Meridian Discs Marbled Graphite Butte

Meridian Discs Marbled Graphite Butte 1 | 1 | 0 | 1

The Marbled Graphite Butte is Meridian's ultra-low glide approach putter in their grippy Marbled Graphite plastic. It falls out of the air right where you aim it, and the raised thumb track and slight puddle top give you a deep, secure grip for backhand approaches and torque-heavy forehand flicks.

Flight Numbers

At 1 | 1 | 0 | 1, the Butte is about as slow as a disc gets. The 1 speed and 1 glide mean it falls out of the air exactly when you want it to instead of sailing past the basket, the 0 turn keeps it from turning over on a firm throw, and the 1 fade gives it a short, soft finish. It has a raised thumb track around the top edge and a slight puddle top, so it sits deep and secure in your hand.

The Butte delivers:

• The "Brick" Flight: With a 1-speed and 1-glide rating, this disc actively wants to get to the ground. Throw it right at the pin and watch it drop, preventing long comebacker putts.
• Forehand Approach Control: The puddle top and thumb track create a comfortable resting place for your thumb, making it very torque-resistant for flick approaches.
• Wind Resistance: Because it lacks glide, the wind has very little to lift or push, making it reliable in breezy conditions.

It excels at:

• Approach shots that need to stop at the basket
• Sloped greens and death putts
• Forehand flick approaches
• Windy upshots

The Marbled Graphite Plastic Advantage

Marbled Graphite is Meridian's grippy putter plastic, with a marbled swirl through every disc so each one looks different. It feels a little softer than Clarus plastic and grips well in the hand, which helps on putts and in cold weather. It seasons faster than Marbled Clarus, so it starts stable and beats in to fly straighter over time. For a 1-speed approach disc, that grip is a big help on forehands and on cold or damp mornings.

How the Butte Fits in the Meridian Lineup

• Vs the Marbled Clarus Butte: Same mold and flight numbers in firm Marbled Clarus plastic with color flecks, the most durable Butte.
• Vs the Meridian Trench: The Trench (4 | 3 | 0 | 4) is a flat-top, very overstable approach disc. It's faster and fades a lot harder, so grab it for wind and forehands, and the Butte for shots that need to drop and stop.
• Vs the Meridian Mojave: The Mojave (3 | 4 | 0 | 2) is Meridian's stable, beaded throwing putter. It has a lot more glide for putting and putter drives, while the Butte excels in short approaches.
• Vs the Kastaplast Berg: The Berg (1 | 1 | 0 | 2) shares a very similar design and flight. Both are 1-speed, 1-glide approach putters with a prominent thumb track and a puddle top, and the Butte gives you that same brick-like flight in Meridian's marbled plastics.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Meridian Marbled Graphite Butte

How does Marbled Graphite change the Butte?

Marbled Graphite is grippier and a little softer than Marbled Clarus plastic, so it feels great in the hand on forehand flicks. It also seasons faster, so it beats in to a slightly straighter finish over time.

Why does the Butte have a puddle top and thumb track?

The raised thumb track and the indented (puddle) flight plate serve two purposes. First, they remove glide, so the disc drops quickly. Second, they create a pocket for your thumb, giving you a secure, consistent grip for both backhands and forehands.

Is the Butte good for putting?

While you certainly can putt with it, the Butte is mostly an approach disc. Because it has almost no glide, putting from the circle edge takes a much firmer, spin-heavy putt than a glidier putter like the Mojave.
