Discmania Disc Golf S-Line FD1 Fairway Driver 7/4/0/2 - Choose Exact
Description
The Discmania S-Line FD1 fairway driver is the most complete Originals fairway driver, molded in S-Line plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on accurate fairway drives in the wind. If you're shopping for a dependable FD1 for your bag, this S-Line run is a great place to start.
S-Line Plastic
S-Line offers excellent grip in all weather conditions with great durability. It ages well, so your disc doesn't change drastically in flight after a few run-ins with trees.
The Mold
The FD1 fills the gap between the FD and FD3, with a stable flight and a dependable fade for accuracy. It feels similar to the FD, but with a notch less glide and more low-speed fade for windy conditions. Players love its relatively flat profile and smooth release on backhand and sidearm shots.
Stability
The FD1 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.
Flight Numbers
