It's a little see-through, it stays firm enough to feel consistent in hot and cold weather, and it has just enough give in the flight plate to grip well. Some Spores come in Soft Neo, which is the same look and grip but noticeably gummier. That makes it easy to catch and helps it stick closer to where it lands instead of skipping. Both hold their flight well over time, and since the Spore mostly gets thrown soft, it takes a lot less punishment than your drivers.

The Spore stands 2.3 cm tall with a 1.6 cm rim depth, a skinny 0.9 cm rim and a small bead on the underside of the rim, so it feels more like a lid than a normal putter. That depth is a big part of why it floats so straight at low speed.

Neo is a premium plastic, so it holds its flight well, and a disc that mostly gets thrown softly takes less of a beating than your drivers do.
