AGL
SKU: DG-AGL-ALP-MDR (REF1718-1)
Description
The AGL Alpine Madrone putter is AGL's straight-flying, micro-bead putt and approach disc, molded in Alpine plastic. It's built for players who want a putter they can also drive with, and it's at its best on putts, approaches, and full-power putter drives. Made in the USA by family-owned AGL, the Madrone is ready to take your game Above Ground Level.
Alpine Plastic
Alpine is AGL's premium plastic and their most-used blend. Like all AGL plastics, it's made with recycled and regrind material, so it cuts down on waste while flying just as well. Original Alpine was made at Gateway and could come out clear or opaque depending on the mix. AGL's newer Alpine runs are made by Innova with 20-40% regrind from Innova's Champion plastic, and AGL calls it extremely durable with incredible longevity. AGL also notes Alpine discs can come out with a little more dome than Woodland runs, which can add glide.
About AGL Discs
AGL, short for Above Ground Level, is a family-owned disc golf company run by the Jones family and Northern California's #1 disc golf manufacturer. All AGL discs are made in the USA, and AGL is committed to discs that are more durable than the competition so they keep a proper flight path for a longer lifespan. Every mold is named after a tree as part of AGL's "Treeline" theme, and AGL's plastics use recycled and regrind material to minimize waste while flying just as well.
The Mold
The Madrone has a micro-bead and a shallow thumb track that make it comfortable in the hand, with a smooth flight and a subtle finish. It's torque resistant and can handle full power off the tee for those shots where you need a putter, and it's become a staple in a lot of bags.
Stability
The Madrone is neutral-to-stable. Neutral discs fly straight and true with very little turn or fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with only a slight drift left as it slows down. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with a gentle drift right at the finish. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's an easy choice for beginners and a reliable tool for experienced players.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 3 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
