About the P3

P3: Discmania’s overstable putt & approach

The Discmania P3 is an overstable approach putter rated 3/2/0/3. Two glide and three fade is a hard pairing on a putter: it does not float, and it finishes left every time. Discmania built it low and beadless so it releases like a small midrange rather than a deep putter.

That makes it a headwind approach disc and a forced-hyzer tool, the one you throw when a Pure would sail and a P2 would drift. Discmania have since discontinued the beadless P3; the P3x, with a bead and 3/3/0/3 numbers, is the current version. What it will not do is fly straight or far — with two glide it drops early, and with three fade there is no flat line in it. Newer players will find it dumps left before it gets anywhere.

How much the P3 turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
