The Discraft Fierce is a 3-speed understable putt & approach. With published flight numbers of 3 / 4 / -2 / 0, it is most often described as suited for understable turnover approaches, straight, glidey putts that hold the chains' line.
Overview
The Discraft Fierce is a straight-flying, understable putter with official flight numbers of 3 / 4 / -2 / 0 and a stability rating of 0.0.[1] It was designed together with Paige Pierce as a small-diameter putter with a good hand feel for players of all sizes — it is beadless, with a grippy rubber-blend plastic.[1][3] The Fierce demonstrates straight flights with effortless glide and excels at understable turnover approaches.[1] PDGA specs list a 21.1 cm diameter, 1.9 cm height, and 175.1 g maximum weight.[2]
Flight characteristics
Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.
Recommended uses
The Fierce is at its best as a putting putter and touch-approach disc: its high glide means putts need little effort to reach the basket, and its -2 turn opens up turnover approach lines that stable putters can't hold.[1][3] The smaller diameter makes it especially comfortable for players with smaller hands.[1] It is offered in hard and soft rubber-blend Putter Line versions, with weights running roughly 141–174 g including lightweight options for developing players.[1][4]
Best for:
- Understable turnover approaches
- Straight, glidey putts that hold the chains' line
- Putter for smaller hands that need a smaller-diameter grip
- Low-power straight drives for beginners
Community notes — how players actually use this disc
Plastics & variants
The Fierce is available in the following plastic blends from Discraft:[1]
Putter Line (Hard), Putter Line (Soft)
Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.
History
The Fierce was PDGA-approved on January 30, 2020 (certification 20-08)[2] as the first disc in Discraft's Paige Pierce signature line, developed with the five-time PDGA Women's World Champion herself.[1][3] It became the preferred putting putter of Pierce and has been released in dedicated Paige Pierce runs, including Tour Series and First Run editions.[3][4] Alongside the Fierce, the Pierce line grew to include other signature molds, cementing Discraft's strategy of athlete-designed discs following its blockbuster Paul McBeth line.[3]
