RPM Discs Takapu Disc Review

RPM Discs Takapu Disc Review

If you're after a reliable, stable putter that feels great in hand and performs just as well off the tee as it does in the circle, the RPM Discs Takapu is well worth a look. Proudly made in New Zealand, the Takapu is the kind of disc that can quietly become your go-to, whether you're sinking putts or shaping up a short approach. Check out Max’s video review.

Flight Numbers & Stability

The Takapu comes in with flight numbers of 2 / 3 / 0 / 2, making it a slightly overstable putter that leans toward control and reliability. In practice, that means a nice straight flight with a predictable fade at the end. It holds its line well in the wind and doesn’t get pushed around like some flippier putters can. While it’s not designed to be a glide-heavy floaty putter, it shines when you want something that won’t turn over and will reliably finish on a hyzer.

This stability also makes the Takapu a solid choice for spin putters and push putters alike. It responds well to both styles and doesn’t require a power-heavy throw to get moving. Off the tee, you’ll also find that it handles a decent amount of torque without flipping, which gives it some nice versatility as a throwing putter.

Plastics and Feel

One of the big draws of RPM Discs is the variety and quality of their plastic blends—and the Takapu is no exception. It’s available in:

  • Cosmic: RPM’s premium plastic, durable with a slightly gummy feel. Ideal for throwing.
  • Atomic: Premium, slightly grippier than Cosmic, and excellent in all weather conditions.
  • Magma: Their base putter plastic, offered in Soft, Medium, and Hard stiffness. Perfect for putting comfort and grip.

For those who like a clean, beadless feel, the Takapu is a win. Its rounded, comfortable profile fits naturally in the hand, and whether you’re snapping it at the chains or powering it up the fairway, it doesn’t fight back.

Comparable Putters

If you’ve thrown other popular putters with similar numbers, the Takapu might feel familiar. Discs that offer a similar flight profile include:

  • Innova Aviar3 (3 / 2 / 0 / 2) 
  • Discmania P2 (2 / 3 / 0 / 1) 
  • Discraft Challenger (2 / 3 / 0 / 2) 

That said, the Takapu stands out with its unique RPM feel, Kiwi design flair, and the exceptional control it offers for both putting and short-range throwing.
