I'm looking to add a putter, presumably understable, for short, but hard right turns. The course I play on most has a lot of trees. I regularly find myself with a 30-60 foot putt with a tree in front of me, needing to go to its left, and sometimes forehands are impractical. So what can I throw low power, turns right, lands flat instead of rolling, and won't blow by the basket

Slower and shallower is better for my purposes. I'm thinking something with little high speed stability but maybe some low speed stability.

Suggestions?
 
Hard to find a disc like this.
Have you tried a magic/PA4? Season it up and it should work.
Lid style discs like a rattler, sonic, polecat can do some neat turn over lines as well.
 
A beat in Latitude 64 Zero Hard Pure works for me.

Out of the box if you can stand the shallow rim is a Star Wedge. I used one for quite some time and it is so easy to get it to flip or just throw easy anhyzers.
 
Latitude64 Ruby. I have given serious thought to add one to my bag just for the shot you're describing. Plus, you can throw a spin putt type throw kinda high and watch them go straight forever and glide like crazy. Super fun discs.
 
Wedge. Whether it's in dx or star. It's slow, shallow, and all it wants to do is turn right.

It's 3.5/3/-3/1

I used to use a wedge for that shot. Then I started running a Dart on anhyzer. Now I use a soft MVP Ion or a Roc. Once you can throw a smooth anhyzer upshot many discs will do the route.
 
It's hard (perhaps impossible) to get a developed turn-hard-then-land-flat flight pattern over 60'. More like, "turn then please don't cutroll too bad." For the flat landing, anhyzer a stable disc and the light fade will flatten you out. I'd say work on your anhyzer angle for these shots, aim left, add a little height and you'll land flat by the basket w/o needing another mold. I just use a beat wizard for these shots. And if I really need zero fade, I'll do a more of a frisbee toss with my trashed *Stingray so it has plenty of spin but maybe 5% power. It covers that shot but has a bunch of other uses as well. I don't recommend carrying one-shot-wonders.

That said, beat Pures are great.
