DGA Disc Golf D-Line Steady Putt and Approach 2/3/0/2 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The DGA D-Line Steady putter is DGA's beaded putter, named for founder "Steady" Ed Headrick, molded in D-Line plastic. It's built for players who want straight throws and consistent putts, and it's at its best on straight throws 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 Steady is a beaded putt and approach disc with a reliable straight flight when thrown with power and a consistent fade when putting. It pays homage to the sport's and DGA's founder, "Steady" Ed Headrick.
Stability
The Steady is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the 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 suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 2 | 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 | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
