The AGL Baobab is a very overstable utility putter and the strangest set of numbers in the AGL bag: glide 0 (you read that right), turn +1, fade 3. A positive turn rating alongside a three fade is close to unheard of, and AGL’s own description does not oversell it — the disc does not like to fly, and when it does, it likes to fade hard. The mould carries a top bead and a flat top, which makes it sit comfortably for both backhand and forehand.
That is the whole use case: headwind hyzers, forced fades, and forehand rollers, where players have taken to calling the Alpine version the Bao-Bowler. It is not a putting-line disc. It is also the only African tree in a lineup dominated by West Coast conifers, and it was approved on the same day in April 2020 as the Ponderosa — the most overstable and the flippiest putters AGL makes share a birthday.
How much the Baobab turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
