Fourth Circle Discs Taipan Flight Chart
The Fourth Circle Discs Taipan is a high-speed, very overstable distance driver designed for confident power throwers. With flight numbers 13 | 5 | 0 | 3, it pushes forward with stability and finishes with a sharp, predictable fade. The Taipan delivers dependable performance in headwinds, forehands, spike hyzers, and long controlled drives where you must trust the disc not to turn. Players with strong arm speed will unlock long, flat carries before the late bite of overstability kicks in.
Flight Path Insights for Different Players
How the Taipan Performs for Beginners
Newer players will find the Taipan extremely overstable. Expect short flights, early fade, and limited glide unless you already generate 350+ feet of power. As a beginner utility option, it can still be effective for strong hyzers, wind-fighting shots, and guaranteed left finishes, but it is not suited for long controlled drives.
Stability Notes for Intermediate Throwers
Intermediate players gain more workable distance, but the Taipan still flies like a beefy distance driver. Thrown hard and flat, it carries straight briefly before a reliable fade. This makes it excellent for headwinds, skip shots, and forehand lines requiring zero turn. The Taipan rewards clean mechanics and firm angles.
Advanced & Professional-Level Flight Behavior
Advanced players unlock what the Taipan was built for — high-power drives with confident overstability. It resists turn even at elite arm speeds, making it a trusted choice for power forehands, long spike hyzers, and sharp finishing lines. Several throwers compare it to fast, overstable molds like the XCal but note the Taipan can be a touch faster with a longer push when thrown perfectly.
Forehand Flight Path Characteristics
The Taipan shines for forehand players thanks to its flat top, torque resistance, and ability to hold up to aggressive sidearm mechanics. It resists wobble, handles off-axis torque, and delivers a clean hyzer finish every time. Players who rely on forehands in the wind will quickly appreciate its dependable stability.

Puttheads Notes
The Taipan has earned a reputation among throwers as a wind-fighting, torque-resistant power driver. Some players compare it directly to an XCaliber but note that the Taipan carries slightly farther before fading. The Ultra plastic variant appears to offer a touch more glide while maintaining its overstable identity. If you rely on consistent fade, clean forehands, and predictable performance in tough conditions, the Taipan will fit naturally into your overstable distance slot.
