Launch Disc Golf Cipher Flight Chart
The Launch Disc Golf Cipher is an 8-speed control driver designed for accurate fairway placement, dependable fade, and clean backhand or forehand releases. With flight numbers of 8 | 4 | -1 | 2, it delivers a stable, forward-pushing flight with just enough turn to shape lines, followed by a reliable finish. Built in Launch’s premium Alpha plastic, the Cipher balances durability, grip, and consistent stability, making it a versatile workhorse for players of all skill levels.
How the Cipher Flies for Newer Players
Beginners will find the Cipher more forgiving than high-speed drivers thanks to its manageable rim and predictable fade. It won’t overpower newer throwers and offers a safe, reliable hyzer line. Expect modest glide, mild turn, and a clean finish—ideal for developing control and confidence on early fairway drives.
Flight Behavior for Intermediate Throwers
Intermediate players will see the Cipher shine as a straight-to-stable fairway driver. Reviews mention its ability to hold a straight line before delivering a dependable late fade. The mild turn makes it easy to hit flat-release drives that push down the fairway without drifting too far right. It’s especially effective for 300–360 ft placement shots.
Advanced Player Shot Shaping
Advanced throwers appreciate the Cipher’s reliability under torque. It handles power without turning excessively and maintains line integrity in light wind. Power players can shape long, stable hyzer lines, flat lasers with forward fade, or smooth flex shots with controlled drift to center. It behaves like a seasoned Teebird-style workhorse in premium plastic.
Forehand Control & Utility Lines
The Cipher’s beadless rim and moderate width make it comfortable for forehand drives. It resists early turn on flicks and provides a clean, controlled fade at the end. Players use it effectively for straight flick lines, forehand placement shots, low-ceiling drives, and controlled flex forehands.
