In 2023 I signed a deal with Foundation Disc Golf to join the family...and with it I embarked on a journey unlike anything I'd ever done. I took my biggest strength and made it vulnerable to the people. I asked viewers and fans what I should use for 2023 to putt with, and the vote was for Luna's. With six months under my belt, I've had a few revelations with them and wanted to bring along a progress report especially to help you choose your next putter. How's it going?? You'll have to watch to find out!!

    I won’t lie, this may have changed my opinion about putting with Lunas. I’m a massive McBeth fanboy and a part of the reason why I put with Lunas is because of him. I’ve been playing around with the different plastics for Lunas and I still haven’t really found the best one for me. I think this video specifically is the one that made me realize that Lunas aren’t really doing anything special for me. I bought a zero medium dagger a week ago and loved how it felt but I’ve been meaning to take it out and have it duel with the Luna and I think this was that reminder I needed. Keep up the good work Mr. KZread Man!

    When I was super new to disc golf, I tagged along with my buddy to get Brodie's Dark Crystal Raptor, and get it signed - while we were there, I said "I need a putter" and my buddy said "I got you fam" and started looking through the used bin We grabbed a pretty beat up Luna, and I instantly loved the feel of it, then when we got to the counter and had Brodie sign the raptors, he said "oh cool, you also got one of my old practice Luna's" So yeah, been putting with a Luna ever since!

    After about 9 years of playing, circulating challys, roaches, judges, and so on, I tried the Luna and at first thought it felt weird. After a few rounds and some practice I realized that it gave me both the point and shoot aspect I’d been looking for along with juuuuuuust enough stability to forgive some longer runs I didn’t get before. I am still putting with the prototype Lunas I received from being a first year underground member but am scared that once the time to put different plastics in the bag I’ll be lost again. As Lunas are not cheap and now I have children, I’m hanging on for dear life to the ones I have. Great stuff Robbie and appreciate the work you do for our sport. Keep it up!

    I have tried a lot of putters from different companies and always find myself coming back to the Luna. Consistency is what I get from them. It just performs the same for me every time and that gives me the confidence to take the putt even when it is out of my comfort circle. Which by way has grown the last few months. Great discs, great content creators, and lots of practice makes for a better disc golfer. That is my goal. I spent my disc golf money on Polecats thanks to you Robbie so throw me love and give me some of those Lunas. My wife will thank you. HaHa!

    Why do I love the Luna? I mostly love what the Luna represents. The Luna was the beginning of Paul's own line of discs. This revolutionized how top pros make money and approach contracts. This also led to an era of incredible plastic from the Falcor to the Nomad. The Luna is a symbol of disc golf taking a step forward.

    My son and I started playing disc golf around 7 weeks ago, and we are both hooked. I have been looking for something both of us can do together, and this fits the bill nicely. He is a forehand dominate, and I'm trying to put a back hand together. The one thing we always say during a round is that we need to practice putting more. So, we are saving up for a basket to put in the back yard and some putters. We both watch your channel and putters that you have thrown would be neat, either way thanks for all you do for beginner disc golf players everywhere!

    I love the Luna because it gave me confidence in my putt. It never left my bag after the first time I used it. I didn’t have to stress over 15 footers anymore because it just felt so smooth coming out of my hand. It became my main putter, taking over for the discraft magnet, and I won my first league tournament with it. I was smashing all of the putts for my partner and we were unstoppable. The Luna gave me confidence even under pressure which is something I didn’t have before.

    You saying the Lunas have a tendency to drop is huge for me. I got a practice basket for my birthday in April and started focusing on my putting form a lot more but noticed I was hitting the chains low or the basket. I was pretty discouraged because I changed my form for more consistency but was always hitting low. I’m glad the disc has a big role in that and it’s not all my form.

    I was a young lad, maybe 16 at the time...and thats when i saw her. Round, beaded, beautiful, the Luna. I knew i had no chance with her at the time so i abandoned my dreams of ever finding that special putter. But i worked on my stance, my count, my rythym and then wouldnt you guessed who strolls back into town. The Luna, and i knew it was my time. I approached her and said "would you be my special putter?" We've been together since. In seriousness my friend has them and I tried them and loved them! Would really love a couple myself ive only been playing since April. Great content!!

