Lava

Obsidian Lava Flight Chart

The Obsidian Discs Lava is a beadless, stable midrange designed for smooth, workable flight paths and controlled distance. With flight numbers of 5 | 5 | -1.5 | 1, it offers plenty of glide, gentle high-speed turn, and a mild fade that makes it ideal for shaping lines in the woods or attacking straight approaches in the open.

Obsidian Lava Flight Path for Newer & Developing Players

For newer or lower-power players, the Lava’s flight path will feel comfortably understable and very glidey. Thrown at moderate speed on a flat release, it will drift right (for a right-hand backhand) before settling with a soft, forward fade instead of dumping out hard. This gives you easy straight-to-turnover flights and extra distance without needing a huge arm. Use the Lava as a primary midrange for learning clean form, hyzer-flip shots, and gentle anhyzers that finish under control.

Shot Shaping & Flight Numbers for Intermediate Golfers

Intermediate players will get the most out of the Lava’s 5 | 5 | -1.5 | 1 flight numbers. With a smooth, committed release, it will hold the angle you put it on—hyzer-flips that push straight with minimal fade, controlled turnovers that pan right, and flat throws that stay neutral for most of the flight. The high glide lets you cover surprising distance for a midrange, making the Lava a great choice for tight fairways where you need touch and late movement rather than brute stability.

Obsidian Lava Flight Chart for Advanced Arms

Advanced players can treat the Lava as a workable understable midrange for finesse lines. Powered up on a slight hyzer, it will flip to flat, drift right, and finish with a gentle forward fade instead of stalling out. It’s excellent for standstill shots, low-ceiling tunnels, and long turnovers that need to land softly. Because the fade is mild, you can commit to straighter lines without worrying about a hard hook-up at the end of the flight path.

Forehand Flight Path & Utility Uses

On forehand throws, the Lava’s beadless rim and neutral flight make it comfortable for touch approaches and shaping lines rather than brute-force flex shots. For developing forehand players, light to moderate power will produce straight-to-drifting flights with a soft fade, great for gentle approach shots or shaping around obstacles. Experienced forehand throwers can use the Lava for smooth hyzer-flips, powered turnovers, and low-speed touch shots that land flat and stay close to the pin.
