DGA Vortex Flight Chart
The DGA Vortex is a glide-heavy, understable fairway driver co-designed with 2× World Champion Catrina Allen. With flight numbers of 7 | 6 | -3 | 1, the Vortex delivers long, controllable flights with effortless turn and a gentle fade at the end. Players praise its easy shaping, high glide, and reliable ability to handle turnovers, hyzer-flips, and controlled placement shots. Available in several premium plastics—including ProLine, SP Line, and Signature blends—the Vortex suits a wide range of throwers looking for distance with finesse rather than brute power.
Vortex Flight Path for Beginners
Newer players will appreciate the Vortex’s understability and generous glide. Even at lower power levels, it can produce smooth, drifting turnovers or straight flights with a gentle fade. Beginners who struggle to keep stable fairway drivers from fading out early will find the Vortex far more cooperative and distance-boosting.
Shot-Shaping Guide for Intermediate Players
Intermediates unlock the Vortex’s full potential as a finesse fairway driver. A clean hyzer-flip produces long, straight pushes before a soft finish, while anhyzer releases hold extended turnovers perfect for carving wooded fairways. Its high glide makes it a favorite for low-effort distance and technical lines where control is more important than raw power.
Flight Numbers Breakdown for Advanced Throwers
Advanced players can lean into the Vortex’s -3 turn to craft intentional, sweeping shot shapes. It excels at rollers, long drifting turnovers, and touch forehands that require precision without blowing past the landing zone. Many reviewers praise its predictability—despite being understable, it does not burn over uncontrollably when properly powered and released.
Forehand Flight Path Insights
Forehand players who prefer touchy, understable fairway drivers will find the Vortex workable and comfortable. Its manageable rim width and smooth release help create effortless shaping shots. Expect early turn on most forehands, followed by a reliable soft fade that gently straightens out the finishing line.