    Hey Robbie, huge fan of your content! I can confidently say my game would be nowhere near where it is today without your videos. Now as for my reason why I love Luna's... I don't. Never thrown one. However, my close friend (and arguably the only other person who helped my game as much as you) loves them for the exact reasons you described in the video! He hits some really cool C2 putts with that glide and is probably the best putter I know. He loves the Luna so much that he NAMED HIS DAUGHTER LUNA! Talk about dedication! So if you're looking to find someone who will appreciate & love these discs as much as you (tried to) I can promise it's him.

    For a long time I bounced around putters until one day a wise old man told me to try a Luna. With his sage like wisdom I bought one a couple weeks after and loved it. It gave me the pop from the deep range that I needed and was consistent from close. Through the first phase of the disc I was constantly nailing putts. Then I hit a drought! I switched to a Jude to try out a bead and went dead for weeks. Giving up hope I went back to the Luna. And fell in love all over again

That is why I love the Luna

    The first time I picked up an Aviar it felt great and I've not looked back since. It's super cheap, and I never have supply problems if I need to buy a new set to practice with or take to putting league. I have a Luna, too, and it just feels like a slightly different Aviar with a touch thicker rim, and a slightly more rounded bottom rim. Feels good to me, and they make great straight-flying putters.

    I love the Luna because when all of my fellow night owls are out there hooting at the moon and playing glow rounds, the Luna comes in clutch for me. It's a devine putter, and has taught me how to have just the right touch with my putting, and as we know putting is the best way to shave strokes off of our game is to lock in your putting. I don't feel like I'm out there just winging it on the course with the Luna, and the nest (I mean rest) is history. Thanks Robbie C

    I love the Luna because of the super powers that some of them have. Did you know that discraft would collect Paul’s used drifits and ring out a tiny bit of 6x sweat into certain batches? You just have to know how to identify them. You know how you mentioned some of your puts having super high glide? Well now you know why. You just need to isolate those particular putter.. then ship them to me! 😊

    Playing in different seasons and temperatures and how much that can affect putter stiffness and grip is definitely under appreciated. That's part of why I was drawn to MVPs offerings and being able to go soft, regular, or firm in electron- and the cosmic versions can provide a bit of additional variance as well - really letting you dial in the kind of grip and stiffness you need for a particular time of year. I stopped using the P2 and the Luna because of plastic availability issues so that was the first thing I looked for when I looked for my next putter. I dont want to putt with limited release plastics

    Hey Robbie, Happy late birthday! Love your content. I want to say your beginner content is and was a great place for me to start my journey back into the disc golf world. For me, as returning player to watch, and for my wife, who is attempting to really learn how to play. She and I have spent tons of time watching your content, and the advice/informative content has been some of the best we could get. It has been something where we are waiting for the uploads knowing they will be informative and entertaining. I played disc golf a lot from 2010 - 2018ish, while my girlfriend and now wife played more casually. We both ended up taking a break from disc golf from then until this spring. We live in Northern California, where a lot of fires have changed the landscape, and we lost interest after our home course and a local course both were burned. But we both wanted to get back into it, to get outside more and play a sport we both enjoyed while also creating new memories. We started by playing a local course, and immediately, I went straight back to 2014, the first putt. I had an ancient Discraft Magnet that was my putting machine through the first years of golfing. At the time, the common thread that I was told by people was to "throw what's comfortable" and that "all putters are the same; it's mostly mental anyways." So, even though I felt like I didn't love the Magnet mold, I kept putting with the Magnets for years. They felt good, and if all putters are the same, then why change? So, right off the rip, I got a 5 pack of magnets to putt with, and they're cheap. I smashed a ton of reps but still couldn't really get confident with the magnets. I ended up shopping around. The Luna was the first one I bought and messed around with, but I didn't seem to find a happy place with them at first, mainly because they're a very expensive putting putter to replace my magnet. I tried almost every brand's putter that I could find used at my local play it again. I did my first tournament with the magnets and struggled with putting. My wife told me after my tournament round, "why did you buy the Luna's first and putt really well with them in practice and then give up on them even though you rated them so highly?" Stubbornly, I listened to her advice, and I went back to throwing the single Luna, knowing that if I like them that I won't have as many Lunas as I do Magnets. They're very good discs when you give them a true opportunity. They have a more predictable flight compared to the magnet, yet similar characteristics within the circle. In my opinion, where the magnet fell short is where the Luna makes up and fills the gaps. They're a good throwing putter, surprisingly understable at higher speeds but just as much as a straight flyer as the magnet. The profile is similar as well. Other putters definitely didn't have the same feel in the hand as the Luna and Magnet. And the plastic feel is very good. Overall I would love to be chosen for this giveaway because I know I would put them to good use while also having a chance of having a favorite content creator's discs! The Luna has been the putting putter for me this summer and I don't imagine changing. Thanks for this opportunity and for your content!

