Millennium Falcon Flight Chart
The Millennium Falcon is a high-speed distance driver built for maximum glide and long, sweeping flights. With flight numbers 13 | 5 | -2 | 2, it offers workable high-speed turn paired with a consistent fade, making it a powerful option for players who can generate enough arm speed. The Falcon’s flat profile and wide rim create a comfortable grip for both backhand and forehand power shots, while its glide makes it a long-range bomber for open-field distance drives.
How the Falcon Flies for Developing Players
For newer or developing players, the Falcon will feel very overstable. The speed-13 rim requires significant power to unlock the intended flight path. Expect early fade, reduced distance, and a strong hyzer finish unless thrown with high speed and clean form. Its stability, however, can still be useful for spike-hyzers, strong headwinds, and dump-hyzer lines.
Distance Performance for Intermediate Arms
Intermediate throwers with improving form can take advantage of the Falcon’s glide and forward-carrying flight. The –2 turn provides a workable flip when thrown hard, allowing a controlled high-speed drift before the fade brings it back reliably. It excels in open fairways, tailwinds, and long placement shots where distance is the main goal.
Shot Shaping Potential for Advanced Throwers
Advanced players will unlock the Falcon’s full potential: massive glide, workable turnovers, and long flex lines. Thrown flat, the disc drifts right before finishing with a clean fade. Power throwers can hit distances few other drivers reach in the same speed class. The Falcon is especially effective for tailwind bombs, forced turnovers, and full-power backhand or forehand distance drives.
Forehand Flight Path Characteristics
Forehand players benefit from the Falcon’s flat profile and torque-resistant stability. The wide rim offers a solid grip for power flicks, producing long forehand flights with dependable fade. Higher-power FH throwers will find it workable and glidey, while moderate-power throwers may see a straighter push followed by a hard fade.

DG Puttheads Notes
The Falcon fills the “high-speed, high-glide bomber” spot in a bag, offering big flights without being uncontrollably understable. It has a workable turn that rewards clean form and a consistent fade that keeps the disc reliable at the end of its flight. Players wanting a long-range distance driver that doesn’t require extreme power—but still scales with skill—will find the Falcon a strong fit.
