About the Challenger

Challenger: Discraft’s stable putt & approach

The Discraft Challenger is a putter that finishes left. Zero turn with two of fade means the flight is the same every time: no flip, and a firm pull left at the end.

That makes it an approach disc more than a putting disc for most bags. The fade means a hyzer holds exactly the angle it was given, which is what you want on a headwind approach, a forced hyzer inside the circle, or a short forehand that has to stop.

The trade is straight distance. Two speed with three glide does not carry, and the fade means it will not hold a long straight line — anything from range needs the finish built into the aim.

Flies like…

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