Player Reviews Posted 10-09-05 Submitted by Anonymous Disc Weights: 165 Review: I recently bought this disc, after losing my Innova Aviar. At first, I had been planning to buy a champion Aviar, but I happened to pick up the Magnet, and notice that it felt almost the same, if not better. I've only been using it for about two weeks, but it's definitely one of the better putters I've used. I haven't had much luck with approach shots, but my putting has become at least 2 times better. It's only 165, but it really loses air fast, which causes it to drop right into the basket. If you're looking to try out a different putter, I'd really look into getting this disc. Posted: 3-19-04 Submitted Jon Turner oxdisc(AT)thets.demon.co.uk The Z-Magnet is the toughest of the Magnet family. The disc is more overstable and glides a bit less than the Pro-D Magnet/Soft Magnet but with a similar flight shape (straight then slight left fade). The closest comparison I can think of is a heavy Elite-X Challenger. The main difference between the Z-Magnet, the Challenger and the other Magnets seems to be in the feel - for me, this disc is barely a putter and more like a midrange in feel. It is rigid and hefty and feels unstoppable when thrown hard (mine's a 175g thug which doesn't help). Despite this, it actually putts as well as any other hard putter I've used and I've noticed no increase in bounce-outs when using it. The toughness and overstability pays off when thrown hard or in the wind though as the disc is quite resistant to turnover for a putter and very steady. Because of this, I tend to use it more for upshots or forehand/sidearm shots at close range. I've always been a fan of Magne! ts (and Soft Magnets) but I found they changed in 3 distinct steps (quite overstable when brand new, to straight and steady for most of their life then to slightly understable from then on) as they got worn and the change could be quite dramatic (in one shot was the worst case for me!). Somehow, I don't think this will be the case with the Z-Magnet making it a very welcome and long-overdue addition to the Magnet family (and my bag!). Submit Your Review Back to Main Page |
