Chromium

Element Chromium Flight Chart

The Element Chromium is a control driver that sits between a fairway and distance driver, with flight numbers 9 | 5 | -1 | 1. On the Chromium flight chart you’ll see a steady, workable flight path: a neutral-to-slightly-understable high-speed phase, followed by a gentle, reliable fade. It’s designed for players who want controlled distance, smooth hyzer-flips, and line-holding drives rather than a wildly overstable or flippy driver.

Chromium Flight Numbers & Mold Specs

• Speed: 9
• Glide: 5
• Turn: -1
• Fade: 1
• Primary Use: Control / fairway-distance driver hybrid
• Stability: Stable to slightly understable
• Recommended Skill Level: Low-intermediate to advanced players
• Typical Plastics: Premium beadless Element blend

With its moderate turn and soft fade, the Chromium’s flight path often shows a long push forward, a subtle drift, and a gentle finish rather than a harsh hook. Many players describe it as a steady driver that holds the release angle well—capable of straight drives, soft turnovers, and controlled hyzer shots without a big skip at the end.

Chromium Flight Path by Skill Level

Chromium Flight Path for Developing Players

For newer or developing players, the Element Chromium can serve as an introduction to faster control drivers. At lower power, expect a mostly straight flight with a mild forward push and a modest fade at the end. The -1 turn may not fully show up until arm speed improves, but there’s enough high-speed stability to keep the disc from immediately turning and burning. Thrown on light hyzer, beginners will see a smooth arc that finishes controlled rather than dumping.

Hyzer-Flip Flight Chart for Intermediate Arms

Intermediate players will see the Chromium’s flight numbers 9 | 5 | -1 | 1 come alive. On a small hyzer release, it will flip up to flat, glide, and finish with a soft, forward fade. Released flat, the flight path tends to be straight with a subtle drift before gently moving back at the end. It’s well-suited for fairway-length tee shots, tight fairways where big movement is risky, and distance-controlled drives that need predictable landings.

Shaping Lines with the Chromium at Advanced Power

Advanced players can lean on the Chromium as a line-shaping control driver. With full power, the disc often behaves like a neutral-stable driver that can be worked on multiple angles. A flat release produces a long, straight flight with just a hint of high-speed turn and a mild, reliable finish. Thrown on anhyzer, it can hold a controlled turnover and land gently rather than flexing all the way out, especially as it beats in. On steeper hyzers, it’ll trace a consistent arc without rolling over unexpectedly.

Forehand Control & Specialty Chromium Lines

For forehand throwers, the Chromium’s combination of slight turn and small fade makes it a touchy but useful control option. At moderate forehand power, expect a straight-to-fade flight that doesn’t crash hard, ideal for threading fairways and shaping gentle hyzer-flicks. Higher-power sidearms may see more turn than the numbers suggest, so it’s best used for smooth, controlled forehands rather than max-effort flicks.

Try the Element Chromium If You:

• Want a speed 9 control driver that balances distance with accuracy.
• Like flight paths that can be hyzer-flipped to straight with a clean, gentle finish.
• Need a driver that holds lines well instead of forcing everything into a hard hyzer.
• Prefer premium, beadless plastic with a rim that feels more like a fairway driver than a wide-rim bomber.

DG Puttheads’ Notes on the Element Chromium

From a data-backed perspective, the Chromium’s flight chart shows a driver that lives in the “control” zone: it isn’t wildly understable, but it also doesn’t spike out with heavy fade. That makes it a solid candidate when you want one disc to cover straight drives, gentle hyzer-flips, and soft turnovers at the speed-9 slot, especially on courses where accuracy matters more than raw speed.
