We’ve been blessed with statistics ever since UDisc Live partnered up with the Disc Golf Pro Tour back in 2016. After a thorough research & going through thousands of rows of data, here’s the best putter in modern era pro disc golf. Just for quick clarification:
- In this article “modern era” refers to the period since the DGPT first started using UDisc Live and now PDGA Live, spanning from 2016 to 2026.
- C1X = Circle 1X = putts between 10ft to 33ft/3m to 10m AKA the bullseye and the edge of circle one.

“What we’re looking at here is every DGPT season with at least 89% C1X and at least 147 attempts. First graphic highlights which points are Andrew Marwede while the second graphic highlights in blue the seasons that happened in 2023. Note: only 7 of these seasons exceeded 90%. Marwede has 3 of them, no other player has more than one. That leads us to the third figure: C1X% over the last two seasons combined. As you could imagine, it’s not particularly close.”
