Above Ground Level Baobab Flight Chart
The Above Ground Level (AGL) Baobab is one of the most overstable putt-and-approach discs on the market, designed for extreme reliability and consistency in difficult conditions. With manufacturer flight numbers of 4 | 0 | 1 | 3, the Baobab delivers a no-glide, hard-hook finish that makes it a true utility tool for skip shots, forehand approaches, dump-hyzers, and wind-fighting lines. Its flat top, beaded underside, and premium plastic options give players a comfortable and torque-resistant feel, making it popular among intermediate and advanced golfers who rely on controlled, predictable fades.
Baobab Flight Characteristics for Newer Players
For beginners, the Baobab will feel extremely overstable. Its minimal glide means it will get to the ground very quickly, often before reaching intended distance. However, newer players who need a disc that will never overturn will appreciate how confidently the Baobab battles wind and finishes with dependable fade. It is not recommended as a primary putter or neutral approach disc for beginners, but it can serve well as a “get out of trouble” utility option.
Flight Chart Insights for Intermediate Throwers
Players with some experience will begin to unlock the Baobab’s value. Intermediate throwers can use it for short-range hyzers, forced-fade upshots, or tight technical lines where glide would cause an overthrow. Its torque resistance allows strong forehand flicks without turning over. Many reviewers noted how useful the Baobab is for approaches under 200 feet, especially when accuracy is critical.
Advanced Player Flight Numbers & Utility Applications
Advanced players often use the Baobab as a specialized tool. Its overstability, combined with a flat profile, makes it ideal for aggressive skip shots, high-power hyzer approaches, and short forehand rollers. Throwers who can apply significant power will observe a straight initial push before the disc immediately dumps into its characteristic hard fade. This category of player often carries the Baobab for windy days or wooded courses where shot-shaping demands tight control.
Forehand Control and Specialty Shot Performance
Forehand throwers commonly praise the Baobab. The disc’s stiffness and low glide keep flicks on a predictable line, and it resists wobble better than many putt-and-approach molds. In premium plastics, strong-armed players also report that the Baobab can perform controlled forehand rollers thanks to its aggressive stability and dependable roll-angle transition.

Putthead Notes
The Baobab stands out as a purpose-built utility disc rather than a general-use approach option. If you want a mold that absolutely refuses to turn and specializes in skipping, dumping, or holding torque, this is one of the most reliable overstables in the category. Its lack of glide isn’t a flaw—it’s the very thing that makes the Baobab so uniquely effective.
