Yikun Yao Flight Chart
The Yikun Yao is a dependable, stable-to-overstable midrange with flight numbers of 5 | 5 | 0 | 2. Known for its smooth release, balanced glide, and consistent fade, the Yao provides clean, predictable flights for players of all skill levels. It’s a versatile option for controlled approaches and midrange drives, handling both backhand and forehand lines with precision.
Flight Path for Beginner Players
Beginners may find the Yao slightly overstable at first, but it’s an excellent tool for developing control and learning clean release angles. Even at lower speeds, it holds a straight line before finishing with a gentle fade. The Dragon Line plastic provides extra grip for newer players.
Flight Chart for Intermediate Throwers
Intermediate players will find the Yao to be a straight flyer that resists unwanted turn. Thrown flat, it glides forward before finishing with a consistent, moderate fade. Perfect for tunnel shots, windy upshots, or placement drives that demand accuracy over raw distance.
Flight Numbers and Path for Advanced Players
Advanced players can rely on the Yao for torque-resistant flights and dependable finishes. It performs exceptionally well as a workhorse midrange in the wind or for shaping low-ceiling flex shots. The Phoenix plastic keeps it slightly more overstable, ideal for confident, full-power throws.
Forehand Flight Path and Versatility
The Yao’s flat top and rounded rim make it comfortable for forehand grips. It holds clean lines on forehand approaches without flipping, making it a great option for technical control shots. Players who prefer neutral-to-stable forehand mids will appreciate the balance of glide and fade.
