Description
The Discmania Horizon S-Line Drop putter is Niklas Anttila's Creator Series approach putter, molded in Horizon S-Line plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on precise approaches that land where you aim. This listing is the Niklas Anttila Creator Series release of the Drop. Niklas Anttila is Europe's #1 disc golfer and the first Finnish player ever to win an MPO major title.
Horizon S-Line Plastic
Horizon is an S-Line combo with two strikingly different color variations, carefully matched inside and out. S-Line offers excellent grip in all weather conditions with great durability. It ages well, so your disc doesn't change drastically in flight after a few run-ins with trees.
The Mold
The Drop is Niklas Anttila's contribution to the Discmania Creator Series: a straight-to-overstable approach putter built around precision and trust. It sits on the overstable side of straight, resists turning at any reasonable speed, carries forward with purpose, and finishes without surprises.
Stability
The Drop 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.
