    This putter has the reputation of being the disc James Conrad threw in on hole 18 at the 2021 World Championships for the "holy shot." It's widely known as one of the best throwing putters ever made, and works well for putting as well. Brand new, this disc sports some fade at the end of its flight, but will beat in very nicely to fly dead straight. This disc will hold any line and take as much power as you can give it, all while being a masterful approach disc for touch shots. The profile is a little thinner, and as a 3 speed putter, will fly faster and a little further than many other putters.

    With his new sponsorship, Eagle McMahon will now utilize the Envy as one of his team series discs.

    My favorite of all the discs I've thrown so far. A fantastic putter for upshots that seems to hit the mark very consistently for me. Started out moderately overstable and has since beaten in to a nice, consistent, gentle fade and has shown no signs of changing anymore. Super easy to predict and shape both hyzers and flex shots with. The proton plastic is holding up excellently after a couple of months.

    I also really love the profile and how it feels in my hand, so much so that I might try one in electron to putt with. Truly a fantastic putter in every regard.

    My favorite disc. Been throwing it for two months or so and have loved every minute of it. Started out moderately OS and gradually beat in to a nice mild-but-predictable fade. This change could also be attributed to an improvement in my technique getting more spin, though, so hard to really tell I suppose. In any case, it's my go-to disc for controlled upshots and shorter hyzers. In proton, it can be prone to the skipping on some surfaces when brand new, but this quality has reduced over time.

    Summary: A slower approach disc that's overstable, but not a Zone clone.

    Feel: I think Proton plastic may have the best of both worlds. The overmold being a more base plastic for beating in nicely, and the flight plate being premium feels great for throwing. The Envy is a little deeper than what's comfortable for a putting putter, so you may prefer to use the Envy as a thrower. 

    Flight: The Envy in Proton plastic is a bit more overstable than baseline. Axiom knows this and changes the flight numbers based on plastic as you may notice. It's straight for 80% of the flight but fades always. It's got great torque resistance to be able to be thrown off the tee.

    I have only been playing for about half a year at this point and playing pretty heavily wooded courses, but the Proton Envy has improved my game drastically. Since I still have a lower arm speed and am working on my form, I primarily use lower speed discs (p&a and midranges). I was not very satisfied with the low speed discs I started out with (DX Aviar, DX Shark), because I didn't find them to be very comfortable to throw and I turned them over easily. The Envy, on the other hand, was surprisingly comfortable in the hand, despite its unique shape, and has a very smooth, straight flight with a little fade. It is also an incredibly versatile disc for my game. I often use it to drive shorter and downhill holes and it is my go-to approach disc. For my purposes, I find that it pairs nicely with the R-Pro Pig and that those two discs together cover a lot of the situations I have been in. I have made all of my friends who are also new to the sport try it out, and they all have agreed that this is a great disc.

    This is the best throwing putter I have come across. I got a few of these several years ago and they are in several stages of wear. I have one that is nice and flippy that wont turn and burn but hold an Ani very well and fly for days. I have a newer one that can be trusted in wind to hold the line no matter how much heat I put on it. 

    The Envy is also a decent putting putter especially if you dont like deep putters

    Absolutely amazing disc. I highly recommend.

    Proton Envy

    Currently my most used throwing putter. Stable flight but does beat in to a more straight flight after enough throws. However, what I love about MVP plastic is the long durability for a new disc. As you probably guess by the numbers, flight is straight with a soft fade at the end if thrown low and straight. It will come out of a forced turn but the fade on mine is not strong enough to use it as a forced flex disc. For this reason it is very workable, especially when it is more seasoned. But, I still do not use it for my "dead straight" and slight turnover throwing putters. Mine is too stable for those softer touch shots.

    Plenty of glide, feels great BH and FH, and the numbers are spot on. If you get your angles right you can use it in moderate head winds as well. Overall, excellent throwing and approach putter.

    This is THE putter. I bought one as my first putter. I've tried other putters, from big name, really popular putters, to small time "it was in the discount bin" putters, all types. Nothing - and I mean NOTHING - performs like my envy. I use my hard electron envy for practically every putt that I take, as well as for maneuverability in heavily wooded areas. Out of my entire bag, that disc has the most miles on it, by far. Short wooded hole? That's the only disc that I use for the entire hole. You know that a disc is good when someone's first reaction to you losing one in a tree is "oh, thank god," until you pull a backup one out of your bag. It's also incredibly durable. I've launched this thing into tree trunks and rocks on a few occasions, with very little to show for it.

    Fantastic throwing putter, you'll be surprised by how far you can get this out. It holds up to power extremely well and exhibits surprising glide. The rim is not too deep so you can really get a solid grip on it while throwing. I'd highly suggest this disc to anybody who is practicing throwing putters as it is very true to form and release, and it's something that you will certainly find a spot in your bag for.

    I love this disc for approaches. I do not get a lot of fade off of this and find it super floaty when approaching. Goes where you throw it, stops well. 

    As a driving putter, I have found this one does not have enough glide. Imagine this would be good into the wind but have not had the opportunity yet. 

    As a putter, I like it. I use it in the wind and it holds the line well.

    All around great utility disc.

    I personally consider the the Envy a slower Buzzz. I feel confident using this disc from the tee from 250 ft. Or less. It won't turn over like alot of other putters will. This disc recently produced my first ace as well on a 205 foot hole! If your looking for a putt and APPROACH disc you can't go wrong trying the Envy.

