Ponderosa

Above Ground Level Ponderosa Flight Chart

The Above Ground Level (AGL) Ponderosa is an extremely understable putt-and-approach disc with flight numbers of 3 | 4 | -3 | 0. Designed for easy turn and plenty of glide, the Ponderosa caters to beginners who want straight, effortless distance and to experienced players who need a touchy turnover or hyzer-flip tool. Most reviewers describe it as one of the flippiest putter molds available, making its flight path highly speed- and angle-dependent.

Ponderosa Flight Path for Newer Players

For beginners, the Ponderosa offers a very forgiving flight path. With light power and a smooth release, it tends to drift gently right (for right-hand backhand players) instead of hyzering out and dumping early. The combination of high turn and no fade helps newer throwers get straighter, longer putter shots without needing a fast arm. However, because it is so understable, beginners should focus on clean release angles to avoid accidental early turn-and-burn on full-power throws.

Flight Chart Insights for Intermediate Throwers

Intermediate players will see the Ponderosa behave as a true hyzer-flip and turnover specialist. Thrown on a soft hyzer at moderate speed, it flips up to flat, rides a long, drifting line, and gently pans right with almost no fade at the end. Many reviewers highlight how easy it is to shape touch lines in the woods, especially on low-power approach shots where you want glide but don’t want the disc to fight back to hyzer. In these hands, the Ponderosa’s flight chart shows strong negative turn and a flat finish, rather than any kind of hook.

Flight Numbers in the Hands of Advanced Golfers

Advanced players will often overpower the Ponderosa if they treat it like a traditional throwing putter. With full power, the flight numbers play out as a quick, early flip into a long, committed turnover that never comes back. Because of that, experienced golfers usually bag the Ponderosa as a specialty disc: long, slow turning shots, standstill touch lines in the woods, or finesse approaches where a neutral or overstable putter would fade too early. It excels when power is dialed back and angle control is the priority.

Understable Flight Path for Touch Forehand Shots

Forehand use with the Ponderosa is very situational. For most players, the high turn rating means a firm forehand will flip hard and risk turning into the ground. But for gentle, touch forehand approaches, some reviewers note that the disc can be coaxed into smooth, drifting lines when thrown with minimal spin and nose-down control. If you primarily rely on forehand power, the Ponderosa is more of a creative utility disc than a primary approach option.

Putthead Notes

From a data-backed perspective, the Ponderosa sits at the extreme understable end of putters and approach discs. Reviewer flight numbers consistently show heavy negative turn and almost zero fade, which matches the intended design as a beginner-friendly straight flyer and a finesse turnover tool for experienced players. If you need a putter that behaves more like a gentle midrange turnover disc than a traditional stable putter, the Ponderosa’s flight chart and flight path make it a standout option.
