I'm a turbo putter so when I saw your post I had to check this thing out. I would love to get this thing and try it out, but I'm a little afraid I'll love it and get so use to it and then wouldn't know what to do if I was in a tournament since it's banned by pdga. From what I read its soft rubbery and very grippy so that should answer your questions. If you get one post how it works out.

The ones that I have felt are pretty stiff but grippy as well. Not floppy or anything. They're very overstable though.

Didn't Gateway press a few proto Wizards and Warlocks in the same plastic? It was like pink eraser, but a little firmer.

I have some eraser wizards, and they're different than the Turbo Putters from what I recall. Actually, I'm not sure if I've ever felt a plastic blend quite like whatever they made those things out of.

If they banned the Turbo-Putter disc Quest should put out a disc made of the same material, the Twin Turbo.

I thought it was legal for a year, then banned, then made legal again but I could be wrong.

That swirl on the bottom of the disc is a great idea for turbo putting, this should be put on another putter with a different rim. The Turbo Swirl.

They can make the disc any way they want. It just can't be PDGA approved with those characteristics like the swirl or scalloped edge.

Right before the injection stage they dumped in a bucketful of ground-up Wheaties.
