[Putters] Puckin futters

However weird the disc is, I prefer the blowfly 2 for water shots. It's not a bad putter. It's also a great uphill disc

Also Have herd that below a certain weight the Rubber Putter is a Floating water disc too. Or is that just the Rubber Putter is a floating water shots. I don't think mine, now mom's at 166 grams was light enough. I was always told that the Rubber Putter had to be under 160 grams to float on water.

I know a guy who used the Gumputt and blunt models and the Blowfly/II for his putter discs. Uses the Blowfly II for his water shots. His driver Gumputt is used for driving some how on the upper plains, South Dakota. He does have a different disc for long putts/windy days I think at one point it was a Ching Precision but became a reef or something.

My dad has a DX Hydra for his water shot, at the time if the Hydra was 174 or 175 grams I would have gotten it for an approach disc in the mid 2000's but the disc was 170 grams and I did not use the disc due to that reason. At the time I was more picky about weight of the disc. Not only that but the local store that sold Innova was always sold out of the old DX Hydras. I use a Magnet so I could feel comfortable with the feel of a Hydra. I so want to get a R-Pro Hydra but I feel that would have less use for me then a DX Dragon. Why doesn't Innova make a Blizzard Champion Dragon at the weight the disc needs to be to float? The Dragon would stay throwable longer in a Champion type plastic.
 
Figured I would go ahead and put in here that my final decision turned out to be what I wasn't looking for. I can comfortably grip the pure white wizard for a throw so that's what im going to be throwing. I like the flat top and they are much more stable tha. I expected so working them in and cycling will be no problem.
 
I really want to try the rat. Just wish it was beaded. What would a slow gator be??? Or is a slow gator a rat??

The Rat is not Gator-"ish". The Rat is less overstable, and doesn't have the hard dump fade my Star Gator has. The Rat is a flatter (less deep) AviarX3 to me.

Rat is a harp flight with a zone feel

Decided to ditch the Rhyno and I am now bagging a Gator. So far I have had the harp on the bag' Rhyno and now the Gator. Harps are glidey and the others aren't but anyway, I am using this disc as a hybrid type disc. When I throw it slow it acts like a slightly more glidey Rhyno. When I get on kt it turns into a monster of its own kind worthy of its name. Anyone else using the gator like this? I k kw its not technically a outter but the rat made it in here bc someone said ir was a putter sooooo. Anything at all on this bad boy??

My Rhynos were never as overstable as my Star Gator, and they served different purposes for me. My Gator is a decent overstable disc, flies straight with a dump fade at the end. I like to say the Gator flies straight then remember it has to fade and land so it seeks out the ground and dives to it.

Having said that, I came to prefer the Hornet, Harp, AviarX3, and Rat for the OS mid/approach roles. One thing I really like the Star Gator for is putting into stiff headwinds; I really felt more confident on those tricky putts.

My Rhynos are obviously a little less stable than my Gator but in time the Gator will lose a little stability and be less than fresh but still more than a Rhyno. I can cover all of my ither putter approaches with my Wiz. Ao the duality of the Gator's rile is what is attractive to me.

I use a rhyno for shorter, straight to stable finishes. If I need more distance and overstablility that's when I pull out the zone. Both have their purpose for me.

I'M genuinely hopingbto find some things the Gator can't cover the Rhyno on so I don't have tonmake it live in a box forever. I love throwing the Rhyno and I'm not a mold minimalist(not for real) Inonly like to bag molds I can use to cober all of a specific set of duties with, less confusing, less guesswork just straightforward golf.

Gator can do longer shot range for a disc then the Rhyno and can fight wind better if you have mega windy days. I see the Gator as being more overstable and for a windy day the Rhyno would not be used even too windy for a Rhyno.

Some kind of Gator with the Thumtrack would cool, a more overstable Gator, call it a Crocodile or Croc.

Ues this is why I like it. Same shots as a Rhyno just can akso go longer with less effort. And yes it fights wind better.
