DGA
SKU: DG-DGA-DL-SON (REF2647-3)
Description
The DGA D-Line Sonar putter is DGA's beaded, consistent-fading putter, molded in D-Line plastic. It's built for players who want a putter they can lean on for upshots, and it's at its best on upshots and putting. DGA has been part of disc golf since the very beginning, founded by the sport's creator, "Steady" Ed Headrick.
D-Line Plastic
D-Line (DL) is the most affordable of DGA's stock blends. It gives up some durability for a significant increase in grip, and discs season quickly to find their sweet spot of stability much faster than premium plastics. It's similar to the old Pro-D from Discraft.
The Mold
The Sonar is a beaded putt and approach disc with a consistent fade when thrown at just about any angle. It gives you confidence you can lean on, over and over, for upshots and putting.
Stability
The Sonar is stable-to-overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
