Discraft Challenger SS takes the familiar, overstable profile of the classic Challenger and injects it with a dose of stability neutrality, creating a versatile putter for a wider range of players. Here's how the Challenger SS carves its own niche:

Speed: Like the Challenger and Challenger OS, it remains a slow-speed disc, prioritizing control for accurate putting and approach shots.

Turn: This is where the SS (Straight Stable) comes into play. A negative turn rating indicates the Challenger SS will have a slight tendency to turn over during the initial flight phase, particularly with powerful throws. This creates a straighter flight path compared to the classic Challenger, making it more approachable for beginners and players with slower arm speeds.

Fade: The fade rating sits between the Challenger and Challenger OS. This translates to a moderate left turn (for right-handed backhand throws) at the end of the flight path, offering a predictable finish with less fade compared to the OS version.

Glide: Maintaining the moderate glide of its siblings, the Challenger SS offers decent airborne time for controlled approaches and putting from various distances.

Stability: The combination of slight turn and moderate fade creates a disc that's understable-leaning but neutral overall. This provides a good balance between control and maneuverability, allowing for straight approaches, hyzer putts with less fade, and even some turnover lines for experienced players.

Discraft Challenger SS bridges the gap between the extremely overstable Challenger OS and the classic Challenger. Its straighter flight path with a touch of turn makes it a good option for beginners and players with slower arm speeds seeking a versatile putter for approach shots, controlled putting, and even some finesse maneuvers. The variety of plastics allows you to find the perfect balance of grip, stability, and feel to suit your putting style and course conditions.
