Havu | Exel Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Havu" from Exel Sports bridges the gap between putter and midrange, serving as a versatile workhorse for controlled throws at medium distances. With its low profile and the feel of a putter in hand, it enables precise throws in the 60 to 90-meter range, where control matters more than maximum distance. This disc is especially suited for approach shots that demand a reliable flight path without unexpected movements, performing well both on open fairways and in tight gaps. In the air, the Havu exhibits a remarkably straight flight throughout its entire distance. The pronounced glide ensures a smooth flight phase, keeping the disc on its intended line without early turn or aggressive fade. Only at the end of its flight does a gentle, predictable fade set in, guiding the disc to the landing zone. This characteristic makes it a dependable choice for straight shots where minimal deviation is crucial. Despite the manufacturer's rating of 0/0 for turn and fade, it demonstrates a slightly overstable tendency in practice—subtle enough not to overshadow its straight-flight nature. For beginners, the Havu provides an ideal introduction to the midrange class, as it forgives mistakes and doesn’t require high arm speed. Advanced players appreciate it as a precise tool for situations where a beat-in putter lacks stability, but a typical midrange brings too much fade. The combination of putter-like grip and midrange flight characteristics makes it a reliable choice for both hyzer and anhyzer lines, whether thrown backhand or forehand.
