video! If a sequel is ever in the works, it'd be great to see a streamline Pilot. Thanks!
Surprised to not see the pure or pa3
Agreed .... I would have thought the pure would be there ... I got one in a mystery box and it both flies far and straight for me.
Opto X Pure? I feel like theyre pretty dang straight?
Brilliant as ever. (Don't knock ya old vids)
Ever tried any of New Zealand's RPM discs...
I'd really like to see what u think (I've seen them pop up in a few places... usually a Kotare stunning them with its full side of beef... although I haven't personally seen an RPM KIWI ... I have a Kotare 1R that I can throw 45deg Anhyzer into wind and have it fight back over flat.... (I suspect the KIWI may be the 1st disk I manage to land upside down on its Beef Roll.
(The Kotare 1R was known to be more beef than a herd of cattle... Mine includes the farm and lake district to boot... I call heem Mr Broken.
Oh and if you try to pronounce the RPM names... They are Maori so the vowels A,E,I,O,U instead of pronounved Aye ,Eee, Eye, Oh, You...
are pronounced Ahh, Ehh, E, Oh (as in the start of Ostridge), Ewwww (as in the back end of "You")..
So Kotare is not Ko Tarrr
its more Koh Tah re (with that an ending e sounding a bit like the end of like Meh)
Once you get the hang of that you can try pronouncing.... (And this is an actual real place name... The Road sign has 11 leg posts)
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu
I bag a Lat 64 Opto Pure
No Pure? Maiden? Why would you include the overstable Judge but not the Warden or Keystone?
yeah, its a weird selection of discs. probably just tested the discs they happened to have on hand. I second the keystone being a big miss.
Of course it depends on your style and the angles you are comfortable with. I throw a base Luna on a slight hyzer and it is dead straight.
I have that same sensie and i love it! Mine glides forever effortless distance for a putter.
Maiden; for my noodle arm, is the straightest thing I have ever thrown.
Would have loooved to see the Loft Hydrogen in premium plastic in this lineup! My first "frozen rope" disc.
I love my glitches but they can go too far for me at times, especially the gyro box eclipse one.
The Innova DX Dart would be a good one in this video. It’s my favorite throwing putter; lots of glide, flies straight, and reliable. I picked it because it fit my hand so well (the Loft Hydrogen and the Glitch are hard for me to hold-small hands!) and then discovered its other qualities.
Small brands are nice to see but rather see the more established brands
I was surprised that a classic blend Warden wasn't in the mix. Maybe next time. Thanks for another awesome video and Happy Holidays 🥳
I'm gonna say you probably shouldn't test discs in glow plastic unless you want a more oberstable option.
My go too is a proxy and pure
Unfortunate to only have a glow proxy, MVP glow plastic is always more stable than their other plastics.
Most recent runs of glow plastic seems to be pretty much same stability as other premium plastics. This applies at least envy, proxy, hex and pilot
Proxy eclipse and neutron aren’t even close
@@teeeeeeeemu eclipse 2.0 envy is WAY beefier than other plastics, including cosmic neutron. It’s basically a stabilizer
Proxy in soft neutron is very straight but quickly becomes understandable.
I understand that its difficult to have each of these in the ideal plastics but its disingenuous to use Eclipse Glow 2.0 for these comparisons. My Neutron & Plasma Proxies are laser straight when new and beat into hyzer flip arrows that go well with my natural slight hyzer release. The most controllable disc I own. I have the Watt & Glitch but the Proxy is more versatile imo
Shield is my go-to for straight shots
pure, warden, keystone, p1, p2, yeti, classic aviar, classic roc, challenger ss, fierce, focus, swan 2. a lot of the molds i mentioned are pretty dang old and i know im missing some.
I have to say I'm super surprised of your results. With the mint disc bullet, it flies like a straight arrow in. Sits down like a helicopter when I throw it.
I think I would love for you to do a disc is in the details for setting up a proper bag.
Westside Maiden BT Medium and/or Gateway Chief (not Chief OS).
I randomly grabbed a Sensei in 2020 off the shelf. Immediately I liked. Haven't looked back since, it's super dependable in Active Premium. Senseis don't really care about headwind, which I love. They just slow down, but they don't flip. Dependability!
I also have a Glitch, and it's so fun. But compared to the Sensei, it's so flukey and vulnerable to wind.
My xt nova has been my strait putter for years
Really great video! Would have loved to see some Latitude 64 putters in there. I bag an Opto Pure for the dead straight shot. So many putters and plastics out there tho….this video could easily be 4 hours long 😂 Nice job and great info!
It's easy for a company to claim their putter is the "most popular of all time", since those sales figures have been compiled over the longest period of time, much longer than any other putter on the market today. Calling the Aviar the most popular is meaningless, misleading, and just marketing spin.
My heavily beat in berg is my straightest disc.
Has nobody thrown the xt Nova?! It’s preposterous not to have included it in this…
Sensei is a phenomenal straight putter too though!
Recommend listing the weights as well! I think a few grams can make a pretty big difference in terms of stability, especially when throwing putters hard. That being said, the top picks look really good. I personally have a Penny Putter in glow plastic at 173g that I use for putting and all kinds of upshots, but I don't have a dedicated "throwing putter", yet...
