Discraft Challenger SS – Straighter-Flying Challenger with Smooth Grip
The Discraft Challenger SS (Super Straight) is the more understable sibling of the classic Challenger putter, designed for players who love the feel of the Challenger but prefer a straighter flight. With flight ratings of 2 | 3 | -1 | 2, the Challenger SS offers a gentle turn and reliable fade—perfect for glidey spin putts, straight approaches, and long putts that need to hold a line.
Originally released as a test flight disc at the 2017 Ledgestone Open, the Challenger SS has developed a loyal following thanks to its flat-top profile, rounded rim, and extremely comfortable hand feel. It provides a touch more turn than the standard Challenger, making it an ideal driving putter and go-to option for slightly understable lines.
