The AGL Alpine Redwood distance driver is AGL's high-speed, glidey distance driver, molded in Alpine plastic. It's built for players looking for the longest-flying disc in their bag, and it's at its best on max-distance drives with a reliable finish. Made in the USA by family-owned AGL, the Redwood is ready to take your game Above Ground Level.

Alpine Plastic

Alpine is AGL's premium plastic and their most-used blend. Like all AGL plastics, it's made with recycled and regrind material, so it cuts down on waste while flying just as well. Original Alpine was made at Gateway and could come out clear or opaque depending on the mix. AGL's newer Alpine runs are made by Innova with 20-40% regrind from Innova's Champion plastic, and AGL calls it extremely durable with incredible longevity. AGL also notes Alpine discs can come out with a little more dome than Woodland runs, which can add glide.

About AGL Discs

AGL, short for Above Ground Level, is a family-owned disc golf company run by the Jones family and Northern California's #1 disc golf manufacturer. All AGL discs are made in the USA, and AGL is committed to discs that are more durable than the competition so they keep a proper flight path for a longer lifespan. Every mold is named after a tree as part of AGL's "Treeline" theme, and AGL's plastics use recycled and regrind material to minimize waste while flying just as well.

The Mold

AGL spent about 2.5 years designing the Redwood's top. The leading edge on top is sandblasted, an idea inspired by golf ball dimples, to increase speed as air moves over the surface. The bottom rim started from a discontinued Gateway driver and was modified with micro-striations that work like the sandblasted top to boost glide and distance. It has just enough turn to make it a real contender for the longest-flying disc in your bag.

Stability

The Redwood is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
