Discraft Disc Golf Putter Line Challenger SS Putter 2/3/-1/2 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Discraft Putter Line Challenger SS putter is the super-straight Challenger, molded in Putter Line plastic. It's built for players who want a beadless putter that holds any line, and it's at its best on straight putts and controlled approaches. If you're shopping for a dependable Challenger SS for your bag, this Putter Line run is a great place to start.
Putter Line Plastic
Putter Line is a softer, budget-friendly baseline blend engineered specifically for putters and touch approach shots. It's a grippier, improved take on classic Pro D, giving your Challenger SS great feel in the circle.
The Mold
The Challenger SS is the super-straight variant of the workhorse Challenger. It's beadless with a smooth rim and can be manipulated to hold any line it's thrown on, with a slight finishing fade. Off the tee, it holds flat lasers, gentle turnovers, and soft hyzers without feeling jumpy.
Stability
The Challenger SS is neutral. 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.
