Element Radium Flight Chart
The Element Radium is a control driver that blurs the line between midrange and fairway, with flight numbers 6 | 4 | -1 | 2. On the Radium flight chart, you’ll see a neutral-to-slightly-understable flight path at high speed, followed by a dependable fade that keeps it from drifting too far off line. It’s designed for players who want controlled distance and accuracy on longer midrange shots and shorter fairway drives.

Taken together, the Radium flight numbers describe a disc that pushes forward with moderate glide, drifts slightly under power, and then finishes on a controlled fade. Its hybrid mid/fairway profile gives it enough stability for confident drives while still feeling like a point-and-shoot midrange in the hand.
Radium Flight Path by Skill Level
Radium Flight Path for Developing Players
For newer and developing players, the Radium’s flight path tends to be straight with a gentle, predictable finish. At lower arm speeds, the -1 turn is subtle or may not fully appear, so the disc behaves closer to a stable midrange: it pushes forward, holds the release angle, and then fades out without a sharp dump. Thrown with a light hyzer, expect a smooth arc and a controlled landing that makes the Radium a useful step-up from putters and slower mids.
Controlled Lines for Intermediate Arms
Intermediate throwers will see the Radium’s flight chart behavior more clearly. On a flat release, the disc usually shows a small amount of high-speed turn, rides straight, and then finishes with a clean fade that doesn’t yank it off the fairway. Released on light hyzer, it can flip to flat and glide straight before settling. This makes the Radium a strong option for tunnel shots, longer approaches, and controlled tee shots where you want more range than a mid but less movement than a faster driver.
Shaping the Radium Flight Chart at Advanced Power
Advanced players can use the Radium as a line-shaping tool in the “slow fairway” slot. With full power, the flight path often shows noticeable but manageable turn that stretches out the flight before the fade brings it back on line. Hyzer releases produce reliable control shots that resist flipping over, while anhyzer releases can hold a curved line and land softly when the Radium is seasoned. The combination of speed 6 and a 2 fade gives experienced throwers a workable, repeatable shape on woods lines and touchy fairways.
Forehand Use and Specialty Radium Lines
For forehand players, the Radium’s moderate speed and stable flight numbers make it most comfortable for smooth, controlled flicks rather than max-power sidearms. At modest forehand power, the flight path is typically straight with a reliable fade, making it a good choice for placement shots that need to stay in the fairway. Some players also use the Radium for low-ceiling shots, flat standstills, and powered-up approaches where a midrange might turn too much or lack the carry.

DG Puttheads’ Notes on the Element Radium
From a data-backed standpoint, the Radium fills a useful control slot: its flight chart sits neatly between true midranges and full fairway drivers. The numbers point to a disc that’s straight enough to trust on lines, but stable enough to handle power without turning into a roller. If your bag has a gap between your workhorse mid and your first fairway driver, the Radium is designed to live right in that space.
