Blackout

Overview

The Doomsday Discs Blackout is a control driver with official flight numbers 8 | 5 | –2 | 1. Designed as an understable fairway driver, the Blackout delivers long glide, clean turnover lines, and easy distance for lower arm speeds. Reviewers consistently highlight its smooth flight path and reliable shaping across multiple plastics, though stability can vary slightly by run and blend.

Flight Chart for Intermediate Players

• Throwers reaching 300+ feet with a speed-8 driver will see the Blackout’s intended flight numbers.
• On a flat release: a gentle turn to the right, then light fade.
• On a hyzer-flip: a dead-straight flight path with excellent glide.
• Nose-up or higher throws will increase the finishing fade.

Flight Chart for Advanced Players

• Behaves as a turnover machine for higher power throwers.
• Flips up quickly and tracks right (RHBH) on flat or hyzer releases.
• Rarely fades back unless thrown high or nose-up.
• Excellent for controlled turnovers, long anhyzers, and glide-heavy placement shots.

Flight Chart for Forehand Throws

• Tends to fly more understable on forehand than backhand across all skill levels.
• Often shows early turn out of the hand (RHFH), followed by a moderate fade at the end.
• Best for touch forehands and turnover lines; very powerful forehands may find it too flippy for straight-to-fade shots.

Stability Notes

Marketed as understable. Beginners may see stable-to-slightly overstable flights, while experienced players get easy hyzer-flips and turnovers. Plastics like Fatal and Biohazard can feel firmer or grippier; recycled blends (e.g., Landfill, Toxic Waste) often fly a bit flippier. Some run-to-run variance is normal, so individual Blackouts may drift straighter or turn more aggressively.

Puttheads Notes

• Sneaky long for a speed-8 thanks to strong glide.
• Highly workable for line shaping; forgiving for newer players.
• Forehands tend to see more turn than the numbers suggest.
