DGA Banzai Flight Chart
The DGA Banzai lists flight numbers of 8 | 4 | 0 | 3, making it an overstable fairway/control driver built for wind, torque resistance, and reliable fade. Designed as the overstable complement to the Pipeline, the Banzai shines on controlled drives where you need a straight push followed by a strong, predictable finish—backhand or forehand.
How the Banzai Flight Path Looks for Beginners
For newer players, the Banzai will feel very overstable. Expect a short, straight push out of the hand before an early, forceful fade. It’s not an ideal primary driver for beginners, but it works well as a utility disc for strong hyzer lines, spike hyzers, and skip shots—especially in windy conditions.
Control Driver Flight Chart for Intermediate Players
Intermediate throwers with developing arm speed will see the Banzai fly on a firm, straight-to-hyzer line with virtually no turn. Released flat, it tracks forward then finishes with a dependable dump and potential skip. This makes it great for fairway placement shots in the wind, forced hyzers, and controlled lines where turning over is not an option.
Banzai Flight Numbers in Advanced and Pro Bags
Advanced and pro players can lean into the full 8 | 4 | 0 | 3 flight numbers. With high power, the Banzai resists turn, holds a committed line, and then finishes with a strong, late fade. Many players use it as an overstable Teebird-style disc or a slightly straighter alternative to very OS drivers, ideal for headwind fairway drives, flex lines, and reliable finish angles.
Forehand Flight Path and Utility Lines
The Banzai’s stability and comfortable rim make it a popular forehand choice. On sidearms, it shrugs off torque, flies straight or on a slight hyzer, and finishes hard with skip potential. It’s well-suited for forehand approaches, low-ceiling skip shots, and any line where you need the disc to fight out of anhyzer or wind without flipping.
