The V.P. is a putt and approach disc rated 2/3/0/2. Zero turn with a 2 fade suggests an overstable putter that holds against wind and finishes left for a right-hand backhand. It was the introductory golf disc from Vibram, the Italian rubber-sole maker's disc golf venture, certified as V.P. on 19 January 2009, the brand's first PDGA approval. Vibram's own page called it an overstable putter that handles a headwind with a predictable, consistent fade, and noted the firmer X-Link Firm run was preferred by lob and hyzer putters. The discs were molded from the brand's rubber-based X-Link compound. TryDiscs records six rubber runs for it, from Granite Medium through the X-Link family. Vibram exited disc golf in 2018 and the mold is out of production.

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.
