Talon

Discraft Talon Flight Chart

The Discraft Talon is a reliable, overstable control driver with flight numbers of 8 | 3 | 1 | 3. Designed for precision over power, the Talon thrives in windy conditions and delivers consistent, hard-fading flights. Originally discontinued in the mid-2000s, this classic driver has returned in limited Big Z and Z Swirl runs, offering a modern take on a trusted mold. Its smaller rim width and torque resistance make it a dependable tool for both backhand and forehand shots where placement matters most.

Beginner Flight Path Overview

For newer players, the Talon will behave as a very overstable disc. Expect short, consistent flights with strong fade. It’s great for learning reliable hyzers and wind-resistant lines, though less suited for straight drives at low arm speeds.

Flight Chart Guidance for Intermediate Throwers

Players with 250–325 ft of power will see a controlled flight with minimal turn and a heavy fade finish. Released on flat, it will hold a straight line briefly before hooking hard left (RHBH). Excellent for skip shots and precision doglegs.

Advanced Player Control and Utility

Advanced arms can count on the Talon for skip hyzers, spike hyzers, and forehand utility drives. The Big Z version provides predictable overstability even when thrown with high torque, while the X Line variant beats in for slightly straighter lines with similar fade.

Forehand Consistency

With a shallow, grippy rim and reliable fade, the Talon excels for forehand flicks that must finish left or stay low in headwinds. Great for tight fairway escapes and controlled forehand approaches.
