Alter

4.6(17)
Putt & Approach
The Alter is Thought Space Athletics' beaded putter rated 3/3/0/1. It fits putting and controlled approaches with a small finish, especially for players who want a bead as a finger-placement reference. Thought Space describes a somewhat deeper putting shape and recommends Alter for both circle putting and touch approaches. Its Nerve listings emphasize grip and describe a firm feel. The shape is worth handling if a player is used to a smooth, beadless underside. The PDGA approved Alter on 11 July 2022 (22-126).

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.
