Ringer GT

Discraft Ringer GT Flight Chart

The Discraft Ringer GT is an overstable putt-and-approach disc with flight numbers around 4 | 4 | 0 | 3. Its low-profile shape and groove-top (GT) thumb track create a very controlled flight path with a reliable finishing fade. Most players use the Ringer GT as a throwing putter or approach disc rather than a primary putting putter, especially when they need a disc that won’t turn over and can handle torque, wind, and forehand power.

Flight Path by Skill Level

Ringer GT Flight Path for Developing Players

For newer players, the Ringer GT will feel quite overstable. The high-speed stability and strong fade mean the disc wants to fly straight for a short distance before dumping out hard to the left for right-handed backhand throws. Beginners will typically use it for short, controlled approaches inside 150 feet, especially when they need the disc to sit near the basket without much skip. It’s not ideal as a first putting putter, but it can be very helpful as a “safety” approach disc where a predictable flight path matters more than raw distance.

Approach Flight Chart Details for Intermediate Players

Intermediate players will see the Ringer GT’s flight path settle in as a workhorse approach tool. Thrown flat with moderate power, it tracks straight with minimal high-speed turn and then finishes on a firm, dependable fade. Many reviewers mention using it as a go-to upshot disc for 150–225 foot throws, especially into a headwind or on touchy shots where a traditional midrange might glide too far. The combination of low glide and strong fade lets players trust the Ringer GT to land near the pin without sailing long.

Flight Numbers in the Hands of Advanced Disc Golfers

Advanced players with clean form can fully lean into the Ringer GT’s speed and fade. When thrown hard and flat, the disc still shows almost no turn before a strong, late fade that matches its posted flight numbers. Power throwers often use it as a driving putter on short, technical holes where they need a low-profile disc that won’t flip, even on torque-heavy releases. On slight anhyzer lines, the Ringer GT tends to fight out reliably, making it a favorite for forced-flex approaches and controlled hyzer shots that must finish on edge near the basket.

Forehand Flight Path & Utility Uses

The groove-top rim and overstable flight characteristics make the Ringer GT especially useful for forehand players. Many golfers report that the thumb track gives extra grip security and confidence on shorter forehand approaches. Thrown sidearm, the disc resists turn and finishes with a solid, predictable fade, which is valuable for shaping low forehand shots under branches or into tricky greens. It also shines as a scramble disc, handling off-angle releases and standstill shots where you need the flight path to be tight, overstable, and repeatable.

Try the Discraft Ringer GT

If you want a low-profile, torque-resistant putt-and-approach disc with a very predictable overstable flight, the Ringer GT is built for those pressure approaches and short drives where you absolutely must control the landing zone.

Puttheads Notes

• Posted flight numbers: roughly 4 speed, 4 glide, 0 turn, 3 fade – a firmly overstable putt-and-approach profile.
• Primary role: throwing putter and approach disc rather than a circle-only putting putter.
• Best uses: headwind approaches, short tee shots that must finish left (RHBH), and touch forehand approaches that still need a strong fade.
• Feel: low-profile with a pronounced groove-top (GT) track; many players love the added thumb reference, while some prefer a smoother top.
• Who will like it: intermediate and advanced players who want an overstable approach disc that is more compact than a midrange but more torque-resistant than a typical straight putter.
• Reviewer themes: consistently praised for reliability, wind-fighting stability, and confident grip; often described as a “point-and-fade” disc for controlled scoring shots.
