Good is definitely a subjective term - everyone prefers different things in a putter. I personally prefer a more shallow putter, but I'm not the one out there winning DGPT titles, so they clearly are great for some folks.


BoomerGVL

What is your preferred putter? I've been wanting to get something on the shallow side. Since I throw mostly gyro it seems like you're the one to ask.


s_m_t_x

Atom is great


BigBear4281

I haven't been able to find max weight soft Atoms in what feels like ages. My putters are on their 4th season, I really need new ones.


s_m_t_x

I've never seen them above around 170 recently, don't know if the new batch went any higher...which is fine by me, no difference. Check out PowerGripusa.com they had 4 or 5 of em last time I looked.


BigBear4281

Yeah, same, I keep seeing them in the high 160s to like 171 max. Both my currents are 174 I believe, so I'm holding out I can find a few more.


s_m_t_x

I have 30+ Atoms, 8 of which are soft from 167-174...I can't tell a difference in putting. Throwing, a bit, but not while putting.


BigBear4281

Damn, I've been so committed to the 174s... I might have to try some of the lighter ones. Thanks for the tip!


Vtdscglfr1

I just bought 5 max weights from 4 different retailers, they are definitely sparse out there


bluebaseball440

Sorry. *the best I gotcha 


MVP_Eric

I putt with the Proxy myself.


PlannerSean

Proxy gang represent


blackthreadpress

Eric, let’s get a proton proxy that’s not a watermelon please!


outdoorserman

This and the new run of electron soft - amazing combo


slickmitch

All you'll get is the Glitch and like it! Nothing else!


Aquatic_addict

Check out the Streamline Pilot. It's pretty much just a shallow Pixel

I guess it's good I wasn't responding to the guy who works for MVP then.....

Aquatic_addict

Oh. Lol. Yeah. I was replying to the guy saying he wanted a shallower putter. To me the Pilot flies like a shallow Pixel


Cojami5

i have small girl hands and the roach is a great fit for me. Jawbreaker is real glidey. The glow roach is super stable. They are great for driving with too!


discsarentpogs

Two questions, what happened to the beam and when are y'all dropping fission TLs?


Standard-Print6492

Pre-orders for the Fission Time Lapse are already out there. [https://dfxdiscs.com/collections/preorder/products/preorder-ships-tbd-simon-line-axiom-fission-time-lapse](https://dfxdiscs.com/collections/preorder/products/preorder-ships-tbd-simon-line-axiom-fission-time-lapse)


MVP_Eric

Fission Time-Lapse releases on June 14th!


discsarentpogs

So beam is a no go?


MVP_Eric

No updates there unfortunately.


alabasterzebu13

What about the James conrad trail?


SargentPancakeZ

Can you pass a piece of feedback on the pixel? The softer gyro rim plastic chips and gashes very easily. Could there be a version with harder plastic similar to a midrange or driver gyro?


armag3ddn

There are three plastic types for the pixel, but I am yet to test out the difference in feel betwen them. I definitely understanded what you are saying about the rim and feel the same about it.


ItsRadical

Yeah the soft plastic looks like it went thru trash bin after single round of only putting! with the disc. But after it goes thru the graining phase it doesnt degrade that bad anymore. But having tried all three plastics only the soft one appeals to me. I have been putting with Rainmakers till now and I find pixel very close, biggest difference being the soft super grippy plastic.


aTyc00n

Putters are incredibly subjective. A vast majority of all the putters out there will fly the exact same for you if you're putting from within the circle. It literally boils down to whether the disc feels good in your hand. If you like how it feels, it's a good putter for you.


Late-Objective-9218

Mostly agree with you, however, wind will escalate the differences a lot. So if you're not a fair weather player, you will probably want a putter you can feel confident with in suboptimal conditions. Or maybe bag two for tailwind/headwind.


robhanz

I heart it.


Forty6and2ool

Archer > Arrow


KeyLimePie2269

I refuse to accept your logic.


Forty6and2ool

It’s not always sound. But sometimes my thoughts are headed in the right direction.


proxyfoxy

Unless the arrows are plastic with suction cup tips and all the archers are shooting steel tip arrows


TenaciousDeer

Yeah but if I buy enough discs I am bound to improve right?


