Discraft Sting Flight Chart
The Discraft Sting is an understable fairway driver with flight numbers of 7 | 5 | -2 | 1, designed for easy distance and smooth shaping. Originally released as an Ace Race disc, the Sting offers comfortable rim feel, high glide, and a gentle finish that makes it friendly for beginners while still useful for hyzer-flips, turnovers, and finesse lines for more experienced players.
Sting Flight Path for Newer Players
For beginners and developing players, the Sting flight path starts with a straight push, turns gently to the understable side, and then settles into a mild fade. At lower power, it resists harsh dumping and helps newer arms get useful distance without needing full-speed form. Many reviews highlight the Sting as a confidence-boosting first driver because it wants to glide rather than stall and drop.
Control & Sting Flight Numbers for Intermediate Arms
Intermediate throwers will see the Sting fly close to its rated flight numbers of 7 | 5 | -2 | 1. Thrown flat, it glides forward, turns reliably, and finishes with a soft, controllable fade. This makes it ideal for hyzer-flip fairway shots, smooth turnover lines that hold to the right (RHBH), and shaping through tight woods. Reviewers often mention how easy it is to keep the Sting on the intended line without a lot of effort.
Shot Shaping & Flight Ratings for Advanced Players
Advanced players with higher power will experience a more pronounced understable Sting flight path. Off the tee, a flat or slight hyzer release will turn the disc over for long drifting lines, while steeper angles can turn it into a workable roller disc. Many stronger arms report that the Sting is not a primary control driver due to its turn, but praise it as a specialized tool for long turnovers, standstill shots, and touch drives where a gentle finish is preferred.
Forehand Lines and Touch Shots with the Sting
On forehand throws, the Sting’s understability shows up quickly. Lower-power forehands can use it for straight or slight-turn shots with minimal fade, while higher-power forehands need to start it on hyzer to avoid burning it into the ground. Because of its glide and workable high-speed turn, some players also lean on the Sting for touch forehand approaches and creative escape shots where a neutral-to-understable forehand is needed.

Putthead Notes
Data from reviewers shows the Discraft Sting excels as an easy-flying fairway for slower arms and as a utility understable driver for experienced players. If you like hyzer-flip control, long turnovers, or a forgiving first driver that still has a touch of fade, the Sting slots in as a versatile, glidey fairway option.
