[MVP] Atom

But how is it affecting stability? DX gets thrashed looking and becomes flippy. Haven't seen the same with Electron yet.

A dx driver gets flippy. A dx putter shouldn't be too bad after a month. I'm pretty sure an electon volt would get flippy fast.

True, I understand what you're saying now. I was reading your comments in regards to the Atom only, not a driver.

I also wouldn't mind a flippy Volt.

 

[ranger]

Yeah, that would be interesting.

As far as the atom goes, I'm very impressed with this disc. The grip electron shows, even when wet, is amazing.

 

[ThinAir]

Yes, Electron grip when wet is impressive. The only thing I've found better is Gateway SSS/Eraser.

Yea its grip is so good that my micro fiber towels stick to it, lol.

 

[nolangherity]

i might buy a couple of these for burners this spring.

Hope the normal inner rim doesn't mess u up

Is that why they did it? What about the other 298 putters out there?

 

[Phule77]

Played two full rounds in a charity tournament on Saturday in the rain and cold and putted the whole set with my soft atoms, never needed to wipe them off. So nice.

I very easily put a deep gouge in the rim on a normal putt for example.

.

What kind of basket and normal putt is that? lol.... Something doesn't add up as mine don't have any gouges from 2-3 18+ hole rounds being the only putter I had in the bag.

DX when new doesn't grip remotely as good as electron plastic and ranges pretty wide in firmness/durability. Hitting some rocks was the worst damage yet but that was expected.

With how durable N/P plastic can be, at this point electron is great. Hopefully a firm version would be a touch more durable for mids or drivers. Soft ones would feel :gross: IMO.

:thmbup:
In the few rounds all winter I haven't touched them with a towel. Actually rubbed some mud off in the snow and picked it right up to bang putts.

Basket made of nails and broken glass

Just a DGA basket. It could have been a fluke for sure, but these have been less durable than DX in my experience. Like you said, that's not necessarily bad with the other blends available. I do think a firm would be useful though.

 

[ThinAir]

My reg Atoms have little dents along the edge, but no gouges, chunks missing, or hangnails. I've only used it for putting though, including about a 100 putts on a DGA(Mach Lite) practice basket.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

yeah firm DX is actually more like neutron vs electron really. They don't even have much grip at first when new. Is R Pro plastic still a thing from innova? They definitely have that kind of a feel over the more "plastic" like baseline discs.

 

[brandon21486]

The only time my Atoms have had gouges taken out is from hitting the base of my Mach Lite Basket. I have hit a couple of trees and you can barely tell.

 

[BirdieMachine]

My new Atom arrived from DGC and the plate is kind of wavy/warped, not that big of a deal but kind of annoying. I'm going to try heating it and flattening it I think, maybe I can fix it.

Academy stocks R-Pro Aviars.

 

[ThinAir]

Liking the Atom more and more as a putter, hits chains and drops. And that's not even the soft version. Getting long putts dialed in with it now too, not as much float, but good glide.

 

[ODRB]

...not as much float, but good glide.

Yeah?

 

[ThinAir]

Do u have one?
