The Ponderosa is Above Ground Level's understable putter, rated 3/4/-2/0. It is useful for gentle forward carry and turning touch shots with very little finishing fade. Stronger throws can expose more turn, so a player may need a hyzer start to keep the shot within a narrow approach route. AGL's 2020 notes emphasize glide and longer putting attempts, positioning the mold as a short-game disc that can carry without a pronounced return. The PDGA approved the Ponderosa on 30 April 2020.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
