Lightning #3 Hookshot Flight Chart
The Lightning #3 Hookshot is a slow-control driver that often behaves more like a stable midrange. With flight numbers of 4 | 5 | -1 | 2, it offers high glide, workable turn, and a reliable finishing fade. Players note that it holds straight lines with ease, resists moderate wind, and delivers consistent placement throws in the 200–300 foot range. Lighter weights under 170g float in water, making it useful for risky approach shots.
Flight Path for Newer & Developing Players
Beginners will find the #3 Hookshot easy to keep straight thanks to its glide and gentle turn. Expect a slow, floaty forward push with a mild, predictable fade at the end. Great for learning flat releases, shaping early hyzer-flips, and building confidence on 200-foot controlled shots.
Flight Chart Insights for Intermediate Throwers
Intermediate players can get the most out of the Hookshot’s workable -1 turn. Thrown flat, it drifts slightly before finishing left. When powered up, it produces smooth turnover lines that always try to fight back. Its forgiving stability makes it useful for tight fairways, low ceilings, and layup placement shots.
Flight Performance for Advanced Players
Advanced arms can use the #3 Hookshot as a touch-controlled mid-like driver. It excels at straight laser-beam shots, turnover approaches that pan long before fading, and long-glide placement drives. Skilled throwers especially value its ability to hold anhyzer angles without burning into the ground.
Forehand Flight Notes
On forehand throws, the #3 Hookshot is surprisingly workable for its speed. It handles clean, smooth flicks well and provides reliable fade without excessive dumping. Best suited for touch forehands, technical approaches, and shaping soft flex lines.

Putthead Notes
The #3 Hookshot’s classification as a “driver” is misleading—its flight is much closer to a high-glide midrange. It fills a unique space for players who want straight control without needing high power, especially in older Lightning molds.