    Review for a proton envy: 

    I love my proton envy. It is one of the best all around putters that I have ever tried. I can drive with it, push putt, spin putt, and throw upshots with it. It does everything perfectly. It is slightly overstable and very torque resistant for a putter. It is the most shallow putter I have ever felt. This makes the disc feel great in my small hands. It is flat topped too, so it feels great for driving. The lack of a bead makes driving easier too. All in all, this is just an amazing disc. The only reason I put it as only somewhat beginner friendly is because of its overstablilty. It is easy to throw for beginners but you can doo better. If you want a disc that feels similar but is more understable, try a colt.

    Speed: This disc is definitely a 3 speed. It is slow but it goes far for a putter.

    Glide: This disc glides very well. 3 might be an understatement. I would give it a 4 glide.

    Turn: Until it is beaten in well, my envy would not even think of flipping off the tee. It is not a super overstable disc, but it isn´t flippy either.

    Fade: This disc fades softly at the end. A 2 fade is accurate.

    Review for a proton envy:

    I love my proton envy so much. I saw it was one of the highest rated putters and decided to check it out. I love it. It is the shallowest putter I have ever felt so it fits perfectly in my smaller hands. It has no bead so it feels great for driving and putting. It is one of my favorite driving putters. I can rip on it and it still gives me a nice straight flight. Putting with it, I can spin putt this disc very easily since it is such a shallow disc. There is not much else I can say that hasn´t been said already. The reason I rate it as somewhat beginner friendly is because it is somewhat overstable and as a beginner you can do better. A very beginner friendly disc that feels similar is the innova colt.

    Speed: This disc is definitely a 3 speed. It is easy to throw.

    Glide: This disc glides very well. It just flies far. A 3 glide is accurate.

    Turn: A new envy will not turn at all. Only a well beat envy will turn. A 0 turn is acurate.

    Fade: This disc is rated as a 2 fade. I think that is accurate. The fade makes this disc respnd well to higher power.

    As soon as I bought this disc I loved it. It is a wonderful approach disc for beginner players. My disc is now pretty beat in and am looking to purchase another Envy in a sturdier plastic. 5/5 rating

    To  preface. I have thrown every flavor of Envy. But for this review I will focus on my favorite: Proton.

    The ultimate stable driving putter. Crazy long for a putter, bordering on midrange distance. You can absolutely rip on this disc and as long as you're pretty clean it will stay true to the angle you release it on. But it will always have some fight on the end. In fact, the fade is oddly consistent. No matter how hard you throw it, it has the same solid, but not dumpy, fade.

    In fact, to get the best out of the Envy on approaches you need great angle control because it wont fade out extra on softer throws  If you want more of a hyzer, put it on the angle you want and trust it. This, along with it having more range than a typical putter, means there is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to approaches with this disc. But once you have it dialed in, it is a deadly tool.

    Perhaps the best disc made by the MVP company - certainly the best with the Axiom label. It can be used for pretty much everything - putting, approach... even off the tee! It holds the line you put on it, is a point and shoot disc, and works pretty well in the various plastics and weights. I like it best for shorter holes off the tee, and laser approach shots.

    Oh boy, this is the best driving putter I've used. I've thrown Wizard, Judge, Aviary, Aviar3, etc but the Proton Envy is the one. It's closer to a speed 3 IMO and has great glide. It is high speed stable and has a great fade. I can rip it and it flies straight and fades at low speeds. I recommend this as a driving putter but not as a putting putter but it drives like crazy!!

    I bought my lime green Proton Envy on Ebay less than 2 months ago and it had a 174 gram sticker on the bottom. I played with it for a while and put it on a digital scale and it weighed in at a whopping 178.6 grams.

    I use this disc for EVERY approach shot that I take under 250 ft. I enjoy playing a lot of wooded courses here in Michigan and this is the disc I reach for 90%+ of the time.

    If I was being held at gunpoint and the person wanted all of the discs in my bag, I'd reach in it and pull out my overweight Envy and hand him the bag, explaining that if he wanted the disc in my hand he would have to murk me for it.

    An update to my post a couple months ago.

    the envy is my guilty pleasure. I mean it really has cause me to remove half of my midranges. Which makes me feel bad almost but I can do really every shot I need to with this disc that's with in the 250' mark. When I throw it people's jaws drop when i tell them it was the envy putter, specially when they see me flick it for 200' baskets and park it right under neath. But even when going for 30-40 ft putts it is crazy Reliable.  Just aim a little to the right (RHBH) for the fade and it will drop right on in. 

    I truly can't recommend this disc enough to my friends. But after they see what I can do it with it they always want to go buy one. 

    *I really recommend people to learn how to flick approach with putters. It really opens up some new playing styles and can improve their game and the envy is a great disc for that. Just release it from a hyzer, don't try to kill and with some practice it will work beautifully.

    Love the envy. Simply a disc that does what it's supposed to across the board and feels good doing it. I bag a proton watermelon envy, mainly for short approach shots and straight to slightly over stable tee shots. It's definitely a good disc for me to keep when it's just too windy for the ion.

    I ordered this disc off of Infinite Discs and got it in an awesome highlighter yellow proton plastic with a white rim. The looks on this disc are awesome. I got this disc to become my approach disc and driving putter. It has filled that spot perfectly. I have made 300' drives with this thing parking it underneath the basket. But where this disc really shines is in the flick approach. When I need a low lying shot of from a 50'-100' I can give the envy a nice flick and it will go where i want, sometimes over shooting the target.

    The down side... The proton plastic i got this disc in is super slick and when throwing RHBH it will occasionally slip from my hand. But as the disc brakes in I'm sure that will begin to go away.
