Galaxy Disc Golf Shooting Star Flight Chart
The Galaxy Disc Golf Shooting Star is a slightly understable fairway driver with flight numbers of 7 | 5 | -2 | 1. Designed for easy distance and control, it delivers smooth hyzer flips, gentle turnovers, and straighter flights for developing arms. Beginners and intermediate players especially like the Shooting Star as a first driver that doesn’t require big arm speed to get full flight.
Shooting Star Flight Path for Beginners
Beginners will find the Shooting Star very forgiving and easy to throw. At lower power, it launches straight, shows a gentle turn, and finishes with only a mild fade. It’s a great choice for players who are tired of watching overstable drivers dump out early and want something that glides down the fairway.
Flight Chart for Intermediate Players
Intermediate players can expect the Shooting Star to shine as a finesse fairway driver. Thrown flat, it will drift right with a slow, controlled turn before settling softly. Released on a slight hyzer, it pops up to flat and rides straight, making it useful for wooded fairways, tunnel shots, and controlled placement drives up to about 300 feet.
Flight Numbers for Advanced and Pro Players
Advanced players will see the Shooting Star as a touchy understable tool. With full power it wants to flip and hold a long turnover, so it’s best used for standstill shots, smooth hyzer flips, or touch turnovers where shape matters more than raw distance. Power throwers may also use it as a low-speed roller disc once it beats in.
Flight Path for Forehand Throws
For forehand throws, the Shooting Star works best at shorter distances and with smooth, low-torque releases. Expect it to flip quickly if you overpower it, but for touch flicks it can glide straight or drift gently right before landing softly. It’s more of a finesse forehand disc than a power forehand driver.

Try the Galaxy Shooting Star
The Galaxy Shooting Star is built as a beginner-friendly control driver that still has utility for more experienced players. Its combination of high glide, easy turn, and gentle fade makes it ideal for hyzer flips, learning smooth form, and pushing straight shots farther down the fairway than a typical midrange.
Puttheads Notes
The Shooting Star is a classic “easy button” fairway driver for players who like flippy, glidey lines. The E-Class plastic feels like a grippy base blend that will season quickly into an even more understable flight, which can be great for learning hyzer flips and standstill turnovers.
