CD3

Discmania CD3 Flight Chart

The Discmania CD3 is a control-oriented distance driver with flight numbers of 11 | 5 | -1 | 2. Known for its glide, straight-to-stable flight, and workable power range, the CD3 earned a loyal following before it went out of production. Players praise its ability to handle power without being too demanding, making it an approachable speed-11 driver for intermediate arms and a long-gliding workhorse for advanced throwers. Its combination of turn and reliable fade gives it excellent shot-shaping potential whether thrown backhand or forehand.

Flight Path for Newer Players

Beginners and developing throwers will find the CD3 challenging due to its speed, but not unmanageable. Expect a modest high-speed turn followed by a reliable fade, often producing a smooth sweeping hyzer line. Players without 300+ feet of power will see the disc finish early, but still appreciate its controllability compared to other high-speed drivers.

CD3 Flight Numbers in the Hands of Intermediate Players

Intermediate throwers experience the CD3 as a straight-flying distance driver with late fade. Its -1 turn allows for a gentle flip when thrown flat, helping achieve distance without forcing an anhyzer. Reviewers consistently note its balance of glide and predictability—making it ideal for long pushes down the fairway while staying accurate in both open lines and light-woods shaping.

Advanced Player Flight Path Breakdown

Advanced players unlock the full shapeability of the CD3. With enough speed, it produces a long-tracking high-speed turn before hooking up with a clean, dependable fade. Many reviewers compare it to a slightly more controllable alternative to max-speed bombers—capable of hyzer-flip distance lines, power turnover shots that pan gently, or wide pushing hyzers that finish reliably.

Forehand Release Flight Characteristics

Players who forehand the CD3 appreciate its torque resistance without excessive overstability. The fade carries the disc forward rather than dumping, creating a flatter, smoother forehand shape than many speed-11 drivers. This makes it a trusted choice for forehand-dominant players seeking distance with accuracy.

Putthead Notes

• The CD3’s flight sits between a distance driver and a classic control driver—excellent shaping potential.
• Out-of-production status means runs vary; some C-Line versions are notably flatter or more stable.
• A great option for players who want long distance flights without jumping to speed-13 molds.
