Divergent Discs Max Grip Glow Narwhal
2
The Divergent Discs Max Grip Glow Narwhal is an understable putt and approach disc with a super domed profile, cast in a glow plastic dim enough to be priced well below Divergent's brighter runs. It has become a go-to short-game disc for players who want a putter that will not fight them on distance.
Flight Numbers: 3 / 3 / -2 / 0.5
Max Grip plastic is durable, tacky, and flexible in the hand, and it holds up better than most base plastics for the price. The dome on this mold is more pronounced than a typical putter, so it takes a slightly different grip to feel right, but that same shape is what gives it real glide for a disc this slow.
Thrown as a putt or upshot it holds a straight line longer than most understable putters before turning over on longer looks, which means a farther throw needs a bit more hyzer to keep it on target. As a driving putter it goes further than its numbers suggest thanks to the glide, and it is forgiving of an imperfect release since the low speed and light fade keep it from doing anything drastic. This disc suits beginners learning to putt with confidence, and it doubles well as a jump putt disc for players of any level who want more distance out of a putter.
Want the same plastic in a different run? The Divergent Discs Narwhal Max Grip Glow covers that. Looking for a firmer, low-glide putter instead? Try the Kastaplast K1 Berg. See the rest of our understable putters.
