While a putter is key for aiming for a shot and scoring, it proves to be an asset in several other scenarios. For instance, you're looking to throw straight over any terrain, including downhill and through a tunnel, a putter tends to be the best disc for the job.
However, compared to midranges, fairway, and distance drivers, a putter's use will be limited. For example, while you might see some pros throw this disc as far as 300 to 400 feet, this takes a significant amount of skill. The typical casual player will benefit more from a midrange or a driver in this scenario.
As well, not all terrains are ideal for putters. You'll notice your score creeping up if you attempt to throw it against the wind or on an incline.
But, for beginners, the slower speed and shot-making qualities are essential for handling and getting a sense of the game. As such, wherever you're playing or practicing your shot, have a few midranges and putters available. Once you're comfortable with gripping this disc and see your technique improve, it may be time to move up to drivers.