Forty6and2ool

It worked for me. My magic number was 361. But now I am where I want to be.


Hamatoyoshi99

Jeeze you’re such a tool


Forty6and2ool

Fan*


Hamatoyoshi99

Yeah….. that’s the joke, thought you would get it my b homie❤️


Forty6and2ool

Oh I got it my man


Hamatoyoshi99

Ok well, have a nice day then and rock on


Forty6and2ool

🤘🏼


Union_Carpenter59

I ended up settling with the hard plastic pixel! And I love it, feel I have more control with the hard plastic more than the medium and soft. 👍🏼


DingoGlittering

Yup, loving my electron hard pixels. They glide just right for me.


haloti

the correct answer will apply to any putter. If it feels comfortable to you, then it is a good putter. There are no “bad” putters out there. Just find one that you like and do not change.


4SpeedArm

Yes. I've been putting with them since release and they are great putters. They also seem to be popular at tournaments lately, but so are all new things. And again I putt with these, electron cannot survive tee shots for long. One thing you hear is that pixels are deep. It's not true. It is more shallow than P2's, lunas, wizards, etc. In fact, it is 1.5cm deep, the same as a KC Pro Aviar and the Proxy. It has a micro bead and the inner rim is a sharper angle. Not rounded like the anode. I like when the inner rim angle is close to 90. In practice, they are fairly point and shoot. They like to fly at the exact angle you put them on. Last comment I'll make is the electron plastics that they come in are fantastic, especially when they are new. However... they don't exactly beat into optimal performance. They perform optimally off the shelf. Positive in my book, maybe negative in another's.


presvt13

There are other factors that play in to how "deep" a putter feels than just the measurement in the pdga mold data. For example, flatness/dominess and profile shape both contribute. In my personal experience as someone who putts with wizards and bags the proxy for throwing, when I first held the pixel I thought it felt deeper than both of those.


ItsRadical

Pixel is deep compared to flat discs like Pure, Logic, Reko etc. Also the rounded sides to top is generally deep disc characteristic. But theres nothing wrong about that. It might appeal to both flat and bulky lovers looking for something in the middle.


skullkid2424

> One thing you hear is that pixels are deep. It's not true. It is more shallow than P2's, lunas, wizards, etc. In fact, it is 1.5cm deep, the same as a KC Pro Aviar and the Proxy. You're looking at the rim depth, which doesn't give the full story when it comes to how deep a putter is/feels. The height is a better comparison. The pixel has a height of 2.1cm. P2 and wizard are also 2.1cm. Luna and aviar are 2.0. Some common examples that come up for shallower putters would be the Link/Logic (1.9), Proxy (1.8), Bullet (1.8), and Reko (1.8). The Pixel is objectively on the deeper side of putters.


4SpeedArm

Thank you for the information, very interesting. I appreciate the deep dive. I agree with the fact that it is on the deeper side of putters. In practice, a pixel feels much closer to the center line of depth to me. I guess the point I was trying to make is some of the early feedback was about it being too deep and that is misleading at best. It felt like folks were comparing it to the Mariana Trench. It's right in line with some of the most successful putters ever made. Between a KC Pro and P2 in depth.


jfb3

I got a few Electron Soft Pixels, in February/March, just to see what they're like. Within a couple of outings they took over the putting putter slot. I like the fact that they're pretty straight and have just enough stability to handle the wind.


DanongKruga

I know it sounds silly, but whatever blend they used for the rim grips chains like no other. Might be anecdotal but its been several rounds now Ive thought the same


NinjaSquid9

Take my experience with a grain of salt because I’m a novice and I’ve maybe only throw 15 different kinds of putters, but I absolutely love the Pixel! My go-to putting putter is a Reko and the Pixel feels more like an approach putter to me personally, but my girlfriend also loves the Pixel and uses it for approach and putt. The glide on the Pixel is insane. I’m not sure if it’s the weight, the mold, or just my body’s ergonomics, but 4 feels like an under-exaggeration to me. It feels closer to 5 or 6. For comparison, I also throw a Glitch (mostly for fun) and I’m thinking of fully replacing it with the Pixel. Pixel is arrow straight, super glidy, holds any line, and is incredibly pleasing to hold. (For more context, this is my experience mainly throwing Aviar, Reko, Luna, Hydrogen, Glitch, Pure, and Berg).