Penny Glow definitely a straight I bag it as well I did buy a Sen though after watching this vid why not it’s cheap lol
Let me get a watt watt!!
My favorite straight throwing putter is definitely the watt.
Watt im saying is throw the glitch in the ditch and get a watt!
I never thought the glitch was a straight flyer more like -1/0 and I haven't touched it since I got my watt.
Also good color on that watt because it's the same color as mine lol.
I'll see myself out now😅
I'm surprised you guys didn't do a glitch in our two plastic. I think they called the Glish
How far did you throw the furthest straight mids? I’d be interested to hear the distance difference between them and the Watt. For me I have just 5-10 meters between Watt and Hex.
My favorite is the Latitude 64 Keystone. Beat in opto has that beautiful flip to flat straight flight, my opto-x flies straight out of the hand. A beat medium was my first real turn over disc.
U missed the rhyno and 3 variant the pig and the nova and the dart from Innova and the pilot from streamline discs and u missed all the discraft discs as well as the aviar 3 and x3 variant
Interesting, my glow Sensei was pretty overstable and uncomfortable to throw, i didn't like it at all.
The Latitude64 Pure however, now that's as straight as an arrow.
Pure forsure.
Those release angles didn’t look to be perfectly consistent. I would have liked a freeze from or some kind of indicator to show what the release angle is for each throw.
Exactly. Just cause an under stable putter flips up to flat on a hyzer release doesn’t make it a “straight flying putter”
I bag a Glitch. I also have a Sensei from a tournament that I was in this summer. Might have give it a rip and see if it flies straight for me.
This is a difficult category as putters often become understable as they break in. I feel the Luna is the straightest although it is a bit understable so needs a slight hyzer flip
Got a Watt on the hype and realized it just wanted to fly like the opto keystone...
Right now Im working thru throwing putters. Inner Core, Spin, Agent. Im in my 2nd full round throwing each of them off the tee and the Inner Core has won both rounds. I'll probably do like 10 rounds and take the winner. Inner Core and Spin though have an advantage cause im playing a pitch and putt course designed for righty beginners and Im a lefty so slight understable is working great. Maybe I should incorporate a different course as well. 🤔
Not using base plastic versions of these makes the results and comparisons less effective.
I use a Reko as my straight throwing putter, but in K1 Soft instead of K1 Line. I'm having trouble trying to find a disc that flys straight and then fades but this video gave me a couple of new options to try. Thanks!
Streamline Pilot!
I love a good Narwhal. The UV one is what I use for a guaranteed right moving flight without burning over and rolling!
Maiden
I like the gold line pure off the shelf or the opto pure beat in!
Throws were off for each throw so its hard to get accurate readings. Also no pilot?
The innova dart is super straight for me
Me too. Well it will hold whatever line I happen to release it on. If I manage to throw it flat it will laser. Goes pretty far too. If I take the “one disc only” challenge, it’s always the Dart.
Maiden, pure, polecat?
Where’s the Pure??
Some straight putters I've thrown RPM glow Ruru, RPM atomic Takapu, lastly RPM atomic Tui for slower arms and is less flippy in cosmic or glow
I've also found some mildly under stable putters in lighter weights that if you have enough arm speed you basically cancel out the negative turn. Same for light weight drivers too
Ohm is my straight flying putter
Streamline Pilot
No Invader? ☹
Hey Greg You need to try the LOFT Hydrogen Beta Solid I believe it was made before the Glitch I feel MVP took Lofts idea & improved it just my opinion 🤷♂️
So I have 2 strait putters in my bag since my last comment and it's the dd warden in the classic plastic and the westside discs bt medium maiden ( trilogy challenge 2024 disc)
Maybe you guys are over throwing, cause you never include the Pure. I understood it for the longest putter cause I can only get it to fly about 210 ft, but very straight. I helped a guy a week ago learn to throw and he was throwing the Pure straight also but much shorter. Is it left out because you don't have it in stock or are you not getting it to fly straight? Little confused by this.
Sensei has been my putting putter for awhile now.
It's shallow so works great for me.
My small hands just hate deep putters.
My glitch is my favorite disc
Everybody that has both Trash Panda Inner Cores knows the premium plastic is more stable at least after 3 throws.
Idk if i really bag a “straight” putter, i have a slightly understable shaman and a slightly overstable pa-3, both of which i can get to fly straight if i have to
I've been throwing pures for a long time for straight shots. I once threw one about 600 feet on a rope at whistlers bend top of the world. I think it's 150 to 200 feet drop in elevation. It never moved off the line, pretty dang straight
The straight flight of the disc is really just objective not set. A 200 foot thrower has a different flight pattern then a 300 and even 400 foot arm thrower. What is straight for you not straight for someone else.
So no Pa-3 4 or 5
Surprised the Glitch is #5! It’s my straightest putter, but it’s a little too large for my hand. I like the Dart because it fits my grip better. I’ll try a Sensei at a store and see how it feels.
flawed study....the only fair comparison would be to find equal weighted putters.
