Vibram Onyx Flight Chart
The Vibram Onyx is an understable fairway driver with flight numbers of 8 | 6 | -3 | 1. Designed for easy distance and smooth control, the Onyx is ideal for players with slower arm speeds or those looking for a reliable turnover driver. Its grippy X-Link rubber plastic provides exceptional feel and consistency, making it one of Vibram’s most beginner-friendly molds.
Flight Path for Newer Players
Beginners will find the Onyx extremely easy to throw straight or with a natural right-turning flight (RHBH). The high glide helps generate distance without effort, while the gentle fade keeps it from turning over completely. It’s a perfect driver for learning controlled anhyzers, hyzer flips, or low-power distance drives.
Flight Chart Insights for Intermediate Throwers
For intermediates, the Onyx is a smooth, turnover specialist. It holds long right-finishing lines and responds well to touch. Expect gentle hyzer flips that glide for extra carry before finishing softly. It’s especially effective for tailwinds and low-ceiling control shots where glide and accuracy matter more than fade.
Flight Numbers Breakdown for Advanced Players
Advanced players will find the Onyx to be an excellent utility disc for rollers, long turnovers, and standstill finesse shots. With power, it flips quickly and holds an anhyzer angle with minimal fade at the end. While not built for headwinds, it’s great for shaping creative lines and distance-controlling drives in calm or tailwind conditions.
Forehand Flight and Control
The grippy rubber of Vibram’s X-Link plastic gives forehand throwers excellent touch and release control. Though too flippy for power flicks, it excels on soft forehand turnovers and technical forehand approaches under 250 feet. Expect it to stay on the intended angle with a gentle finish.
