Above Ground Level Locust Flight Chart
The Above Ground Level Locust is a torque-resistant fairway/distance driver hybrid with listed flight numbers of 9 | 4 | -1 | 3. In real-world use, reviewers say it often flies more overstable than the numbers suggest, especially in premium Alpine and Atomic-style plastics. The Locust is built for players who want a dependable, controllable driver that can handle power, headwinds, and aggressive lines without turning over.
Locust Mold Specs & Flight Numbers
AGL designed the Locust as a versatile control driver that bridges the gap between fairway and distance driver. With a 9-speed rim, moderate glide, and strong fade, it’s aimed at players who value placement and predictability as much as raw distance.

Locust Flight Path for Newer Players
For beginners and lower-power throwers, the Locust will usually fly much more overstable than the printed flight numbers. Expect a quick, dependable hyzer that starts straight and then fights hard to the left (for right-hand backhand players) without any real high-speed turn. It can be useful as a “get out of trouble” disc, for short spike hyzers, windy approaches, or forced fades when you’re still building arm speed.
Flight Chart Insights for Intermediate Arms
Intermediate players who can get the Locust up to speed will see a controlled, overstable flight path. Thrown flat with decent power, it tracks straight for a moment, resists turn, and then delivers a reliable, sweeping fade that finishes on hyzer. This makes it a strong choice for:
- Confident tee shots in moderate headwinds
- Fairway drives where long, consistent fade is preferred over maximum distance
- Skip shots around corners and low-ceiling hyzers
Reviewer feedback suggests that in premium plastics, the Locust often flies more like a beefy 9-speed utility driver than a neutral control driver, so plan for more fade than the flight numbers alone might imply.
Advanced Locust Flight Numbers in Real Play
Advanced and high-power players will be able to lean into the Locust’s stability and treat it as a workhorse overstable control driver. With plenty of arm speed, you can get a short straight push or soft S-curve, but it still wants to finish hard and stay on hyzer. Reviewers compare its role to very overstable fairway drivers—excellent for:
- Reliable hyzer lines that need to finish hard and skip
- Forced flex lines where the disc must fight out every time
- Wind-fighting drives on exposed fairways
If you’re used to neutral fairways, think of the Locust as a more demanding, more overstable option that prioritizes control and predictability over glidey distance.
Forehand Flight Path and Utility Lines
The Locust’s rim and strong fade make it a natural fit for forehand throwers. Reviewers note that it handles torque very well, staying solid even on aggressive sidearms. Forehand-dominant players can expect minimal turn and a confident fade, making it ideal for:
- Forehand hyzers that must finish reliably
- Scramble shots around obstacles where you need the disc to dump and stick
- Low, skippy sidearms that bend around trees or corners
If your sidearm tends to flip understable fairways, the Locust offers a beefy, predictable counterpoint that stays on line and finishes strong.

Try the Above Ground Level Locust
If you’re searching for a dependable, overstable control driver that can handle torque, fight wind, and still carve workable lines, the AGL Locust fits that role well. It’s especially appealing if you like using one disc for both controlled distance shots and utility hyzers.
Putthead Notes
Based on reviewer comments, the Locust often plays like “USDA certified beef”—very overstable with a strong, reliable finish, especially in premium blends. If you’re looking for a straight-to-understable fairway this probably isn’t it, but if you want a confident, torque-resistant driver that you can trust to fade every time, the Locust earns its spot as a control-oriented workhorse.