    I love my Lunas for how i spin putt. Most times i like to push that overstability and the extra glide made it feel more consistent out of my hand than the pigs i used prior. Im glad someone mentioned the "dead drop" that can happen when you arent putting enough juice in your shorter putts and boy can that be a real downer! I buy maybe one a year due to the price and have been rotating my three for a bit! this last year i was given a big Z luna which is my favorite putter for tee shots! Days where i want to switch up my bag come and go, but ive kept that consistency with my silly 30 dollar plastics for so long, i cant go back!

    I love the luna for the nostalgia. I got into the sport just after the holy shot, I had to learn about all these people and seeing Paul as the general top at the time. I picked one up randomly because I was obsessing over putters because i was wanting to get better. It was fantastic as a change from a premium plastic Pa-3. As it hepled me get better, it stayed with me until it got bent out of shape, forcing me to switch again. Its been in my bag since then, and ill still throw it until it breaks or i cant play anymore.

    I absolutely love discraft’s rubber blend plastic. I’ve made it a little mission of mine to collect several of my favorite discraft molds such as the Nuke and Buzzz SS in their limited production rubber blend releases. That is what initially drew me to the Luna as a putter and I have putt with them on and off for a while now. I also recently tried the CT glow plastic for the first time when I bought a Foundation stamped buzzz. I also immediately took a liking to the CT plastic as well and loved the stiffness of it. I haven’t tried a Luna in any other plastic type and think that a CT Luna would be especially interesting to give a go in my colder climate of northern Minnesota. I love your videos and podcast. Keep doing what your doing, Robbie!

While in the pro shop a Luna was in their discount used bin. I had my best day of putting that day and it has only improved since. I practice like you do and have found that both the fast drop and the great glide help in situations and would love to have more to throw with my practice basket. Love your videos so far.

When paul designed it I believe he had the perfect diameter in mind for older people who are working class with strong curled hands. The first time I grabbed it it was like they had used my hand for the size. I have tried 13 diffrent putters and hands down the luna is it. Sorry u didn't have any luck with it , I have found there is a putter for everyone u just have to find it.

    I love my lunas because of the same exact reason you liked them from outside of the circle. My very first tournament of my short disc golf adventure I was left short for a birdie on the first hole of the first round, about 90’ out. My caddie told me to lay up and I shook him off and drilled it, full on raptor legs running to the basket. 2 holes later and the exact same situation and I drilled another! And after that I was running everything and it definitely cost me a lot of strokes.. but I still love them because I have so much confidence outside the circle!

    Tbh I didn't love the Luna at first, I've been playing disc golf for under a year and still on a quest to find my putter that I'm comfortable with. The Luna gave me insight on a rubber blend beadless putter that I know fall back on and enjoy throwing because it's more comfortable in the hand after buying and trying a slew of other discs: pa-3, pa-2, xt colt, pure and dagger just to name a few. Thanks for doing what you do Robbie, keep it up.

    Lunas completely changed my game. I didn’t like in my game how I had a separate molds for putting and throwing putters (putting with wardens vs throwing the envy). As a Paul fan I decided to try the luna and it took a long time for me to really fall in love with the disc. While it is the disc I have had to put the most effort into I’ve gotten the most reward out the Luna than any other disc in my bag. I love throwing it and love putting it. My putt is more confident than it has ever been (albeit still not great lol) and my approach game feels amazing anything inside 250. I’ve Loved watching you work through your likes and dislikes with the luna and you put to words what I have been trying to pinpoint about my own game for a while. I have been putting with rubber blend lunas since covid but have yet to try the CT luna. I made the move to Texas from Oregon last year and have felt a difference in the heat when putting with the rubber blend. I haven’t had the finances to get a set of CTs but I’m excited to try them in the future. Thanks for the insight!

    The Luna’s rubber blend plastic is what actually made me fall in love with the Bro-d roaches. I loved the feel, but avoided the mold because I’m not a world champion putter. When Brodie got into disc golf, he chose the roach for the feel effortless glide which made me think I could putt with it too.

