Flight Chart by Skill Level

#2 Hookshot Flight Path for Beginners

Beginners will find the #2 Hookshot to be a stable-to-overstable option. Expect a straight initial push with light turn potential followed by a strong fade. It’s reliable for hyzer shots, approach control, and windy-day situations. While the turn rating of –1 gives new players some help getting the disc to turn, the fade of 3 ensures it finishes left consistently for RHBH players.

#2 Hookshot Flight Path for Intermediate Players

Intermediate players can unlock the Hookshot’s workable flight shape—capable of slight hyzer-flips, controlled turnovers that still fade back, and sweeping hyzers that carry forward with glide. Many reviewers noted how well it performs as a wind-fighting fairway driver, especially in NXT plastic. It’s great for shaping wooded-course lines or forcing dependable fade when space is tight.

#2 Hookshot Flight Path for Advanced Players

Advanced throwers will appreciate the Hookshot’s utility-driver properties. With higher power, the disc shows a touch of flip before delivering a reliable, forceful finish. It shines for spike hyzers, flex forehands, low-ceiling approaches, and skip shots. Experienced players often choose it as a controllable, slower alternative to very overstable fairway drivers.

#2 Hookshot Flight Path for Forehand Throwers

The #2 Hookshot performs very well forehand thanks to its beadless feel, moderate rim width, and strong fade. FH players will find it excellent for flex lines, windy-day control, and approaches that need to pan out reliably. Reviewers consistently praised its predictable forehand stability, even in lighter weights.
