Discmania Tilt Flight Chart
The Discmania Tilt is one of the most notoriously overstable discs ever produced, designed originally for Simon Lizotte as the ultimate utility driver. With extreme flight numbers of 9 | 1 | 1 | 6, the Tilt offers virtually no glide, immediate fade, and unmatched resistance to turn. This makes it a specialty disc reserved for situations requiring absolute reliability—headwinds, forced flex lines, vertical dumps, skip shots, and emergency get-out-of-trouble plays. While it is not a traditional distance or fairway driver, its predictability has earned it a cult following.
How Beginners Experience the Tilt
Most beginners will find the Tilt extremely challenging due to its overwhelming overstability. Expect very little forward push and a hard, early fade. While it is not ideal as a first driver, some new players appreciate its ability to fight strong winds or serve as a learning tool for exaggerated hyzer and flex releases.
Flight Expectations for Intermediate Throwers
Intermediate players can begin to unlock the Tilt’s utility value. It excels at forced flex shots, vertical forehand dumps, and situations where a disc must absolutely not turn over. Reviewers consistently mention that the Tilt is one of the few discs that can be trusted even in the strongest headwinds.
Advanced Flight Characteristics
Advanced and elite players treat the Tilt as a precision tool. Its overstability lets them shape sky rollers, tomahawks, extreme hyzers, and intentional stall shots. The Tilt is not used for distance—it is used for control. Power throwers rely on it specifically because no matter how hard they throw, it refuses to turn and always finishes aggressively.
Forehand Utility Flight Path
The Tilt is particularly well-suited for forehand specialists who need a confident, torque-resistant driver. Its stiff fade and lack of glide create forehand approach lines that finish quickly without drifting right. Even high-power forehand throwers cannot flip this disc, which is precisely why so many keep it in the bag for technical utility lines.

Putthead Notes
The Tilt isn’t a disc you choose for distance—it’s a disc you choose for certainty. When wind, angle control, or shot shape demand a disc that simply will not turn, this mold performs exactly as intended. It’s a niche tool, but for players who understand its purpose, it’s invaluable.
