Rune

Viking Rune Flight Chart

The Viking Rune is a low-profile, beaded putt and approach disc with flight numbers of 2 | 4 | 0 | 0. It’s designed for a dead-straight flight path with minimal fade, making it a point-and-shoot option for putting and short approaches. With a comfortable shallow feel and dependable neutrality, the Rune has become a favorite for players who want a putter that holds the line you put it on—whether that’s straight, hyzer, or anhyzer.

Straight Rune Flight Path for Newer Players

For newer players, the Rune is a very forgiving putter. Inside the circle, it tracks straight with very little finish, which helps build confidence on line-hitting. On gentle approaches, beginners will see a neutral flight that doesn’t dive hard left (RHBH) at the end. The beaded rim adds a bit of stability without making the disc feel overstable, giving newer throwers a clean introduction to a straight flying putter with enough glide to cover short approach distances.

Rune Flight Numbers in the Hands of Intermediate Golfers

Intermediate players will notice how closely the Rune’s flight path matches its rated numbers. With typical putting power, it flies straight and sits softly, making it excellent for both spin and push putting styles. On approach shots, the 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 profile means you can release it flat and expect it to hold that line with almost no lateral movement at the end. It’s also a great choice for gentle hyzers or soft anhyzers that need to stay on angle rather than flexing out.

Advanced Players: Shaping Lines with the Rune

Advanced players often lean on the Rune as a throwing putter. With more power, it will still stay neutral for a long portion of the flight, holding tight tunnels and straight fairway lines without surprise fade. Hyzer releases produce smooth, controlled hyzer flights; anhyzer releases tend to hold the turn without fighting back too hard, which is ideal for touchy woods lines. The Rune’s straight finish lets advanced players aim directly at their landing zones instead of planning for a big dump at the end.

Forehand Approaches and Utility Shots with the Rune

While it’s not an overstable forehand workhorse, the Rune’s low profile and bead make it comfortable for short forehand approaches. At modest power, forehand shots will fly straight with only a hint of finish, making it useful for upshots where you need a clean release and minimal ground skip. It also works well for standstill flicks, patent-pending approaches, and scramble shots where you want the disc to hold your release angle and sit down quickly.

Try the Viking Rune

If you’re searching for a laser-straight putter that also shines on approach shots, the Viking Rune is a strong candidate. Its neutral flight path, comfortable shallow feel, and beaded rim make it versatile enough for putting, driving, and line-hitting in the woods without demanding a full rebuild of your putting form.

Puttheads Notes

The Rune fits squarely into the “straight, workhorse putter” slot. The low profile and bead give it a unique feel compared to deeper putters, and the neutral flight path is excellent for point-and-shoot putting and approach work. It’s especially nice if you want one mold that you can both putt with and comfortably throw off the tee.
