Tau | XCOM Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Tau" by XCOM Discs fills a gap as a putter for players seeking a neutral disc with minimal inherent movement. With a speed of 2, it fits the classic putting range and is suitable for both short-range basket approaches and precise approach shots up to about 50 meters. The low speed allows for controlled throws without overpowering, while its slightly understable nature enables gentle adjustments to different release angles. In flight, the Tau exhibits a straight trajectory with a moderate glide of 3, providing enough float for stable flight paths without carrying the disc uncontrollably far. A turn of 0 and fade of 0 define an almost neutral flight: the disc holds its line over the entire distance without drifting right or noticeably fading left at the end. This neutrality makes it predictable and reduces unwanted lateral movement, which could otherwise lead to precision loss, especially when putting. On straight lines to the basket, the Tau remains stable, while slight hyzer or anhyzer angles can be applied without the disc fighting back. Equally usable for both backhand and forehand throws, beginners especially benefit from its forgiveness and predictable behavior. Its suitability for skill level 0 highlights its accessibility—even without throwing experience, players can execute clean, straight putts and short approaches without technical nuances dominating the flight path.
