The Graboide was a very overstable two-part putter from RIP Disc Golf, a small Oregon-based manufacturer that wound down around 2020. It features a big bead and a rubber-like lip that is perfect for grabbing chains, combined with a hard plastic flight plate. It is one of the tallest golf discs ever approved at 2.5cm, giving you a thick, substantial feel. With almost no glide and extreme overstability, the Graboide excels as a driving putter that won't turn over even when thrown hard, making it excellent for controlled 250-300 foot drives and short upshots in the wind.

Questions

  • Is the RIP Graboide good for putting?
    The Graboide can be used for putting — its rubber-like lip grabs chains well. However, its extreme overstability (fade of 3) and very low glide (1) make it better suited as a driving putter or approach disc for windy conditions. For straight putting, most players prefer something less overstable.

  • What makes the Graboide unique compared to other putters?
    The Graboide stands out for its two-part construction (hard flight plate + soft rubbery rim), extreme overstability, and being one of the tallest disc golf discs at 2.5cm. It's the most overstable putter many players have ever thrown.
