What are the differences between a putter and a disc golf driver?

In the sport of disc golf , there are different types of discs that are used for different playing situations.
The following describes the differences between a putter, a midrange, a fairway driver, and a distance driver:

  1. Putter : Putters are the most widely used discs in disc golf. They are slow-flying discs and are used to hit short, accurate shots on the green or near the basket. Putters are usually rounded edged discs, which allows them to fly straighter and reduces the chance of unexpected drift in flight by making them easily controllable and reliable discs in the hand (known as stable).

  2. Midrange : Midranges are discs used for medium-distance throws. They are more stable than putters, which means they tend to fly straighter and don't drift off the fairway easily. Midranges can also be used for curved or angled shots and often provide more control than drivers.

  3. Fairway driver : Fairway drivers are fast-flying discs used for medium-range shots. They are more stable than distance drivers and provide more control on curveball launches. Fairway drivers can be used in situations where more precision is required than can be achieved with a distance driver.

  4. Distance Driver : Distance drivers are the fastest and highest flying discs. They are used for long-distance shooting and can reach speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour at some point in flight. Distance drivers are typically less stable than the other types of pucks, meaning they can be thrown off course more easily. Distance drivers can be used to hit straight or curved shots, and are especially useful on long holes where a lot of distance is required to reach the basket in a few shots.

In short, the different types of discs in disc golf are used for different playing situations. The putters are ideal for short and precise shots, the midrange for medium distance shots, the fairway drivers for slightly larger shots and the distance drivers for long distance shots.
Choosing the right puck will depend on terrain, distance, and player skill.
