What Putter is right for you?

An important part of your game as you progress is to find a putter that fits your style of play.  Now I traditionally have put two different ways. Float putting and straight on putting.  Those are two opposites and there are different forms of putting in between that encompass a variety of both.  Putters like the Pole Cat and the Birdie are great for float putting.  The honestly look like oversized Pringle can lids.  They are very slow and straight putters. Ideal for float putting.  However, if too much speed is put on them, they have a tendency to turn.  If you putt with a lot of power, this may not be ideal for you.  A better putter would be an Avair or a Rhyno.  These are more overstable putters that require more power to be put on them for more accurate putting.  The Aero is an interesting putter.  It has a massive amount of glide and very little fade.  This is good for longer putts that require a straight on finish to the hole.  Beware: if you power this disc and miss the basket, it will keep going enough to frustrate the best of us.  The Avair Driver is my favorite putter.  This is like an Avair but can handle more power on a drive.  Also I got my first hole and one with one of these.  This disc is good for a float putt with a lot of spin and a moderate amount of power.  Good putts with this disc look like they bounce out of your hand and into the basket
