The disc golf overhand shot, also called a Thumber or Tomahawk, is throwing a disc like a baseball with the disc tipped up on its side. Overhand shots are good for throwing over tall obsticals without the disc fading far to the side. When a disc is thrown overhand it will travel straight upward but as it falls it will begin to turn upside down and move to one side, then it will flip rightside up and move to the other side. The direction it moves will depend on whether you throw a Thumber or Tomahawk which we will cover below. The side to side movement of an overhand shot…

Innova Invader Review
Innova has introduced another low glide putter to its lineup, the Invader. The Invader specializes in approaches by balancing low glide with ease of release. This putter offers a comfortable grip and a confident run at the basket. I don’t feel like making a cheesy disc name pun, so here’s your review. Invader Manufacturer Notes Here’s how Innova describes the Invader: The Invader is one of the best driving and approach putters available. Its flat-top profile features a rounded, small bead rim making it easy to grip-n-rip straight flights. Put torque onto the Invader, it can handle it—backhand and forehand. We’re launching Invader in durable and grippy Luster plastic. Innova…

Discraft Hades Review
We all expected great discs when Paul McBeth signed with Discraft, and the Hades delivers on this promise. The Hades is the fifth disc of McBeth’s series and is a long, easy thrower. It’s not the super overstable disc you might expect from a disc named after the king of the underworld but flipping the Hades on a long drive will sure make you feel powerful.

Above Ground Level Discs Manzanita Review
The Manzanita is a low glide, overstable putter which oozes consistency. Approved in 2018, it was one of the first putters molded by Above Gound Level Discs and has developed a following of dedicated throwers. While naming a disc after a tree feels rather ironic, it does not seem to have any negative affect on the Manzanita’s flight.

Infinite Discs Cohort Review
The Cohort is Infinite Discs’ fourth putter. It is a fast putter with a low-profile and small diameter great for long approach shots. ‘Cohort’ traditionally refers to a small ancient Roman military unit but I’m pretty sure Infinite named this putter for the data analytics understanding: A set of customers grouped by a common characteristic for the purpose of demographic analysis.
