Distance Drivers

    Distance drivers are designed for maximum distance — but only if you have the arm speed to match. More than any other disc type, distance driver flight paths depend on how fast you can throw. Most high-speed drivers require a launch speed of at least 50 mph to achieve their intended flight numbers and full glide potential.

    If you throw slower than that, these discs will tend to fade early or fly more overstable than the numbers suggest. Use our interactive flight charts to compare how each driver behaves at different power levels, and find the one that truly fits your throwing speed.
