Shogun

Putt & Approach
The Shogun is Discmania's deep, beaded putter from the Active line, rated 2/4/0/2. It suits players who like a fuller grip and want a putter for approaches and tee shots as well as the basket. Players who struggle with a deep rim, particularly on forehands, may find a shallower option easier to handle. Discmania calls its profile a deep-dish design and describes it as able to handle appreciable throwing power. The maker describes relatively straight flights with very little low-speed fade and includes moderate wind among the intended conditions. Its deeper grip and appreciable glide are useful differences to assess when the intended job is a short drive. The PDGA approved the Shogun on 22 February 2021 (21-26).

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.