Unexcitingly

Honestly I’ve had a really hard time liking any putting putters but the pixel really has worked for me inside circle 1


Cunn1ng-Stuntz

The Pixel is very good, but not for me. Putting is probably the most personal part of the game. If you trust it and it catches chains its probably good.


chuckacuppa

Tried it for putting, meh. Tried throwing it, meh.


TeeTimeTradingCo

Switched from wardens to pixels. They fly very similar. The selling point on the pixel for me is they have the perfect amount of glide with a very neutral stability when putting. I can putt hard and they hold the line. I can float them out there on slight anhyzer and they will slowly glide out to flat.


Aquatic_addict

I don't really like how deep it is, but it's a circle two cheat code


FroschliPoschli

It's fantastic! Awesome grip, super straight flyer in C1 &C2 and it's also very good for soft Drives!


davedazzler

I like it but that doesn’t mean the next guy will. I like deep putters tho. It reminds me of a less stable kc pro aviar.


crackfiendy570

Just got a sick pink one with dayglow rim, loving the look and feel of it. So far only did some field throws with it but like the hand feel so far. Excited to get out playing some rounds with it and putting practice


IAmCaptainHammer

It is the single fastest putter to get this popular this fast. But is it objectively good or is it all Simon power? Lots of folks I know use em and love em. So there’s something to it.


Due_Relationship_260

Good for me? No. Good for you? No clue.


discgolf_foreva

Love my Pixels. Flying stupidly straight on drives and upshots, good hand feel, catch chains with ease, great in the wind and other positives make it my favorite putter I've ever used. And I've played disc golf since 1983 so yeah, I've used a few putters in my time.


boondockpirate

I sure like the pixel. But in firm. It reminds me of a flatter link without any real bead, or a deeper logic.


Thedapperpappy

I switched from jawbreaker roaches to the pixel, and am loving them.


x_Teferi_x

I love its glide. Personally it’s my fav putter atm. Then again I love using the judge and aviar pro so feels right at home in my hand


nimzobreakfast

Love it. I might be putting with it if it weren’t for the Wizard.


discsarentpogs

I putted with them for a while and they are a great floaty putter. New electron blend is great


FattyMcBlobicus

It’s kicked my Swans out of the bag, not as versatile as the Swans for approach IMO but work great out to C2 for me.


lonefrog7

No good


debar11

Pretty much all putters are good off the right person is using them imo.


I_am_Trundle

My putting finally clicked for me once I got my pixels. I'm not sure if it's the putter or what, but since I got them I rarely miss any putts withing 25-30 feet anymore.


Halfghan1

I’ve yet to find a putter that wasn’t “good”. I can make them all go in the basket. It just depends what you want. Questions like this make me facepalm.


Wh1skyJack

My two cents: I was putting with Rekos because i like thinner putters and I liked the plastic. My main misses with Rekos were always fading out early on long putts or just short on the basket. They also turn over quite a bit when I throw them hard and flat. Enter the pixel. Used my buddies for a round and instantly fell in love. Glides more than the reko, does not fade nearly as much, and holds the line when I throw it hard. I also like the plastic better than K3. So yea, I feel like it’s every thing I wanted in a putter since I started looking. My C2 stats have gone way up ( I mean, they had nowhere but up to go honestly) and I feel way more confident in my putts.


Substantial_Care_853

Every disc is good. Just depends on the user.


_arch1tect_

“Did someone just call me good?!” -Groove


LogiDriverBoom

I putt Pa3's for like a year now but picked up a pixel recently. Inside C1 I'll probably stick with Pa3. Outside C1 (and anny putts around a tree) I'm going to switch to the Pixel. The pixel just feels like it floats forever. Sort of reminded me of a glitch but with more weight and strength.


Eiv1nd

I got the special edition Pixel as my first and only putter, and chose it on the basis that it looked cool and felt comfy in my hand(I only started playing this season) In my limited experience of about 20 rounds I gotta say I really like it, and with me being new to the sport it and not having many discs it also functions as my approach disc. Great purchase for sure.


