Disc Battle of the Day: MVP Glitch vs Discraft Kratos
The MVP Glitch and Discraft Kratos sit at opposite ends of the putter spectrum: one is a floaty, ultra-straight catch-style thrower, and the other is a confident, overstable workhorse. Comparing them shows how speed, glide, and fade shape your short-game decisions and off-the-tee consistency.

MVP Glitch
Pros
- Speed 1 and fade 0 make it point-and-shoot for touchy backhands in the woods.
- Glide 7 floats forever, perfect for soft landings that stick near the pin.
- Neutral turn 0 means minimal lateral movement—great for straight tunnel lines.
- Effortless distance at low power; superb for standstills and spin putts from range.
Cons
- Extreme glide can sail long if you misjudge height or tailwinds.
- Fade 0 offers little help fighting wind or finishing left/right on hyzer lines.
- Low torque tolerance—overpowering or forehand wobble can push it off-line.
Discraft Kratos
Pros
- Speed 3 with fade 3 delivers a trustworthy finish for approaches and drives.
- Handles wind and power well; dependable on both backhand and short forehand lines.
- Turn 0 keeps the early flight straight before a strong, predictable dump.
- Great for hyzer putts and confident, aggressive lines inside the circle.
Cons
- Lower glide 3 won’t float; requires committed speed to cover distance.
- Can fade out early on touch shots if released too softly or too high.
- Not ideal for dead-straight, no-fade landings without angle manipulation.
Head-to-Head
- Straight woods gaps: Glitch. Its 0/0 finish and huge glide hold line with minimal fade.
- Headwinds or skip-avoidance with a strong finish: Kratos. The 0/3 finish resists drift and sticks the hyzer.
- Standstill touch-ups and floaty layups: Glitch. It coasts and sits gently.
- Forehand approaches and power putter drives: Kratos. It accepts torque and shapes a reliable fade.
- Beginners needing easy glide: Glitch. Developing and advanced players seeking control in wind: Kratos.
Verdict
If you crave effortless, laser-straight touch with minimal fade, choose the MVP Glitch. It shines for tight tunnels, floaty layups, and low-power control that lands softly. If you value reliability in wind, confident hyzer finishes, and a putter you can drive or forehand without fear, pick the Discraft Kratos. Many bags benefit from both: Glitch for neutral finesse, Kratos for overstable control.
