Over the past 13 years I’ve changed putters only once. Now with Kastaplast’s release of the Reko putter I’m changing for just the second time. That’s how solid of a putter the Kastaplast Reko is.

Disc Golf Beginnings
“You’ve never heard of disc golf?” asked Matt. “No,” I replied, “What is it?” “It’s like golf but you throw discs into a basket.” “Baskets? What kind of baskets?” “They’re poles with chains on them and a basket at the bottom. Discs are like Frisbees but they’re smaller and heavier and Frisbee is about form but disc golf is all about power.”

Putting With Finger On Rim
During one of my first rounds of disc golf in 2002 I lined up for my first disc golf putt with my index finger on the rim of my Discraft Elite Z Putt’r. My mentor, Matt, immediately corrected me and sternly stated, “Never putt with your finger on the rim!”. Matt never provided a compelling reason against using my index finger to support the putter, he only warned me that that it can cause unbalanced putts and suggested that many people carry this habit over from throwing Ultimate discs or casual Frisbees. So, is it okay to put with your index finger on the rim of your disc golf putter?

Building Your Putter Comfort
Quick Disc Golf Tip: Always keep your putter within arm’s reach. Most disc golfers agree that being comfortable and familiar with your putter is essential for optimal putting performance. If you haven’t built up your putter comfort it’s difficult to know your putter well in order to be consistent. Spending time with your putter is simply the best way to build your putter comfort. On the course is optimal, but we don’t always have time and that’s alright. Keep your putter within reach when you’re not on the course so you can pick it up throughout the day and hold it for a few moments. The repetition with your standard putting grip builds muscle…

Discraft Zone Review
The Discraft Zone putter is one of the most overstable and consistent putters I’ve thrown. It landed a spot in my bag immediately but it took a few weeks to get comfortable with it because it demands power and control for proper use. Once it’s dialed in though, it can quickly become a go-to approach putter that can be used in many situations.

When Infinite discs set us up with a Prodigy PA4 to review I had not looked at the numbers but immediately thought, “Holy cow this feels like my Magic!”

Disc Golf Analysis – Throw Average Stability
A few weeks back I wrote a disc golf analysis article on the Bag Average Stability (BAS) metric. That was a measure of the average stability of all the discs in your bag intended to help you determine if throwing more stable discs overall may increase the consistency of your game. Near the end of the article I made a strong point that calculating your BAS is pointless if you include discs that you never throw. So as a follow up to that article I’m introducing the disc golf metric of Throw Average Stability (TAS).
