The Magnet is a slow putter so headwinds do cause it to turn much more than usual. The direction of the wind seems to matter very little and the magnet always displays a similar flight and decent glide. What surprises me the most is how consistent the Magnet is in the wind considering it’s not extremely overstable. Want a straight shot? No problem at all, dead straight at 150-200. It has a little difficulty on anhyzers as it fights to pull out the whole way, but put it on a higher angle and it will turn nicely. The Magnet loves long hyzer lines and will flip up nicely and hover to a landing. The fade is strong and will pull the Magnet out of a line, but it sets in slowly rather than quickly which allows for a very soft and precise landing. While the flight path suggests something of an s-curve putter, I found that the Magnet kept to it’s path until the fade took over late. Its medium glide along with moderate turn will create long and gentle lines with a predictable fade.
Once again, Discraft’s Magnet is extremely consistent. I suspect those with larger hands won’t have any trouble and may not even need to adjust. However, now that I’ve adjusted my fan grip it releases quite smoothly, especially for a deep rimmed putter. Keep in mind I’m a spin putter and push putters will likely find the Magnet favorable as it can be pushed or pitched straight to the chains.Īs I mentioned above, the Magnet didn’t feel comfortable at first with the deep rim and sharp nose. The hard fade will occasionally lead to rolls, but unless you’re on a hill the roll should be minimal. After practicing, though, I realized that the Magnet works great for aiming past the basket and through the chains! By holding a straight line, the Magnet will let you toss directly at the basket and if you miss, the fade will kick in and prevent a long overthrow. I had difficulty with this for some time because my putting style involves aiming at a single chain link and I had trouble aiming because of the hard fade. Inside 50 feet Discraft’s Magnet is stable and will hold a straight line just until the end of the flight where it fades hard. The Magnet displays a gentle turn on long throws of 225 feet and beyond, but I found almost no turn on the shorter throws. Interactive flight chart brought you by DG Puttheads. It took me a while to get used to the feel of this putter in my small hands, but with slight modifications to my fan grip I became comfortable and realized an extremely consistent release. The Magnet has a sharp nose, concave bottom lip, deep rim, and a micro bead. I have to believe that the haters don’t know the Magnet’s strengths and haven’t given it a chance. It’s common that disc golfers either love Discraft’s Magnet or hate it.
