Daredevil Discs Merlin Flight Chart
The Daredevil Discs Merlin is a high-speed, overstable distance driver with flight numbers 14 | 5 | -1 | 4. Designed for experienced throwers, the Merlin offers a powerful combination of initial high-speed turn and a strong, commanding fade. Built in Daredevil’s Flex Performance plastic, it maintains exceptional durability and grip—especially in cold conditions. Reviewers consistently describe the Merlin as a wind-fighting bomber that thrives on full-power flex lines and long, controlled hyzers.
Merlin Flight Path for Beginners
Newer players will find the Merlin far too overstable for general use. Expect early fade, limited glide, and a strong tendency to hyzer out. While not ideal for beginners seeking distance, it can still serve as a utility disc for wind, skip shots, and specialty hyzers.
Flight Characteristics for Intermediate Throwers
Intermediate players with improving arm speed can use the Merlin for reliable hyzers and flex lines. Its subtle -1 high-speed turn offers a slight drift before the heavy fade takes over, making it a stable long-distance option in open fairways or windy conditions.
Advanced & Professional Distance Expectations
High-power throwers unlock the Merlin’s full flight potential. With enough speed, the disc will flip slightly, glide forward with force, and finish with a strong hook. Reviewers note its ability to push deep into the fairway before fading, making it a trustworthy option for flex shots, power hyzers, and penetrating drives in headwinds.
Forehand Flight Path & Utility Notes
The Merlin is an excellent forehand driver thanks to its torque resistance and firm Flex Performance plastic. Sidearm throwers can expect a straight-to-overstable flight with a dependable finish. It excels on forehand flexes, skip shots, and long-distance placement shots where stability is critical.
