Recluse

Legacy Recluse Flight Chart

The Legacy Recluse is a very overstable midrange built for control in wind and high-torque situations. With flight numbers 5 | 3 | 0 | 4, it offers modest glide, zero turn, and a strong, dependable fade. Its lower-profile feel, big bead, and typically flat to puddle-top dome make it ideal for players who want a torque-resistant mid that can handle both backhand and forehand power without flipping.

Flight Path Overview by Skill Level

Recluse Flight Path for Newer Players

For beginners, the Recluse will feel very overstable. Expect short, controlled flights that push forward briefly before dumping left (for a RHBH thrower). The limited glide and strong fade mean it won’t be a distance mid for new players, but it can still serve as a utility option for spike hyzers, hard-fading approaches, or windy situations where you simply need the disc to finish reliably.

Midrange Flight Numbers in the Hands of Intermediate Golfers

Intermediate players will see the advertised 5 | 3 | 0 | 4 flight numbers come to life. Thrown flat, the Recluse resists turn, pushes straight for a short window, then delivers a sharp, predictable fade. Reviewers highlight its use for 100–250 foot controlled hyzer shots, skip finishes into the green, and forehand approaches when there’s open space to one side of the fairway. It’s especially trustworthy in headwinds where neutral mids might drift or flip.

Advanced Player Flight Path & Shot Shaping

For advanced throwers, the Legacy Recluse becomes a precision overstable workhorse. With enough power, you’ll get a short, flat push before a forceful finish, ideal for landing zones that demand a hard, late fade. It slots between other OS mids as more overstable than a Quake but not as extreme as a Justice or Mutant, giving experienced players a controllable but very reliable option for flex lines, spike hyzers, and technical wind shots.

Forehand Control and Utility Lines

The Recluse’s lower profile, bead, and flat top make it a favorite for forehand specialists. Reviewers repeatedly mention how confident they feel snapping it on sidearm lines without it turning over. On forehand approaches you can hang it out wide, knowing it will fight out and finish hard. It excels at short forehand flex shots, skip approaches, and any utility line where you want the disc to “crash” into the green rather than glide past it.

Puttheads Notes

The Legacy Recluse hits a nice sweet spot in the overstable midrange category. It’s legitimately beefy without feeling like a glideless brick, and the flat, beaded profile feels especially good for forehand approaches. Reviewers consistently call it one of the most trustworthy discs in their bags—great in the wind, great for skip finishes, and surprisingly workable once it beats in. If you want a mid that you can lean on whenever you absolutely need a hard finish, the Recluse deserves a look.
