Above Ground Level Cypress Flight Chart
The Above Ground Level Cypress is a high-speed distance driver with retooled flight numbers 12 | 5 | -2 | 2. Designed to cover serious ground while staying predictable, the Cypress flight path offers high-speed turn with a dependable fade, especially in premium AGL plastics. Earlier runs were very overstable, while the updated Cypress is more workable and accessible to a wider range of power levels.
Cypress Flight Path for Developing Arms
For newer or lower-power players, the Cypress is still a demanding speed-12 driver. Most will see a moderate high-speed turn followed by a healthy fade, often resulting in a sweeping S-curve when thrown with enough height. If your arm speed is below roughly 50 mph, the Cypress flight path will tend to finish early and behave closer to a stable–overstable driver than a true max-distance bomber.
How Intermediate Players See the Cypress Flight Numbers
For intermediate throwers who can get a speed-12 driver up to full flight, the listed Cypress flight numbers of 12 | 5 | -2 | 2 make sense. Released flat with committed power, the disc flips up, drifts slightly right (for RHBH), and then fades back with a forward-pushing finish. Many players describe it as flying more like a “-1 / 3” style driver in practice—workable turn with confident stability at the end. That makes it useful for shaping controlled S-curves and long placement shots in the fairway.
High-Power Control and Shot Shaping for Advanced Golfers
Advanced arms can lean on the Cypress as a torque-resistant distance driver that still has workable turn. On full rips, expect a late, reliable fade that doesn’t dump immediately but continues pushing down the fairway. Earlier, more overstable runs of the Cypress will behave closer to a 12 | 4 | 0 | 3 profile and demand even more power, so players should pay attention to run and plastic when dialing in their Cypress flight path for competition.
Forehand Use and Wind Performance
The Cypress rim (around 2.2 cm wide) sits in the typical high-speed driver range and offers a comfortable grip for forehand throwers. Reviewers note good wind resistance and strong stability, especially in premium plastics, making it a viable option for long forehand drives or flex shots. Thrown on a slight anhyzer, the Cypress can hold the turn before flexing out with a confident fade, giving forehand players a controlled distance driver that can handle torque.

If you’re searching for a speed-12 driver that blends workable turn with a reliable finish, the Above Ground Level Cypress is worth testing. The retooled flight numbers give it more glide and accessibility than the original overstable version, while still offering the wind-fighting stability many players want in a distance driver slot.
Puttheads Notes
- Retooled Cypress feels like a workable high-speed driver, not just a meat hook.
- Earlier, more overstable runs may play closer to a headwind bomber for big arms.
- Nice option if you want something between a flippy distance driver and a pure meathook.
- Pay attention to run and plastic; stability can vary more than the static flight numbers suggest.