    The rubber blend of the stock run Luna really reminds me of those large rubber erasers I used in school. After years of using those to erase my mistakes it felt good to chuck those across my room when I got home, fortunately the Luna has the same exact feel. It might even be therapeutic.

    Well Robbie, you and I are just Yin and Yang. You like beaded and stiff. I prefer non-beaded and rubber blends. You are really good at putting and I am really good at making putt attempts. Not really a big CT fan, but the rubber blends are SWEET and the lack of bead just feels right. Good luck with your crappy feeling beaded putting projectiles! Thanks for the fun video as usual.

    I started Disc Golf right under a year ago and started with a pure, faith, and a judge. Thought I liked the pure at first and one of the guys that got me into disc golf told me I had to try the Lunas. Went into our local shop and they only had 2. Bought both of them and bagged 1 ever since if not for putting at least approach shots, but recently did end up throwing 1 into a river right after it rained and never found it again. Around here they are hard to get your hands on.

    I love my PM Lunas for putting and I never really knew why until Sir Roberto explained why he disliked them 😂 I love that when I get the right release the flight looks and feels so pure! But when I’m off, I get the instant feedback that something wasn’t right in the stroke/release and can work to fix it. It was my first disc purchase outside of a starter set and I threw it for ages before I learned about plastic types and actually used it for putting. So I now prefer pre-loved PMs to putt with!

    I used to putt with the Luna, but recently switched to Penrose by EV-7 and I instantly became more accurate on the putting green. The bead is a huge factor for me. I also love the Pa-3. The Luna still remains my main throwing putter and is one of my favorite molds ever. I bag it in both Big Z plastic & 6x claw ESP. It just glides for daaayyyyysss!

    I started putting with Luna’s a few months ago. I had putted with Roaches for a couple of years. Then I started having some nasty roll aways and was missing right a lot. So, as any normal disc golfer does, I blamed the disc and decided to switch putters. I liked the shallow, beadless rim of the Roach, so I wanted something similar. I read a comment that the called the Luna a slightly more stable Roach and that sold it for me.

    Thanks for being so clear about what you were struggling with on the Lunas. It's impressive to see such a clear break down of why a putter does or doesn't work for you. I've learned I prefer a blunt nose with a flatter bottom bevel. I've worn out a pair of L64 Zero Hybrid Keystones (limited run, why did I pick griffin discs!?), and I'm trying to decide what to use now. In the running are Retro Keystones and Storm Craters (very different but both with that flatter bevel). How would the Luna compare? Does it have a flatter bevel or something a bit steeper like the Pure/Aviar?

    I love the honesty and transparency you always bring to your videos. I have been trying to make Luna's work for a few months now and finally as of about a week ago, feel like I've turned a page and am seeing great results. I agree it's not for everyone and like a lot of Luna users felt like it if it works for Paul it must be great! It surely isn't a cookie cutter approach to getting good at putting, unfortunately none actually exist, and still even with my recent success am not entirely sold. I think as humans, let alone disc golfers, we fall into the traps of comfort and tend to gravitate towards the devil we know per say instead of branching out. Love that you always encourage curiosity and stepping outside what you imagine your comfort zone to be to find what is truly the best for your individual fit. Would love to get my hands on one of those Luna's but more importantly just wanted to say a long overdue thanks for what you do for a lot of us AMs just trying to gain competitive insights without losing the joy this game brings to our lives!

    I love the Luna because with my slow lofty putts it just falls out of the sky seemingly and that helps me from over shooting a birdie putt I'll end up missing anyhow and gives me an easy par putt. I also really like that it means moon, because like the moon it's round. And that's just straight facts.

Great video with an excellent break down of your testing and reasons why you are making the switch.

    It was a cold, damp morning in Milton, Florida. And by cold and damp of course I mean 89 and humid at 7am, as is tradition in Florida. I was wearing Vans with no shoelaces because I didn't plan on playing disc golf that day. I didn't even have my bag. But when the call comes in that your friends are about to tee off you have to go. We were on hole 13. I don't know what my score was but it was way... way over par. At this point I've over drove the basket and I'm now in a ditch about 15' past and 7' below. There are trees blocking most of my view but there is a small enough window that I could have a chance. My friend hands me his grey Luna. She's a little rough around the edges but feels right. I load up at the knees knowing my legs will have to help send her home. The release is good. The Luna glides, the Lunda provides. At this time the score doesn't matter. The fact that it is a bogey save means nothing. All that existed was the shot, Luna, and me. I never saw the shot go in but I heard those chains followed by the obscenities of disbelief. I knew what we had done together and it was beautiful. That Luna become mine that day. Luna is Love. Luna is Life.

