The Daredevil Discs Gray Jay is a very fast, very overstable distance driver with flight numbers of 14 | 4 | 0 | 5. It’s built for power throwers who need a long, stable flight that finishes with a sharp, reliable fade.

Flight Numbers & Disc Profile

• Speed: 14 – large-wing distance driver designed for high power throws.
• Glide: 4 – carries forward but prioritizes control over effortless float.
• Turn: 0 – resists high-speed turn, even into wind for experienced players.

• Stability: Very overstable distance driver, especially in premium Daredevil plastics.

Flight Chart by Skill Level

Gray Jay Flight Path for Beginners

For newer players, the Gray Jay will feel like a pure utility disc. At lower arm speeds it tends to fly straight for a very short distance and then dump hard left (for a right-hand backhand). Most beginners won’t see the intended full Gray Jay flight path – instead they’ll get spike hyzers, big hooks, and early fades. It can still be useful as a windy-day “get-me-around-the-corner” option or for very reliable hyzer approaches, but it’s not an ideal first distance driver.

Flight Chart for Intermediate Players

Intermediate throwers with controlled distance in the 325–375 ft range will experience the Gray Jay as a dependable meat-hook driver. Thrown flat, it wants to push forward briefly before leaning into a strong fade. Put it on anhyzer and it will flex out reliably, especially in a headwind. For many intermediates, the practical Gray Jay flight path is a short-to-medium distance hyzer that finishes hard and lands with a strong skip, making it a solid choice for shaping sharp doglegs or fighting crosswinds.

Flight Numbers in Practice for Advanced & Pro Players

Advanced and pro players with 400 ft+ of power can unlock the full Gray Jay flight numbers. With enough speed, it tracks straight at high velocity without flipping, then slams into a controlled, late fade. In strong wind, it behaves like a trustworthy distance workhorse – ideal for aggressive hyzers, flex lines that must finish on hyzer, and big skip shots. Reviewers note that it handles torque extremely well, allowing power throwers to lean on it for full-power rips without worrying about high-speed turn.

Gray Jay Flight Path for Forehand & Windy Conditions

Forehand throwers and wind specialists are the players most likely to bag the Gray Jay. The wide rim and very overstable flight give it excellent torque resistance on sidearm lines. Thrown forehand, expect a flat, penetrating push followed by a forceful fade that wants to crash and skip. Into a headwind, the Gray Jay’s flight path stays trustworthy: minimal turn, tight hyzer finish, and consistent ground play. For players comfortable with wider rims, it’s a strong option for spike forehands, overstable distance shots, and emergency “get out of trouble” lines.

Try the Daredevil Gray Jay

If you need a very overstable, high-speed driver that can handle power and wind, the Daredevil Gray Jay deserves a test flight. Big-arm players will find it useful for long hyzers and flex lines, while developing players can treat it as a reliable utility disc for windy days and sharp corners.

Putthead Notes

• True “power hyzer” and wind-fighter driver for experienced arms.
• Most casual players will see it more as a utility/meat-hook disc than a max-distance bomber.
• Shines on spike hyzers, forced-flex lines, and skip shots where a strong fade is mandatory.
