Prickly Pear | Lone Star Disc · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Prickly Pear" by Lone Star Disc serves as a versatile putter for approach shots and controlled mid-range approaches. With a speed of 3, it fits into the classic putter category and is suitable for both precise upshots and putting itself. The bead on the inner rim provides a defined grip and ensures a clean release without complicating handling. In flight, the disc's glide rating of 3 delivers moderate float, offering enough distance for approach shots while remaining controllable. A turn of -1 allows for a slight right drift on backhand throws with a flat release or moderate throwing speed, while a fade of 1 ensures a gentle, predictable finish. The stable baseline prevents excessive turn and keeps the disc on its intended line, even in windy conditions. For straight approaches and slight anhyzer lines, the "Prickly Pear" delivers reliable results—neither overly stable nor prone to flipping uncontrollably to the right. Forehand throws benefit from its moderate stability, maintaining smooth flight even at flatter angles. This disc is ideal for beginners seeking a dependable putter for various situations, but it also works as a precise tool for experienced players who prefer controlled approach shots without aggressive flight movements.
