Koi | Elevation Disc Golf · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Koi" by Elevation Disc Golf fills a unique niche as a speed 3 putter for players who prioritize safety and controlled landings. Its flexible OG and ecoFLEX material significantly dampens impact, making the disc ideal for tricky positions around the basket—steep slopes or hard surfaces become less intimidating. With a glide of 4, it carries surprisingly far for a putter of this design but demands clean technique: sloppy releases are amplified by the soft structure, posing challenges for beginners. It shines on approach shots between 25 and 50 meters where precision outweighs distance. In flight, the "Koi" holds straight lines reliably before a gentle -1 turn allows for smooth turnovers. The lack of fade ensures it lands on shallow angles and stays put—rarely rolling away. This makes it the perfect choice for death putts or sloped greens where every extra meter toward a drop-off could be disastrous. On straight lines up to about 50 meters, the flight remains stable, while slight anhyzer angles produce controlled right turns (RHBH). However, the soft construction requires adjustment: too much spin or power leads to unpredictable behavior. For advanced players, the "Koi" becomes a tactical tool when safety is paramount—such as near water hazards or rollaway risks. Intermediate players appreciate its versatility between putting and short approaches but must invest time in refining their throwing mechanics. Beginners often struggle, as the flexibility mercilessly exposes flaws and complicates distance throws. Those who embrace its quirks gain a reliable partner for risky situations where other putters land unpredictably.
