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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSpeed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGlide\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eTurn\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eFade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Butte delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe \"Brick\" Flight:\u003c\/strong\u003e With a 1-speed and 1-glide rating, this disc actively wants to get to the ground.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Butte Fits in the Meridian Lineup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVs the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/meridian-discs-marbled-clarus-butte\" title=\"Meridian Marbled Clarus Butte Product Page\"\u003eMarbled Clarus Butte\u003c\/a\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Same mold and flight numbers in firm Marbled Clarus plastic with color flecks, the most durable Butte.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVs the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/meridian-trench\" title=\"Meridian Trench Collection Hub\"\u003eMeridian Trench\u003c\/a\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Trench (4 | 3 | 0 | 4) is a flat-top, very overstable approach disc.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Butte good for putting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile you certainly can putt with it, the Butte is mostly an approach disc.
