Yikun Jiao Flight Chart
The Yikun Jiao is a glidey, understable midrange designed for smooth control and effortless distance. With flight numbers of 5 | 5 | -3 | 1, it’s one of the most beginner-friendly discs in Yikun’s lineup, offering a straight-to-turning flight that feels natural right out of the hand. Ideal for developing players or anyone looking for a finesse midrange that can hold a line without excessive fade.
Flight Characteristics and Overview
The Jiao’s defining trait is its ability to hold straight or turnover lines with very little effort. It has a comfortable, shallow rim and a buttery release, making it easy to throw cleanly on both backhand and forehand. Its high glide rating allows the disc to carry longer than expected while maintaining a soft, predictable finish.
Jiao Flight Path for Beginners
Beginners will love how easily the Jiao flies straight. Even with slower arm speeds, it resists fading out early and helps new players achieve long, confident flights. It’s an excellent first midrange for players learning proper form or trying to control turnover lines.
Flight Chart for Intermediate Players
For intermediate throwers, the Jiao shines as a touch midrange for controlled hyzer flips, turnovers, and low-power straight shots. It’s especially useful on wooded courses or narrow fairways where glide and accuracy matter more than raw power.
Flight Ratings for Advanced and Professional Disc Golfers
Advanced players can take advantage of the Jiao’s easy turn and glide for finesse shots, rollers, or touch approaches. It’s a great complement to more stable mids like the Roc3 or Buzzz, filling the slot for understable glide lines and shaping tricky turnovers.
Forehand and Utility Use
The Jiao’s smooth rim and gentle turn make it a decent choice for light forehand touch shots or flip-up forehands. While not suited for high-torque flicks, it performs well in the woods or for approach flicks that need glide and minimal fade.
