Pillar | Goliath Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Pillar" by Goliath Discs serves as an extremely overstable approach putter for distances up to 60 meters. With a speed of 3 and fade of 4, it handles situations where classic approach discs exhibit too much glide or turn. Its primary use lies in precise backhand approaches in windy conditions and tight lines where uncontrolled drift could ruin the shot. The Oasis plastic combines grip with light flexibility, while the Diamond variant offers a firmer feel and even more stability. In flight, the disc consistently resists turn. It holds steep hyzer angles without correction and lands with reliable fade near the target. Despite its low glide rating, the "Pillar" generates slightly more float than expected while maintaining stability. The fade kicks in early, slowing the disc controllably and preventing long skids. This combination of low speed and high torque resistance makes the disc predictable even in strong headwinds. Compared to a Zone or Toro, the "Pillar" delivers even more overstability with lower speed, making it ideal for short distances with maximum control. For backhand throws, the disc performs reliably on approaches under 60 meters where a steep angle of descent or wind resistance is crucial. It remains usable for forehand shots but excels primarily on the backhand side. Intermediate players seeking a dependable utility disc for overstable lines will find the "Pillar" a solid bag addition. Beginners benefit from its predictability but must manage its strong fade. Those familiar with discs like the Berg or Zone will find this an even more stable alternative with reduced glide.
