Discmania Disc Golf Active Glow Premium Rockstar Fairway 8/5/-2/1 - Choose Exact
Description
The Discmania Active Premium Glow Rockstar fairway driver is a beginner-friendly Active fairway driver, molded in Active Premium Glow plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on easy distance and smooth glide. If you're shopping for a dependable Rockstar for your bag, this Active Premium Glow run is a great place to start.
Active Premium Glow Plastic
The glow version of Active Premium adds glow-in-the-dark properties on top of Premium's high durability. Active Premium is a translucent, highly durable plastic, and Active Premium discs are commonly notably more overstable than their Active counterparts.
The Mold
The Rockstar opens up untapped distance and control for newer players with smooth flight and superb glide. More experienced players will find it moderately understable with more high-speed turn. A thin, rounded nose and gentle wing make it comfortable in the hand, backhand or forehand.
Stability
The Rockstar is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.

| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
