The Barb is a putt and approach disc rated 4/3/0/3. Zero turn against a 3 fade suggests an overstable approach flight that holds into wind and finishes firmly left for a right-hand backhand. It is not a disc for turnover touch. It opened the record of Compound Discs, a small Georgia operation whose PDGA-certified catalog, in the record as of the 2026 export, is five molds, every one of them a putt and approach disc. The Barb's approval, on 18 March 2024, came first, with the other four following inside the same year. No brand site or shop copy for it surfaced in the sources traced for this page as of August 2026. TryDiscs holds no plastics rows for it yet as of August 2026.