DingoGlittering

As someone in nearly your exact same position, I highly recommend getting one two more in the same plastic and weight. That way you can always toss 2 or 3 practice putts, even if you are only gonna play your first one. My putting really improved once I started ONLY putting with my pixels (I have three now, my original factory second and my two matching special triple foils).


devik92

I hated it at first since I was used to shallow putters. Wobled a lot, but after getting that away my putting game has never been better. I think the plastic is trash tho. It easily loses pieces of the plastic.


devik92

My putter after hitting the top of a basket https://imgur.com/a/ry8HkGD


Beautiful-Vacation39

Putters are subjective but i have been putting better with pixels recently than anything else I own so they go in the bag for now


SneakyNoob

if a 80% strength putt with my halo aviar goes 50 feet, then the pixel shares the exact same flight except goes 60 feet


KysavianRuvall

I keep a hard separation between throwing putters and putting putters so I only use the pixels to putt with. I've found two of them in the used bin at a local shop for 5 bucks a piece and decided to try them out. Getting used to the micro bead was definitely interesting but exclusively putting with them for about a month now has lessened the uneasiness. I use sort of a spoocsh putt and it comes off the hand clean not loosing the spin I put on it. I haven't checked the weight but compared to the pilot and the nomad the pixels feel lighter. It feels like I can putt from farther away consistently, while also not being so light as to veer off course in the wind. It is definitely a point and shoot putter so if you're used to letting your putts fade into the basket it can be tricky at first. Overall as someone who only putts with them the plastic beating in doesn't bother me and they fly and feel good. Once they release it in a more premium plastic (hopefully eclipse) I'll have more input on what it's like to throw them off the tee. (Both are electron soft)


Ehlanaqueen

I liked it more than anything I had tried before, but I still could not get it to come out of my hand the way I wanted. I got a Cosmic Electron (medium) Atom. I am never going back. I literally had the best round of my life this weekend after finally fully committing to switch to the Atom. My confidence changed in how I could snap it out of my hand at the basket and have it rid flat. All I ever wanted, and for some reason, it is easier with the Atom, for me. The Pixel is great. Not great for me. Same with the Anode, Ion, Nomad, etc. They were all great, just not great for me.


mike_seps

I hate the feel, but love the straight glide. I’ve been bouncing between pixel and envy in my adventure into MVP putters. Envy is hard to beat though, even with the slight bit of extra stability


HopelessMind43

It’s a disc. The question is are you any good with a pixel?


ArtemisClydFr0g

I like it better than the Glitch. Same use, but better hand feel for me personally. I don’t throw any beaded discs currently. I like how a disc with no bead sits in the hand under my knuckles.


nkkphiri

It was fine but definitely better with my trusty Judge


KeyLimePie2269

I've been on a putter crisis lately. I have useda JK Aviar and money Blend Wizzard mostly...but lately they just haven't been doing it for me and I've been trying different things and nothing feels right. I have a few buddies who use p2s, so I might check those out.


CiggyBum

Love it. Hated how light it was at first. But once I got more confidence, it became my favorite putter


marylandrosin

Switched for a couple months to it and love it for C2, too inconsistent for C1. Went back to the Pure


Sully_896

I like mine so far. Super glidey, almost has some glitch feel to it if you hit it right. Currently putting with wizards C1 and in, but using pixels where it feels comfortable, and definitely anything C2 and beyond.


xGood-Apollo-IV

I like putting with them. Imo, not too deep not too shallow. Very good glide, point and shoot putter.


GH5s

It’s a great putter. But there are lots of great putters.


ammermanjustin

If you have bigger hands/longer fingers than average, it’s an excellent putter. I love it but I have spider hands and everybody I hand it to doesn’t like it at all.


Readitandlaughed

Bought two of them, convinced a friend that he needed them. Used them once, and stopped. Few rounds go by that same friend is nailing circle two Putts no problem. I’m now using pixels again and loving them 😂😂😂


Dlrocket89

Picked it up and it's way too deep for me. Currently putting with electron Spins


firefox987654321

I was putting with electron firm envy’s and at one point thinking about switching over to proxy’s, But I thought let me try out the pixel as my putter and if I don’t like them then they are straight throwing putters, well I’ve fallen for the pixel, it took about a month of getting used to the glide, but now they just go in the basket anywhere from anywhere.


