Description
The Ace Line BaseGrip M Model US midrange is a reliable, understable midrange for any bag, molded in BaseGrip plastic. It's built for players of any skill level, and it's at its best on dead-straight lines and beautiful turnovers. Ace Line discs are made by Prodigy, and this BaseGrip run is a dependable pick for your bag. Discs in this listing weigh 177-180g.
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
Thrown hard on a flat angle, the M Model US rides gently to the right before a mild finish. It also holds a turnover angle for a long time before finishing flat. Work it at different angles and you can get dead-straight flights and beautiful turnovers from the same disc. With a slightly larger diameter than drivers, M Model discs are designed for control and are a great tool for learning different flights on drives and approaches.
Stability
The M 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 | 4 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
