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.

  • Shockwave

    Doomsday Discs Shockwave – Flight Chart The Doomsday Discs Shockwave is a massively overstable distance driver with extreme fade and minimal glide, boasting approximate flight numbers of 13 | 1 | 2 | 7.

  • Destroyer

  • Rogue

    DGA Rogue Flight Chart The DGA Rogue is a neutral-stable distance driver with flight numbers 11 | 4 | -1 | 2. It bridges the gap between control and full-distance drivers—long, workable flights with a gentle, reliable finish. In ProLine it tends to fly straighter with lots of glide; SP Line adds durability and a touch more fade for wind and forehand control. Flight Path for Newer Players Developing arms will see straight-to-fade flights and sneaky distance. A light hyzer can flip toward flat and ride forward before a soft finish. Great “first fast driver” once fairways feel short. Flight Chart for Intermediate Throwers Expect workable lines on flat or…

  • Max

    Innova Max Flight Chart The Innova Max is a very overstable distance driver with flight numbers 11 | 3 | 0 | 5. Built for headwinds, spike-hyzers, and force-over lines, the Max pairs a wide rim with minimal glide to deliver fierce, predictable fade. Power throwers lean on it for placement drives and utility shots when control matters more than raw distance. Flight Path for Newer Players The Max is not beginner friendly. At slower speeds it will hyzer out early and feel short. If you’re developing form, consider a slower driver first and treat the Max as a wind-fighter or get-out-of-trouble utility disc. Flight Chart for Intermediate Arms With…

Flight Path for Beginners The Pulse is not designed for beginners. Its overstability and speed require significant arm power—typically 350+ feet of distance—to unlock its intended flight path. For newer players, it will fade early and feel overly stable, better…
