by
Ace Line
SKU: DG-AC-BG-DMUS (REF2397-1)
Description
The Ace Line BaseGrip D Model US distance driver is an understable distance driver built for beginners and slower arm speeds, molded in BaseGrip plastic. It's built for beginners and players with slower arm speeds, and it's at its best on max-distance drives, long turnovers, and rollers. Ace Line discs are made by Prodigy, and this BaseGrip run is a dependable pick for your bag.
BaseGrip Plastic
BaseGrip offers a tactile feel for a sure grip every time you reach for it. It finds a great balance between stiffness and the ability to wear in to perfection, and it's a cost-effective option that doesn't sacrifice quality or performance in any weather.
The Mold
The D Model US is built for beginners and players with slower arm speeds. It wants to turn over and hold before coming out of it to softly glide back down. The extra glide and soft fade help players with less power find max-distance flights, while bigger arms can use it for long turnovers and rollers. D Model discs are built for maximum distance, with a sharp nose and slight dome for speed and glide and a medium-depth rim for a comfortable grip across hand sizes.
Stability
The D Model US 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 at the end. 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.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 13 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 6 | Huge glide that floats a long way with little effort. |
| Turn | -3 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
