Benny | Lone Star Disc · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Benny" by Lone Star Disc bridges the gap between a versatile approach putter and a reliable mid-range tee disc. With a speed of 3, it’s designed for controlled throws up to around 75 meters, while its glide of 4 ensures noticeably longer flight phases compared to classic putting putters. The subtle inner rim bead promotes a clean release without compromising grip. The Founders and Alpha Glow plastics, in particular, provide a tacky surface that offers secure hold even for forehand throws. As a throwing putter, the "Benny" covers everything from precise approaches to powerful drives without flipping into uncontrollable turnover lines. In flight, the disc exhibits a stable trajectory with a moderate fade of 2, ensuring reliable landing positions. A turn of 0 translates to an overstable characteristic in practice, keeping the disc on its intended line even at higher arm speeds. Forehand throws benefit from this torque resistance—the disc holds up against unwanted turn and won’t veer right unexpectedly. The pronounced glide extends the flight phase noticeably, allowing for flat lines that transition late into the fade. Compared to the "Penny" from the same brand, the "Benny" offers a touch more stability while maintaining similar flight comfort. For hyzer lines, this disc is a dependable choice, while slight anhyzer angles produce straight flights with a gentle finish. Forehand players appreciate the combination of stability and glide for precise approach shots under 60 meters. Backhand throws benefit from its control at full power—the "Benny" remains predictable even on strong releases. Beginners will find its flight characteristics beginner-friendly, making it an ideal introduction to throwing putters, while advanced players can rely on it for demanding approaches and tee shots on shorter holes.