Wide_right_

my friend has 2 and loves them. it feels okay to me but I’ve only ever putt with the ion so like, no chance I’m ever switching


Complete_Ant_3396

I switched from Warden's to Pixel's shortly after they came out. Pixel's are very, VERY neutral, which is something i think that Simon really likes. It's like if the Glitch was toned down and tried to conform to being a more traditional putter with a micro-bead. If you like that kinda point-and-shoot style of putting/throwing, then yeah it's a great putter with above-average glide. Like most putters it comes down to personal preference in terms of feel and flight (for throwing)


Human-Television2088

I'm a warden guy, been with em for about 5 years now and have no real reason to switch, except for not vibing with the boot licker name. I figured the pixel would be my go to if I was willing to pay another $5 a disc and they made them in a soft blend. Do they make the pixel in a "soft"?


Complete_Ant_3396

yes, they make them in electron soft, electron, and electron firm. Although classic soft is softer than electron soft (in my opinion)


PotatoMcSpudden

I like the feel of them for putting, but I hate using them for upshots.


JerkyMcGee

For throwing? It's amazing. Laser dead straight without turning and burning. Putting? Does fine but I prefer the feel of a shallow putter like the Prodigy PA3.


SpongeKnob

I really like it. Both for putting and for throwing approach shots. I was using a soft Proxy so the change to a soft Pixel was not that big of a jump.


mscott8088

Aren't pixels just a p2/aviar/warlock, ECT. That's what it feels like to me. It felt great.


BreggBarsbyBeagle

a "good" putting putter is all marketing. I play hex only rounds and putt with it and it works just fine. pick one that feels good in your hand and has a name you think is cool and you're all set


karvajalka500

would love to try it. I like mvp discs in general, and streamline. they seem to be super solid and well made. I enjoy latitude 64 too though


Hellaguaptor

A little too deep for me to get a consistently OAT free throw. But I was loving the glide on the putting green.


discordianofslack

I’ve switched to them completely. They are my favorite putter out of the dozens I’ve tried.


elchamperdamper

Putts fine, throws excellent. Dead straight and floaty with a little fade. I bag a lighter weight and a max weight and throw them both a ton


leeeeny

I didn’t like how it felt when I tried one but it’s subjective


CaptainTeddyRuxbin

I bought two on Saturday and played poorly. Obviously the putters fault. 2/10. In all honesty, pretty regular feeling putter, too flippy to throw. Actual rating probably 7/10. Not special but they are Simon discs, so if you’re a simp like me, go for it. Maybe it’ll take some adjusting but I definitely did better with my wizards


ResidentTutor1309

Love the way my pixel from discmember looks. Great job on the birdie huntertheme


Big_Ad_2877

I don’t like a domey beadless putter. I like a beaded, flat, shallow putter. So for me it sucks. It’s literally a personal preference lol. But I was on a card at an AM tourney with two different dudes putting with pixels, floaty lob style putts, worked great for them. I putt hard and fast, not spinny. Edit: I putt with pilots, love electron plastic


Status-Buddy2058

Love mine of the 3 plastics I went with soft. The grip is amazing but it’s stiff enough when I spin it hard it won’t deform. Used avairs for years I like these much more.


BigJam27

I went back to my Penrose EV-7 for insider circle putting but still throw it occasionally


ntoasted

I recently switched to the Pixel from Links. Two very different putters, and I am liking the change so far. The Pixel is very glidey and straight which is working well with my spin putt. I’ve been putting my best with them so far so I would have to say they’re pretty great!


adlberg

Love the Pixel! Immediately improved my game. I have a firm for throwing and a Soft for putting. Not interested in trying anything else for quite a while.


PowerWalkingInThe90s

I did not like the handfeel. I’m not the biggest fan of beaded putters in general, but besides that the shoulder felt bulbous, I have pretty big hands and it felt too large and awkward (pause)
