The Ringer GT is the groove-top version of Discraft's Ringer, rated 4/4/0/3 with a bead: the same no-turn approach flight, a firmer fade than the standard Ringer carries, and the GT thumb track molded into the flight plate. It is an approach specialist for players who want a tactile, repeatable grip and a finish that always checks left. The groove registers the thumb the same way every time, the bead locks the rim, and the fade 3 makes overthrows forgiving: push it too hard and it still hooks down instead of sailing. Certified in April 2017 (PDGA cert 17-70), it extended the groove-top series that began with the Banger GT in 2005 into the approach-disc slot. The runs lean tactile: Putter Line Soft, X Soft, and Rubber Blend Glo on the soft end, Jawbreaker and Jawbreaker Swirl in the middle, and Z FLX, Z Metallic, and ESP Swirl for durable premium.

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.
