Obsidian Discs Shard Flight Chart
The Obsidian Discs Shard is a glidey, workable fairway driver with flight numbers of 7.5 | 5 | -1.5 | 1. Built for clean releases and shaping lines, the Shard offers easy distance for beginners and a hyzer-flip machine for experienced throwers. Its H9 premium plastic provides excellent grip and durability, while the slightly understable flight makes it versatile in both open fairways and tight wooded gaps.
How the Shard Flies for Newer Players
Beginners will find the Shard straight and forgiving. With its mild turn and gentle fade, it serves as an early fairway driver that doesn’t require huge arm speed. Expect straight pushes with a subtle finish, especially in lighter weights.
Shot Shaping for Intermediate Throwers
Intermediates unlock the hyzer-flip potential. Reviews praise the Shard for its ability to pop up from a hyzer, drift right (RHBH), and glide before settling softly. It’s a strong option for technical drives, wooded lines, and effortless fairway distance.
Advanced Flight Numbers in Real-World Power
For power throwers, the Shard can be turned into a long, controlled turnover disc. With enough speed, the -1.5 turn shows clearly, offering smooth right-moving flights before a minimal fade. Advanced players use the Shard for shaping S-lines, long turnovers, and finesse drives where too much fade would ruin the line.
Forehand Touch Lines
Forehand players who rely on touch rather than brute torque can get excellent use from the Shard. The H9 plastic provides a clean grip, and its slight understability makes it great for controlled flick turnovers, straight forehand drives, and shaping touch hyzer-flips.
