Gumbput

DGA Putt & Apporach

The DGA Gumbputt is a legendary line of "super-soft" putt and approach discs famous for their extreme flexibility and ability to "hit and sit" on any terrain. Unlike traditional plastic discs, these are made from a specialized rubber blend.

There are two primary models in the Gumbputt family:

• Blunt Gumbputt (The Original)
  
  • This is the most popular version, often simply called "The Gumbputt". It was the personal putter of choice for the father of disc golf, "Steady" Ed Headrick.
  • Flight Numbers: 2 | 2 | 0 | 2.
  • Flight Style: It is surprisingly stable and holds its line well against light winds. Inside 15–20 feet, it flies dead straight with a predictable, heavy fade at the end of longer shots.
  • The "Stop" Factor: Its signature feature is ground control. Because it is so soft, it absorbs impact, folds on landing, and virtually eliminates roll-aways on hills.
  • Chain Grabbing: The rubbery "Signature Line" plastic is designed to wrap around chains rather than bouncing off them.
• Powerdrive Gumbputt
  • A more specialized approach version of the mold.
  • Flight Numbers: 2 | 2 | -1 | 0.
  • Flight Style: It features a more beveled edge than the Blunt, giving it slightly more speed and an understable (right-turning for RHBH) flight path.
  • Best Use: Ideal for "touch" approach shots where you need the disc to flip to flat and then drop dead near the basket
