Vibram VP disc golf putter
68Vibram disc golf putter
The Vibram company has been making rubber soles for boots with the yellow octagon for 72 years. The Vibram soles have been to the top of Everest and K2, and to the top of most of the rest of the highest mountains in the world. They are also the soles of most all the top work boots sold. Recently Vibram has decided to get into the disc golf disc business, with the putter being their first entry into the tough market.
Vibram is located in North Brookfield Mass. They decided it was time to get into the disc golf business with a new putter. Unlike most disc golf discs, the Vibram disc is made of rubber instead of the traditional plastic. The putter is made with a new material called X link rubber. The rubber is said to be long lasting, more consistent and has better gripping in all weather conditions. The launch for the new putter was held at the Vibram open on Aug 14-16 at Maple Hill in Leicester, Mass.

Th price for the X link rubber putter is a bit higher than standard plastic discs because the manufacturing costs are higher. The Vibram putters are said to resist scuffing, denting and warping, resulting in what one field tester said "is the best driving putter ever".
I have personally talked to several players that have used the disc. The ones I have talked to said the disc feels good and flies good, but is it really bouncy when it hits the basket and has a hard time staying in on some shots.
The Vibram X link putter is a flat top putter. It has a tall profile and a beaded bottom. It comes with the yellow Vibram logo set into the top of the disc. You can get it at Gotta go Gotta gotta throw for $15.95.
Vibram currently offers 5 putter and approach discs, and 2 fairway drivers.

Review on the disc so far
I have read a few reviews from players who have tried it. They say it is pretty over stable. Not floppy at all. Has a good grip. Is the most over stable putter on the market. The glide is similar to the K.C Aviar. Very good in the wind. I hear that it putts great, but is bouncy,and comes out of the basket easily.
Word is Vibram has an under stable putter in testing.
