The Discraft ESP Banger GT is a stable putter with a groove circling the top of the flight plate and a bead underneath that gives you something to hold onto through the release.

Flight Numbers: 2 / 3 / 0 / 1

ESP is Discraft's grippy, premium blend, tacky enough to stick in cold or damp conditions and durable enough to shrug off years of chain slaps. It beats in slowly, so the slightly overstable feel you get on day one is close to what you still get after a couple of seasons.

On a flat putt it flies straight and drops with almost no glide, and on a hyzer approach it holds the line and finishes with a soft fade instead of skipping past the basket. The Groove Top makes it feel shallower in the hand than a deep dish putter while it still flies with the same slow, chain grabbing finish. It works as a primary putter for anyone who wants a low, controlled release, and forehand throwers like the bead for extra grip on a flick.

Looking for more glide inside the circle? The Discraft Jawbreaker Banger GT softens the feel and adds a touch. New to putters and want a cheaper base plastic first? The Discraft Putter Line Banger GT flies the same numbers for less. Check out the rest of our stable putters.
