#2 Roller

Lightning #2 Roller Flight Chart

The Lightning #2 Roller is a specialty fairway driver built to carve long roller lines and controlled turnover shots. With flight numbers of 6 | 6 | -2 | 2, it features high glide, easy turn, and a moderate finishing fade—ideal for players who want a disc that flips, rolls, and keeps moving. Its beadless profile and lightweight Sure Grip and Loonar Glow plastics add to its accessibility for beginners while still offering utility for experienced players who rely on ground-game precision.

Flight Path Overview for Newer Players

Beginners will find the #2 Roller to be quite understable in the air. Expect early turn on backhand throws and long-tracking right movement (RHBH). This makes it a workable choice for learning turnover shots or experimenting with early-stage rollers, especially in open fairways. Because of the glide rating of 6, even low-power players can get extended carry before it moves into its gentle fade.

How Intermediate Players Can Shape the Flight

Intermediate players gain access to the disc’s true character: long-tracking turnover flights and dependable roller angles. Thrown flat, the #2 Roller flips to the right smoothly and holds its turning line for a long stretch. When angled down, it easily transitions into long-distance rollers that navigate grass, dirt, and uneven ground. The slight fade helps it finish with predictability once it loses momentum.

Advanced Player Flight Numbers & Performance Notes

Stronger throwers will flip this disc effortlessly and can manipulate it into laser-straight rollers, tall-grass cut rollers, or sweeping turnover hyzer-flips. The combination of high glide and built-in turn makes it dangerous for tight fairways where an airborne disc might fade too soon. Because the –2 turn is so workable, advanced players often use this mold as a “touch roller disc” for stand-still plays or technical utility shots.

Forehand Roller & Utility Shot Breakdown

Forehand users will appreciate the moderate rim width and beadless feel. While too understable for full-power forehand flights for many players, it shines as a short-to-midrange forehand roller disc. Snap it with a controlled angle and the #2 Roller stands up quickly and tracks straight before tailing off gently. It’s an excellent tool for escaping trouble, hitting narrow ground lines, or shaping placement-focused forehand rollers.