    I love the Royal Sense plastic! I made the switch to the Faith (deep beadless with a big bevel) after trying the Agent, and wanted something that was definitely going to have production. But that grip from the plastic, with that firmness underneath it, is just great! Great video Robbie, and I know I'd MUCH rather see you banging putts in with that confidence you have in that great putting stroke than shaking your head in these videos when it goes off the band or the cage.

    The Luna is like the perfect all-season tire. It gives you solid performance all year around. You can drive with it and putt with it. It handles cold, wind, and rain. I also like the fact that it isn’t too deep and lacks a bead. While I have mostly used the special blend and rubber blend for putting, I have 3 CT ones that have almost made me change to using the CT. If I could get a few more CT, I probably would make the switch.

    I'm a natural spin putter and started my disc golf journey with the Discraft Roach. It took me about a year and a half to notice the glide was too much for my spin and got really good at missing high right. I then decided to give the Luna a shot. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with the Luna's accuracy and consistent flight. The Luna gives me the confidence to send circle 2 putts without worrying about the putt back. High and right is becoming a thing of the past and the Luna finally helped me shoot under par. I currently own 1 big Z Luna, 1 ESP Luna, and 5 rubber blend Lunas. Thanks for the awesome content Robbie! Your videos are way better than any disc in the market.

    I love the Luna because it was the first putter I bought when I got into disc golf (honestly for the hype) and I loved it as I have smaller hands it not being super deep putter and I don’t like beads on my putters so it fits nice in my hand. Also being a spiny push putter it’s great and I can zip it and try to give it a good run from far away and still have confidence. The plastic also nice as it’s not to slick for me and also not super gummy like say a jawbreaker. Bonus that first Luna I bought is now so beat in that it’s one of my throwing putters and it glides for days (when I throw it right).

    Well, to be honest, my reasoning is differennt. The meaning of "Luna" is "Moon", for those that don't know. Since i struggle with distance, i have to make up for that on the dance floor. So, my goal when stepping onto the course is to putt "OUT OF THIS WORLD." The Luna feels good in the hand, it feels like a have a piece of the moon and i'm sending it to its home solar system; The basket. Mine are getting pretty beat up and would love to use your Luna's in my own 'atmosphere." Love the content, Robbie. It has bee really helpful.

    The Luna is a pretty sweet disc, but I've never bagged one. My buddy is actually the reason I'd like to win a stack because I'd just give them to him. He's the one who introduced me to disc golf in the first place, and he lost his only Luna a while back. He was talking about making the switch to putt with them, but said they were way too expensive (true) and then lost his only one, so it just kind of died out. Giving him a nice stack of Robbie C Lunas would at least show him some of my appreciation for him introducing me to the game of disc golf and showing me the ropes when I was still learning. Whether I win or not, just wanted to say keep on keeping on Robbie. I don't get out in the Birmingham tournament scene much, but when I do I usually see you there & you're always bringing good vibes.

    I don't buy discs too often, I'd been using a couple old DX Aviars for years that were too light and would fly off with the slightest breeze, and a Vibram putter which was super overstable which is great for windy days but fades really hard. I picked up a Penny Putter by Lone Star in glow plastic and it's been perfect for me. Nice glide and a gentle fade and durable.

    Over the past 2 years I've been working on my game extensively. Mostly with the help of youtube content much like you put out. I swapped to the Luna earlier this year to just try something different. I was putting with KC Pro Aviars myself when I first started playing because it was the first disc to feel decent in my hand. I found that the bead on the Aviar was actually causing me some issues as it would almost stick to my index or even at times my pinky finger. It would just catch enough to cause my putt to be thrown way off to the right, and as a push putter, nothing upsets me more than missing left/right. I tried a few other putters before making my way to the Luna, but once I put on in my hand and started putting with it, I don't know if I'll ever try another putter in my hands. That reliable drop you talked about was the #1 factor for me. I can't tell you how many times I hit band with my Aviars. Where my release point is and the amount of pop that I put on the disc, the Luna is just absolutely perfect for my game. Not to mention I've hit some absolute banger C2/C3 putts with this thing, I've increased my jump putting range by at least 30ft thanks to these discs. Am I the best putter in the world? No. Am I consistent? No. But the Luna will forever have a place in my bag.
