Discraft Putter 2|3|0|3

The Discraft Challenger OS (Overstable) is a putt and approach disc golf disc. It is a more overstable, or stable-to-overstable, version of the popular Challenger putter. It was first approved on September 25, 2017.

• Flight numbers: Speed 2, Glide 3, Turn 0, Fade 3.
• Stability: Described as overstable, with a Discraft stability rating of 1.7. Reviews note that while it's overstable, it's not a "meat hook," meaning it won't dump hard at the end of its flight. It maintains a good balance of glide and stability.
• Design: Flatter profile than the standard Challenger, featuring a beaded rim. Some reviews mention the bead is a slightly larger than the micro bead on the original Challenger, while others describe it as a small bead, comparable to the original. This provides a comfortable grip and confident feel.
• Flight characteristics:
  • Designed for reliability in windy conditions.
  • Holds a line with a consistent fade.
  • Handles more power than the Challenger without turning over easily.
  • Suitable for drives, especially in headwinds.
  • Great for forehand approaches and hyzer putts.
  • Offers good glide, allowing for straight throws before fading reliably.
• Comparison to the Challenger: The Challenger OS is more stable and has a larger bead compared to the original Challenger. It provides more overstability and handles headwinds better.
• Comparison to the Challenger SS: Unlike the Challenger SS, the Challenger OS has a bead. Some compare the Challenger OS to a Challenger SS with a bead and more stability.
• Recommended use:
  • Ideal for driving putts and approach shots where stability and consistency are crucial.
  • A good choice for those who prefer beaded putters and appreciate a stable finish.
  • Suitable for both putting and throwing, especially in situations demanding predictable fades.
• Endorsing professionals: Notably, Chris Dickerson uses the Challenger OS as his go-to putter off the tee and on the putting green. Missy Gannon also endorses it as a reliable overstable putter with good glide.
• Skill level: Considered versatile enough for all skill levels, from beginners seeking a predictable fade to advanced players needing a workhorse putter for throws and approaches.
• Plastic types: Available in a variety of plastics including Putter Line, Jawbreaker, and Z plastic.
