The Chimp | Gorilla Performance Discs

"The Chimp" by Gorilla Performance Discs serves as a versatile putter for approach shots and controlled mid-range approaches. With a speed of 3, the disc remains easy to handle and can be precisely directed at short to medium distances without requiring excessive speed. Its stable baseline makes it a reliable choice for straight lines and slight adjustments when navigating tight fairway gaps or avoiding obstacles. In flight, it exhibits a balanced behavior: the glide of 3 keeps the disc airborne just long enough without becoming uncontrollable. A turn of -1 allows for a subtle right drift when thrown flat with a backhand, particularly noticeable with clean acceleration. The fade of 1 ensures a gentle leftward movement at the end, keeping the landing zone predictable while preventing excessive rollaways. This combination of moderate turn and mild fade keeps the flight path dependable, making it easier to target pin positions. "The Chimp" excels in approach shots from 30 to 60 meters, reliably handling both straight lines and slight anhyzer angles. For forehand throws, the disc remains stable and resists uncontrolled turnovers, while backhand throws with a flat release can utilize the slight right drift to navigate around trees or obstacles. Recommended for skill level 0 and up, its beginner-friendly design provides clear feedback and low error tolerance, promoting quick learning without frustrating surprises.
