DGA Tempest Flight Chart
The DGA Tempest is a high-speed understable distance driver with flight numbers of 13 | 5 | -3 | 2. Built for big-distance turnovers and easy hyzer-flips, the Tempest gives newer players a chance at extra yardage and gives experienced throwers a workable, glide-heavy driver that can shape long S-curves. Its ProLine and SP-Line plastics offer grip and durability, making it a popular choice for maximizing distance with less effort.
Beginner-Friendly Distance Flight Path
For newer players, the Tempest can be a surprisingly long-flying driver. The -3 turn allows low-power throwers to achieve natural flip-ups and extended glide. Beginners should expect right-moving flights (RHBH) and gentle fade rather than a hard finish, especially at lighter weights.
Controlled Hyzer-Flips for Intermediate Players
Intermediates can unlock the Tempest’s true potential. A modest hyzer release produces long, drifting S-curves with plenty of glide. This makes the Tempest a great option for tailwind bombs, wooded tunnel shots requiring turn, or controlled distance where a straight-to-turning line is desired.
Advanced Throwers & High-Speed Flight Numbers
Players with power can push the Tempest into massive turnover lines or long-range rollers. With enough speed, it holds extended high-speed turn before a late, workable fade. Advanced players often use the Tempest for shaping technical distance lines, big air shots, and situations requiring maximum glide.
Forehand Use & Specialty Turnover Lines
While not an ideal forehand disc for torque-heavy throwers, the Tempest can excel at controlled forehand turnover shots. Players who finesse their flicks will appreciate its ability to flip quickly and glide. In tailwind forehands, it offers easy distance with a smooth, understable flight.

Putthead Notes
If your bag is missing a go-to hyzer-flip or turnover driver, the Tempest fills that role perfectly. It’s an easy-distance disc with tons of glide and plenty of shot-shaping potential—especially when you want distance without raw power.
