The Lone Star Discs Alpha Benny is a straight-to-stable beaded putter, built to complement Lone Star's Penny with a bit more push at the finish, in the brand's firm Alpha plastic.

Flight Numbers: 3 / 4 / 0 / 2

Alpha plastic grips well in cold weather and holds up to plenty of tree contact without denting, similar in feel to Discraft's ESP. It is a slower plastic to beat in, so the reliable fade you get fresh out of the box sticks around for a long time.

Thrown flat it holds a straight line before finishing with a clean, dependable fade, similar to the Penny but with the bead adding just enough extra stability to resist turning over on a hard forehand release. It handles wind better than a flippier putter too, since it will not flip flat and drift off the intended target.

Anyone who likes the Penny but wants a bit more insurance against turning over should try the Benny instead. It works as a throwing putter for players with a bigger arm, and as an approach disc for anyone who needs a predictable fade on a layup shot.
