by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-RESP-CHL (REF1848-9)
Description
The Discraft Recycled ESP Challenger putter is a classic, firm-finishing putter, molded in Recycled ESP plastic. It's built for putters who love a firm, overstable finish, and it's at its best on putts, upshots, and long putts. If you're shopping for a dependable Challenger for your bag, this Recycled ESP run is a great place to start.
Recycled ESP Plastic
Recycled ESP is Discraft's take on ESP made with recycled material. You get a grippy, durable feel for everyday play while putting reclaimed plastic back on the course.
The Mold
The Challenger has long been a staple for putters who love a firm, overstable finish. It's trusted for putts, upshots, and spin-heavy throws.
Stability
The Challenger 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.
