Discraft Glide – Understable Fairway Driver for Effortless Turnovers
The Discraft Glide lives up to its name, delivering smooth, understable flights with tons of glide. With flight ratings of 6 | 5 | -3 | 2, this fairway driver is perfect for players seeking a disc that naturally turns right (RHBH) and stays aloft with minimal effort. Its flight is ideal for long anhyzers, standstill throws, and shaping creative lines through technical fairways.
Though classified as a fairway driver, newer players often get maximum distance out of the Glide thanks to its easy turn and prolonged air time. Experienced throwers will love it for finesse hyzer-flips and low-speed turnovers. The Glide is available in Discraft’s highly durable Z Line plastic, making it a great option for players who want a long-lasting, understable control driver in their bag.
