Lone Star Disc Tumbleweed Flight Chart
The Lone Star Disc Tumbleweed is an understable distance driver with flight numbers of 10 | 6 | -3 | 1. This neutral-to-flippy driver is built for effortless glide, sweeping hyzer-flips, and easy turnover lines. On this Flight Chart page we break down the Tumbleweed’s flight path by skill level so you can see how its high glide and understable flight numbers change based on your arm speed and release angles.
Tumbleweed Flight Numbers & Disc Profile
The Tumbleweed is designed as an easy-gliding distance driver that performs especially well for lower arm speeds, tailwinds, and controlled rollers.
- Manufacturer Flight Numbers: 10 / 6 / -3 / 1
- Reviewer Consensus: Very understable with huge glide and a gentle finish
- Primary Use: Distance driver for hyzer-flips, turnovers, and rollers
- Stability: Understable
- Recommended Skill Level: Beginner and developing players, plus advanced arms for specialty lines
Most throwers report that the Tumbleweed flips up easily from a hyzer release, rides a long turning line, and then fades softly at the end—especially when given enough height and space to glide.
Tumbleweed Flight Path for Beginners
For newer players and those with slower arm speeds, the Tumbleweed can feel like a “cheat code” distance driver. The understable flight path helps beginners get full flights without needing elite power.
- Thrown flat, it will drift right (for RHBH players) instead of dumping left early.
- Released on a gentle hyzer, it tends to flip up to flat and glide straight for a long time.
- Because of the high glide, beginners can see noticeably more distance than with typical overstable drivers.
If you’re just learning distance drivers, the Tumbleweed’s forgiving flight path makes it easier to see what proper nose angle and clean form can do.
Flight Chart for Intermediate Players
Intermediate players with developed form will find the Tumbleweed ideal for controlled hyzer-flips, shapeable turnovers, and long fairway-carving drives.
- Hyzer-flip drives: Start it on moderate hyzer and let it flip to flat, ride right, and settle softly.
- Standstill or low-effort distance: Even with less run-up, the glide helps it cover surprising ground.
- Tunnel shots: When powered down, it can track a gentle turning line without a harsh late fade.
On the Flight Chart, this often appears as a long, slow-turning S-curve rather than a straight-and-fade pattern—especially when thrown at full power by intermediate arms.
Flight Ratings for Advanced and Utility Golfers
Advanced and pro-level throwers will see the Tumbleweed as a specialized tool for extreme shot shaping, rollers, and massive tailwind distance shots.
- Power turnovers: Cranked flat or on slight anhyzer, it holds a long turning arc with minimal fight back.
- Controlled distance in tailwinds: The -3 high-speed turn paired with strong glide produces big carry downwind.
- Powered hyzer-flips: From a steeper hyzer angle, it still flips up and carries forward before settling.
If you already throw over 350–400 feet, treat the Tumbleweed as a precision understable driver rather than a workhorse bomber—it excels when you give it height and trust the understable flight path.
Flight Path for Rollers, Tailwinds, and Forehand Shots
The Tumbleweed really shines as a utility disc when you need specialty lines that more stable drivers can’t provide.
- Backhand rollers: Release on a controlled anhyzer and let the understable flight tip it cleanly onto an edge.
- Tailwind bombs: In strong tailwinds, it stands up, glides, and carries far before a gentle finish.
- Touch forehands: For players with softer forehand power, the understability helps keep flicks from dumping out early.
Stronger forehand players will want to power down or rely on plenty of hyzer angle to keep the Tumbleweed from turning too much out of the hand.
