The Relic is a putt and approach disc listed here at 2/2/-2/2. A turn rating of -2 with a fade rating of 2 at a very slow speed suggests a short flight with some right drift on stronger throws before a finishing fade for a right-hand backhand. Its ratings suggest it is less suited to players seeking a floating, high-glide putter. Rip Disc Golf, which described itself as an Oregon-based company, called the Relic a beadless, straight-flying and somewhat understable disc, overmolded with a soft, rubber-like rim meant to grab the chains and stop skips, around a firm flight plate. Its first-run stamp shows a knight's helmet and a spiked ball. The brand asked whether another molding company would buy its PDGA-approved molds for the Relic, the Graboide and the Ballistic, discs it said it used to make. The PDGA approved the Relic on 11 April 2011 (11-17). TryDiscs lists it in Grip.

The Rip Disc Golf Relic has only 1 review so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

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.
