Disc Writeup - Putt'r Elite  |

Under 300 Feet |
300-400 Feet |
More Than 400 Feet |
| Into Moderate Wind |
Even a little wind will affect this disc and make it turn to the right slightly. It will have a steady turn that is very predictable. |

N/A |
| Into Heavy Wind |
Not the easiest disc to control into a heavy wind. In fact, don't even bother trying it unless you're just goofing off. |
N/A |
N/A |
| Glide |
The Elite Putt'r doesn't have much glide which makes it a great choice for approaches and the "Best Pro Use." |
N/A |
N/A |
| Left Turns |
The Elite Putt'r will hold its line so well that if you start it turning left it should stay there. |

| Right Turns |
Same as the "left turn" characteristic. It is a true stable disc that will do whatever you tell it to (ok, telling it won't help but you know what I mean). |

| Rollers |
This is not the disc for all your short rollers but it is great for one type. When you need to put some speed on the release to get past an obstacle yet want the roller to slow down pretty quick this is about the only disc that will do that. |

| Skip Shots |
Forget about it. |

| Straight Throws |
If you release it flat it will go straight possibly better than any disc made. I love it for this shot! |
N/A |
N/A |
| Upside Down Throws |
It will only really work for upside down throws under 150 feet, but most discs will work ok upside down at this distance. |

| Putting |
Finally we're to the areas for which these discs were made. The Elite Putt'r is a perfect putter for players who prefer a rim not quite as deep as the Z version. The Elite Putt'r's three best characteristics are its tendency to hold its line even when the angle is off a little, it won't blow by as far on misses, and its awesome ability to catch chains on putts that miss their mark by a little. |
| Approaching |
The Elite Putt'r is a great approach disc unless thrown into a heavy headwind. What makes it so good is its slow speed and lack of glide. The reason that slower, non gliding discs work best for approaching is that when you throw them a little too hard or too high they won't make you pay for it by blowing way past the target. |

| Best Beginner Use |
The Elite Putt'r is just that, a putter. Newer players should experiment to find out what works best for them. Of course it makes no sense to try to reinvent the wheel (putting with an Xtreme for example) but any disc listed as a Putter will be a great putter for some players. |
| Best Intermediate Use |
Once a player gets enough arm to throw their putters on shorter drives, they should consider the Elite Putt'r for short, straight holes. Because it won't tail off either way, the Elite Putt'r is a good choice here. |
| Best Pro Use |
This is a disc I've been waiting for. The Elite Putt'r is great for big arms because you can throw it hard yet it won't fly far. This is great if you find that your accuracy is best when you put a little behind the throw. |
| Final Comments |
The Elite Putt'r is a great putter but offers much more. I don't carry many different models in my bag but the Elite Putt'r will be one of them. I'm too stubborn to give up my Magnet as a putter but I will use the Elite Putt'r on shorter drives. |
