The PA-5 is a "silky smooth" understable putt and approach disc that has the ability to hit and hold turnover lines and can perform straight hyzerflips. It has a narrow feel in the hand for an easier release, and you will notice that the shape allows it to have more speed than other putters. On the putting green, the PA-5 is best for players who like a straight putter with little movement, right or left out, of the hand, but it also works very well for long distance shots.

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.
