Why would anyone want a putter more over stable than a zone? Trick shots? 75 MPH head winds? Boomerang action?

BroD said it a few pages back, but poor course design does call for something more OS than a zone.
People said there was no use for a Stiletto but, what if I want to throw a massive flex shot (fh) in 35 mph winds? Then I get out my Stiletto and go to town!
That being said, I'd love a more OS zone. It would be great for carving flex lines inside 150'

haven't thrown one yet, but i'd love to try a z zone, esp tends to get a bit too flippy for me after awhile

i guess i should clarify
by flippy, i mean that sometimes it wants to go straighter than i want, the fade isn't as dependable
i don't mean flippy as in understable turn into a roller
that's why i've basically kicked the zone out of my bag and mainly use an opto trident

Sorry to quote this old post - but I was wondering what mattc meant by puddle top. I would infer it meant concave like a yeti pro aviar.

Disc golf terminology can drive you nuts...
zipper tops, puddle tops, flat tops...
X-wings, L-wings...
I have a 4X JK Pro Valk... damned if it doesn't feel like Champion plastic.
And last but not least, what does "more stable" mean?*
:wall:
I'm just gonna go throw my discs. The ones that land in the fair I'll keep. The ones that don't, I'll trade.

More OS you say?
I shot even par last week.
I haven't found any putters more os than my Zones. My VP fits somewhere around my Breaker or D Zones. Like others have said, puddle top is usually more os. And I too often want something more than a Zone.
I've thrown a couple Premium Jokeris before, and I wouldn't say that either of them was as stable as a Zone. They flew more like a new P2 for me.

Not even the first runs, which are beefier than the production runs, are as overstable as a Zone.

Crosslap Credo is certainly pretty stable. More OS than my 1st run Jokeris and the VPs I have thrown.
It still will fly pretty straight till it slows down, and goes almost as far as my Jokeri. But that sucker has a pretty hard fade on it. Positive it would be the most stable putter out there if they ran it in a premium plastic. Has the opposite of a plus rim, and is about as wide as a mid.
Interesting putter.

Well, it comes in a basic (firm) and an advanced (soft) plastic. I throw the soft plastic which will very likely never leave my bag. I used to throw Sinuses but the Credo totally destroyed it in a one on one battle. :thmbup:
