Crosslap Openwater Flight Chart
The Crosslap Openwater is a dependable control-distance driver designed for accurate placement shots and workable distance. With flight numbers of 12 | 4 | -1.5 | 2, the Openwater blends mild understability with a predictable fade, making it suitable for hyzer flips, straight pushes, and controlled turnovers. Reviewers highlight its reliable feel, straight-flight capability in the 250–350 foot range, and its comfort in a variety of plastic blends that subtly shift stability.
How the Openwater Flies for Developing Players
For newer players, the Openwater’s gentle turn and manageable fade offer a workable introduction to 12-speed drivers. While the rim width requires some experience, the disc rewards clean releases with long, controlled flights. Expect straighter lines with a reliable finish—ideal for players pulling beyond midranges and stepping into controlled distance drivers.
Openwater Flight Traits for Intermediate Arms
Intermediate disc golfers will see the Openwater shine as a control-distance driver. Thrown flat, it glides forward with a subtle turn before delivering a predictable, moderate fade. Hyzer-flip lines are accessible, especially in lighter or less stable plastics. Many reviewers praise its consistency in wooded fairways and its ability to shape lines without overturning.
Shot Shaping for Advanced Players
Advanced throwers can manipulate the Openwater with ease. A light hyzer produces long, straight pushes; a flat release yields a neutral flight with dependable fade; and a gentle anhyzer produces workable turnover lines that resist burning into the ground. While not a max-distance bomber, the Openwater excels when accuracy and glide matter more than raw speed.
Forehand Applications
Forehand players appreciate the Openwater’s comfortable beadless rim and moderate torque resistance. It holds clean release angles and offers a forward-moving fade without excessive dump. This makes it useful for controlled sidearms, placement drives, and skip shots that require stability without heavy overstability.
