[Putters] OS Driving Putters

VIP Harps tend to be a little more glidey than their BT counterparts. I drive with a beat BT Soft Harp (which is always in my bag) and I find it to be nice and controllable for shorter upshots, but can also be stretched out for longer drives. BT Hard will beat into that sweet spot a bit faster due to the harder plastic. Also has a lower profile that should feel similar to your Pure's in the hand.
 
If your looking for something like the Rhyno without the thumbtrack give the Chief OS a try, if you don't mind it, maybe pick up a DevilHawk.
 
I will throw in another vote for the Westside Harp. I throw a BT Hard off the tee and it works great for me. Very reliable disc and comfortable in my hand. You can really crank on it as hard as you want, and it will go straight with a strong fade at the end. Not a super-long disc, but it does its job well.
 
Got a Vibram vp in a birdie bash a couple months ago and felt like it flies almost exactly the same as a rhyno. Maybe a touch glidier but with that same drop and stop precision that I love about the rhyno.
 
I use an Envy as my slightly overstable compliment to my Pures. Feels similar to Pure, releases nicely and is the right amount of overstable for my needs.
 
I throw Rhynos and have for as long as I've been playing, I would recommend an ESP Zone but it will be a touch beefier. As far as thumbtrac goes, I love it but I also never had a problem gripping an ESP Zone as they are board flat and feel great in the hand.

If the Rhyno disappeared from the planet I would go straight to a Zone.

VPs are great OS drivers. I've had my medium for a year, it's still a glideless and overstable :thmbup: That being said, I wouldn't mind trying a scale of they were made in lower weights
 
I'm bagging the Scale for this slot right now. Sweet disc! The thumbtrack doesn't bother me, but then again neither does the Rhyno or Pig thumbtrack; it is a different feel from those, though.

IME the VP is most OS putter with the least glide I've used (and no thumbtrack). Definitely worth a shot. A Premium Jokeri is nice, but is a bit faster, about like a Pig, and not as OS as a VP or Scale (might be a good one if you're not looking for extreme OS).

On the plus side, lots of good choices out there. Nothing wrong with whichever ones you can get your hands on!

I carry three driving putters, a cryztal flx zone for most drives, a bt soft harp for up shots I want to stick, I've thrown a vip harp and I find the zone easier to power down and anny flex and I feel like it has a lot of glide compared to the harp, and an opto pure, stand still inside 200' it holds any line you put it on
 
I currently use an Opto Pure and a Champ Rhyno for driving. Looking for feedback on good OS driving putters in strong plastic. My Rhyno is dark purple and I don't know how I feel about the thumb track on it. Just wanted to get some input on replacements. Currently putting these out around 200-250

I hear good things about the Envy.

If anyone can provide comparisons against the Rhyno in terms of flight I'd appreciate it.

The Envy is a great OS putter and my go to for this slot. Its faster than a Rhyno and a bit more fade, but a surprising amount of glide all things considered.

The RDG Scale is more OS than the Envy, with less glide. Fights out of an anny release a bit harder, etc.

Crosslap Credo is more overstable than either. This is the one you eant if you want the most OS pytter, one that laughs at any headwind and can take full power forehand drives off the tee with bad form no problem.
