The Knot is a putt and approach disc rated 4/3/0/2. Zero turn into a 2 fade suggests a stable approach flight, straight through the middle with a dependable left finish for a right-hand backhand. It is not a disc for turnover touch.
It was the first PDGA certification for Good Tree Disc Golf, a New Hampshire brand that names its molds after parts of a tree and marks stability variants with plus and minus signs: approval came on 28 July 2025, with the understable Knot- following that September. The brand's listing pitches the Knot at straight drives with a dependable fade and at touch approaches meant to land around the chains, and its Burl+ listing calls the Knot the brand's flagship.
TryDiscs records GT-1450, GT-660 and GT-660 Luminescence runs of the mold.