Can you add the Axiom Pitch to that now? Also the Discmania Spore and if you can get ahold of one the Innova Polecat.
I once threw a brand new proton atom 300feet along an ob line, hit ob stick straight on and rolled ob. Definitely a putter to throw hard.
I think putters get overestimated in terms of consistency. Each mold has stable and understable runs.
bagging the soft logic is my straight putter. Awesome video thank you:]>
Did u forget Clash Discs POPCORN and all Lat64 putters??
Have 4 zero medium pures, flyes straight as arrows with my noodle arm.
"it was a little more overstable."
Me: No shit, it is rated at 3 fade....
Prodigy PA-3’s are super straight in 300 plastic.
The sensei is overstable to everyone except the guy throwing in the video lol
I use pa3 putters theyre nice, i dont like how they feel but they fly well
beat in 175G electron firm envy
Westside Maiden (retro burst) & Innova Invader (star)
Best disc channel! Shout out Birdogie tho!
I'm an Aviar thrower. For the longest time I threw my putting putter (sub-100' distances) which is a DX Classic Aviar or Aviar P&A, and eventually an R-Pro Aviar. Now I tend to alternate between the Aviar3 and Animal as my straight flying putter, but don't limit my distances to just short upshots with them. I'll drive them off some tees.
Where is the most popular discmania putter?
From a noodle arm the Keystone is very straight
No Halo Polecat? Shame. It would been top 5 for sure. It's straight disc of choice for anything up to '240 ft.
Think that one can be excused since they're not the easiest to find
Where's the Discmania Spore?
Flex2 P1 Lazer straight
Why did he not throw all flat? Inner core premium is great, didn’t like base plastic. Envy is hard to beat although Eclipse is usually more OS.. The Doomsday Bleak is awesome. The Kc pro aviar or nexus aviar is one of the 3 top throwing putters if not number 1 for being straight and dead center. Why in the heck was it not in the line up or the Fierce or Luna?!
The problem with this is your using all over various molds and putters and acting like that’s all the models do. They don’t.
Especially in Innova, Discmania, Discraft.
Please do all brands in base, mid, and premium plastics then compare them then find the straightest. That would make more sense.
speaking of flight numbers not mattering... the yellow DGA Blunt Gumputt, rated as 2,2,0,2 seems to fly more like 4,6,0,1. Every one I've bought (I own 10) flies dead straight even with max power and glides for days. You're missing out if you don't try this one out for straight flight. Since I fan grip it, when things get wet I power grip the Watt for a similar flight. It looks like it's hovering in one spot when I throw it as it keeps pushing forward.
Magnet needs to be used for this
My Streamline Pilot in base plastic has been my straight putter for 2 years until I found the Watt in premium plastic recently. I threw my 9 speed Escape on a downhill drive and it went around 375 feet. My Watt went straight as a laser for 340 😮😂. Watt is amazing
no pa3, p2 or popcorn?
I see all the "you missed" comments, but you missed the Innova Yeti Pro
Also, a beat in DGA Breaker is surprisingly strait, especially when thrown fully hard, and is my choice in a tunnel over 225.
I've wondered if flight numbers were more like the average numbers. If you had 100 of them and threw them all there would be some under and over-stable but would average out to that number and some molds would have more deviation than others. For example Thoughtspace pathfinders seem to have very little deviation from their numbers but Innova Shrykes range greatly.
The guard is very straight
So which one of the top 5 went the farthest?
I need all the distance i can get but strait.
I would say the Watt was probably the furthest, it is heavier than the glitch and more torque resistant so you can really mash it and it can carry.
A couple of months ago I was playing a round with my friends when I spotted a disc just lying in plain sight on the middle of the fairway. Quite unusual. It was marked with a name and a number so I rang up the owner and he said “Meh, just keep it!”. It’s an amazing putter! My friend is using it currently as I’m working with the Takapu I got from Six Sided mystery pack, they seem to fly very simillarly. Oh and happy holidays!
Lots of people throw and love the Sensei here in Finland. It's a gem among the all the dodgy MIC plastic. Would've been nice to see the Fission putters in this comparison, 150 class Envy really blew my mind when I threw it the first time.
I throw Berg and Fission Envy for my straight shots. In a hyzerflip test like yours they would come across as overstable, but both go on a rope when thrown hard and flat. Watt's beefier brother Ohm is the same, always holds a hyzer but rides a flat shot with a super late fade. My favourite Innova throwing putter Star Dart is also very similar but with more glide.
The way you throw these discs determines a lot about their flight. You are torqueing into the discs on hyzer angle and trying to flip them all up. This causes a lot of straighter discs to appear "overstable".
I can't throw the glitch to save my life. It just goes straight to the ground as a roller or flip flops 100 feet to the right
I bag 3 of the discs you tested and 2 of them were in your top 5. I putt with 2 EXO Soft Logics inside the circle. I putt with the Lux-Vaper Logic in circle 2. I putt with the Watt from the edge of circle 2 till around 85 feet. After 85 feet till around 150 I'm throwing either the Lux-Vaper Logic or Watt depending on distance and elevation.
