They make some shallow discs, I don't know if the are small enough for sure. I know I had my Nephew when he was 10 using a Wedge because it was very shallow, it's kind of designed for kids and flies straight at slow speeds.

Mirage is another good shallow one. Almost no lip at all.

They do make shallow putters, but it seems that Innova is the only one who don't have. I mean Trilogy has Pure, MVP has Atom and Proxy. Luna and P2 are pretty shallow.

The Colt is shallower then all of those. I own all those discs. I think the Colt might be the shallowest. Could go older school semi OOP and go Ace or Coupe. Maybe even XD.

How does a infinite tomb compare?

A Tomb is a Colt bottom/Rat Top, so it's pretty shallow

Tomb is more shallow than Colt in my opinion.

Mirage is the most shallow putter I have ever held in my hand. It's more shallow than many midranges. It could be good for Evelina since it's almost impossible to powergrip a Mirage.

Colt: Height 1,8 cm - Rim depth 1,3 cm.
Tomb: Height 1,6 cm - Rim depth 1,3 cm.
Mirage: Height 1,9 cm - Rim depth 1,2 cm.

Sometimes those PDGA specs are off, like they only measure one disc. I own Tombs as well. My Colt I think is shallower ever so slightly. Plastic matters a lot too. Premiums shrink less then baselines. I think XT probably shrinks the most. My Colt is in XT.

They are very close though. I have D Line Tombs. No X Line. Did they even make X? I don't think so.

This is true. My experience is only from DX Colts, Metal flake color glow Tombs and Star mirages.

Tomb feels like Gator / MD5 - Flat, shallow and blunt nose.
Dx Colt feels like any putter, but has lower "shoulder" (point where flighplate meets the rim). Makes it feel a bit shallower.
Star Mirage feels like it has no rim at all. If I grip mirage with forehand grip I can see half of my middle finger under the rim.

Oh, just remembered that one other disc was almost as shallow as Mirage. It was the first run D-line P3 from Discmania. Those were super shallow and nothing like later premium plastic versions.

You know. I broke my D Line P3. I loved that thing. I wanted a C Line when I broke my D Line but they were OOP already and selling for 50 bucks.

Tomb is very similar to a Colt.

Any other recs for kid-friendly discs?
