Parachute | Streamline Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Parachute" by Streamline Discs operates with Speed 1 and Glide 7 as an approach-putter hybrid, standing out from traditional putters with its exceptional hang time. With minimal stability ratings (Turn 0, Fade 0.5), it bridges the gap between straight throws and controlled landings in close-range scenarios. This disc excels in slow, high approaches where maximum flight time over short distances is key, while also enabling putts from greater ranges than conventional putters. Available in Proton SL and Soft Neutron SL, it caters to diverse grip preferences. In flight, the "Parachute" exhibits significantly less stability than its numbers suggest. While the technical data points to near-neutral behavior, it reveals a noticeably understable tendency during throws—turning over earlier than comparable 0/0 or 0/1 putters. The high Glide rating of 7 ensures extended float phases, particularly noticeable at lower speeds. Compared to the "Glitch" from the same brand, it offers more torque resistance, making it suitable for stronger throws, yet remains far more turnover-prone than classic stable approach discs. Flight paths demand precise release angles, as even moderate anhyzer releases can lead to pronounced turnover lines. For beginners, the "Parachute" provides an accessible tool for controlled approach shots without the overstability that often causes early fade in low-power throws. The disc reacts sensitively to release angles, teaching clean form, while its extreme glide forgives speed control mistakes. Advanced players leverage its understable tendency for precise anhyzer approaches and turnover putts from mid-range. Particularly on tight fairways with low ceilings, the combination of low speed and extended hang time shines.
