Hoi,
I've started to disc golf last winter with a D-Line P2 as my putter (because Simon putts with it and he's good and I thought, if I don't know what to do then imitate the pros and see how that goes ...). Well, I've putted all year with the P2s. I do like the plastic very much. Putting was okay as well, but I had nothing to compare it to.
The thing is, during the last months I realized that the P2s are too deep for me to drive with them. It's all wobble and horrible. I used my Comet for all upshots, thus it was no big thing. Now I gave an Opto Pure a go, and can drive with it really well. (That's why I think it's the depth.)
I like to carry few discs, but now I carry two P2s and a Pure, which somehow hurts my feelings. ;-) Anyway, I thought I could just switch to putting with the Pure. Thus I ordered a Zero Hard Pure and used P2s and Pures in my putting practice: There wasn't much of a difference. Consequently, I'd like to switch to Pures and see how that develops. The Opto Pure is great to drive with but it's the wrong plastic for putting. The Zero Hard, unfortunately, is too stiff and too slicky for my taste. (I usually order on Web shops.) Now I wonder if Zero Medium or Zero Soft would be more what I search or if those won't suite me neither.
Z FLX type of plastic is too gummy. I prefer stiffer plastic, or let's say, pretty average stiffness, like the D-Line, DX or Star I have. I do like the kinda waxy feel of the D-Line. What do I have to expect from Zero Medium and Zero Soft, or Retro?
Btw:
I read that P1s or Aviars are more shallow too. I don't want to try so many discs, and I'd appreciate if my bag is distributed over several brands, but if the L64 plastics wouldn't fit my taste, I might go for those molds. (Please don't suggest further molds; it is unlikely that I'll try them.)
Maybe useful to know: I bag a Comet and a Zone as midranges. I can putt with the Zone on windy days.
And concerning my putting technique, if that matters: I can't really say much, as I'm in an experimentation state currently. Often it's push with low spin, which I want to avoid. Sometimes I straddle, sometimes not. I've tried pure spin but fear long comebackers on misses. It's all in flux, currently.
