Splinter
The "Splinter" by Obsidian Discs functions as an overstable putter for approach shots and situations requiring precise control in windy conditions. With a speed of 3, it maintains typical putter tempo, while the low glide of 2 ensures a flat, penetrating flight path without uncontrolled float. The high fade of 3.5 sets it apart from standard putters, aligning it more closely with utility discs like the Innova Rhyno or Westside Harp. For mid-range approaches and headwinds, it delivers reliable stability. In flight, the disc shows minimal turn, with a rating of 0 keeping it on a straight line even at high arm speeds. The pronounced fade kicks in early, pulling the disc sharply left, favoring shorter flight phases and steep landings. This combination of low glide and strong fade enables precise distance control, particularly for approach shots between 30 and 60 meters. On hyzer throws, the fade intensifies further, while on anhyzer releases, the disc fights the turnover and reliably fades back. Forehand throws benefit from the overstability, as the disc absorbs torque and exits cleanly. Backhand players can use it for skip shots or low lines under branches, where the flat glide proves advantageous. The recommendation for skill level 0 indicates beginners can confidently use this disc as a safe approach putter without fearing unexpected turnovers. Advanced players appreciate it as a dependable tool for technical lines and wind scenarios.
