I believe Kat Mertsch bags the pig as well as Hailey King on the FPO side. It would be nice to see a new signature run in Star or at least regular Pro.
I have 5 of them and have been bagging the Pig since 2019. I bought a 2019 Ricky Pig on an impulse buy in a pro shop and have bagged one ever since. I guess I don't use them as much, because I only swap them out every couple years. 1 of the 5 I bought and haven't used, and another was found on a course and the person never responded to my text. The most recent one is a Gummy Champ Pig and I just haven't had the heart to use it - it's so beautiful!
I used to love the pig but the lack of premium flat pigs ultimately pushed me toward the zone. It’s hard to beat a Z Zone especially when they are so readily available.
Don’t know if it was just me, but the Halo seemed like it had more glide than the R Pro. Even if the durability is on par with the pigs you’re used to I’m curious how it will beat in with that extra glide
I have an OLD R-pro pig that's been in my bag for at least 6 years now and is still plenty overstable. A new glow pro was similar stability, but quickly beat in to fly too straight for what I want a pig for.
Got a dark blue one today. Noticeably domier and stiffer. The hand feel is good. Overall I agree with your assessment. It definitely is stable but I find the dome also gives it more glide. I have pigs that were stamped 3 speed as well as 4 speed. This definitely flies more like a mid/approach than a throwing putter. I’m stoked with it and can’t wait to see what it seasons into…
I have a Sundried Vibes Pig that I absolutely wear out, probably had it for the past two seasons, going into three. It still flies exactly like a Pig. Those discs are amazing!
Robbie, you have to try the Gateway Apache in the OG Evolution plastic. It’s a 10-speed that’s 0 turn/2 fade, but HOLY COW can you rip on it for such a long straight shot.

I’ve been using the halo pig since I got them. I really like them but only use them for short approach shots, and some putts on windy days. I find them more predictable than r pro in my hands. Admittedly I can’t throw far and I’m very new so we’ll see what happens as I improve my game and distance. But for now I’m thoroughly enjoying the reliability that the Pegg has in halo when the wind wants to carry everything else away
Been beating the crap out of my glow pro pig for about a year and it's held up great. Only gripe is the grip that's lacking. Just ordered a halo nexus pig as impulsively as I could. Thought it was halo star until I reread my order lol. Hopefully it holds up well. Also bag an esp zone but I like the pig as it glides and skips less for those forehand shots
Got out and threw mine today and its feels/flys no different than kc glow pig or nexus glow pig, more beef than r-pro but not by much. WE NEED CHAMP PIGS IN STOCK. NO HALO NO STAR JUST GIVE US CHAMP PLEASE!!!!!!
I bag both the envy and the pig, I tend to throw the pig for overstable tee shots and some upshot’s. I use my envy 80% more than my pig so the standard r pro lasts me quite a while personally. I can definitely see if it’s used for most tee shots how durability can be a factor
Man i took boiling water and weighted my gummy champ pig and its super flat now! Its seriously one if my favorite discs i aced twice in like 3 days with it! I guess its theoretically "modifying" but i do this w/ all my overstable approach discs that i want to be flat. Also did it with a halo toro and it was significantly more overstable afterward, which was also quite desirable for me personally!
It makes me throw up in my mouth Watching other people throw putters forehand😂 I'm a dominant forehand thrower and as soon as the disc is thicker than a zone, I turn special
Robbie, how you like those Adidas Terrex shoes? I was checking these out on the website a few days ago then noticed you were wearing em. Great vid by the way despite not being a Pig thrower myself. Keep up the great content
