Discraft Swarm Disc Review

The Discraft Swarm is a reliably overstable midrange built for control in all conditions. With a Speed 5, Glide 3, Turn 0, Fade 4 profile, it holds straight under power and then finishes hard every time. Players who want a wind-fighting, point-and-shoot mid that won’t drift right (RHBH) will love the Swarm for approach shots, forehands, and confident hyzers.

Quick Flight Numbers

Why Throw It

• Trustworthy finish: the 0 turn and strong 4 fade give a predictable left hook (RHBH) that won’t flip, even in wind.
• Wind control: Glide 3 keeps the nose from sailing long, making distances easier to land near the pin on blustery days.
• Forehand-friendly: Speed 5 with neutral high-speed stability resists wobble and holds the line before a reliable dump.
• Placement-first approaches: the lower glide helps you aim, hit your landing zone, and avoid dangerous long skips.
• Utility on tight lines: throw it on hyzer to carve corners or flex it to shape controlled S‑curves without risking turn-and-burn.

Who It Fits

• Beginners: great as a utility disc for windy approach shots and sure-fire hyzers; not a max-distance mid.
• Intermediate: dependable overstable mid for forehands and 200–300 ft placements where you need a hard finish.
• Advanced: torque-tolerant workhorse for headwinds, skip approaches, and forced-fade line shaping.

Shot Ideas

• Spike hyzer: lean on the 4 fade—aim high and wide to crash near the target with minimal glide carry.
• Flat forehand into a headwind: the 0 turn keeps it from drifting right; expect a straight push and a sharp, reliable dump.
• Controlled flex: release on a slight anhyzer; the strong fade will pull it out late for a tight S‑curve around obstacles.
• Low skip hyzer: keep it flat-to-hyzer at knee height for a penetrating skip finish to tucked pins.
• Standstill punch-outs: Speed 5 and Glide 3 let you commit from a standstill without sailing long—perfect in the woods.
