Ruru | RPM Discs/Disc Golf Aotearoa

The RPM Discs "Ruru" is a versatile putter with a deep profile and a bead on the inner rim for a secure grip. With a speed of 2, it works equally well for putts and controlled approach shots up to medium distances. Its stable baseline flight makes it especially reliable in changing conditions, while the deep dish design ensures comfortable handling. Available in the popular Magma and Atomic plastics, it features grippy surfaces that support precise release points. As an all-around option, it covers both putting and approaches without the need for separate molds. In flight, the Ruru holds a straight path with moderate glide (3) before finishing with a gentle fade (1). Its turn resistance (0) means virtually no unwanted turns on clean releases—even at varying power levels, the flight remains predictable. Push putts fly reliably straight, while spin putts show a slightly overstable tendency. The deep profile creates a floating flight, allowing the disc to land softly rather than skip hard. On powered-up approach shots, it develops a reliably overstable characteristic that handles headwinds and ensures controlled landings. For beginners, the Ruru offers an ideal introduction to putting and throwing thanks to its forgiving stability and secure feel from the bead. Advanced players value it as a precise throwing putter for straight lines and controlled approaches in the 30- to 60-meter range. Even experienced throwers use it for technical shots where reliability matters more than maximum distance. The combination of deep dish and stable flight makes it a solid choice for all skill levels seeking a versatile putter without extreme flight characteristics.
