Discraft Roost (Putter Line)
Discraft built the Roost as a deep, blunt putter, and in Putter Line plastic it is an overstable putter and approach disc with more glide than most. It started life as the Ricky Wysocki prototype putter.
Flight Numbers: 2 / 5 / 0 / 2
Putter Line is Discraft's grippy putter plastic. It has a tacky feel and a little flex, so it holds a thumb well and takes some abuse before it loses its edges. It beats in slowly.
The Roost is chunky. It sits deep in the hand and has a blunt nose, which suits larger hands. As a putter it feels like a taller PA3 with more glide, and it hits the chains hard from the circle. On longer putts it fades at the end, so aim a little left. As an approach it flies straight with a soft finish, and its glide of 5 is high for a putter.
It suits putters who like a deep, high-sided putter with a firm grip. Beginners get a lot out of it. Small hands may find the walls too tall.
