by
Ace Line
SKU: DG-AC-BG-DS-175 (REF325)
Description
The Ace Line BaseGrip D Model S distance driver is a stable, do-it-all distance driver, molded in BaseGrip plastic. It's built for players of all power levels, and it's at its best on gliding hyzers, hyzer-flips, and S-curves. Ace Line discs are made by Prodigy, and this BaseGrip run is a dependable pick for your bag. Discs in this listing weigh 170-175g.
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
Ace Line compares the D Model S to a Swiss Army knife. Thrown with power, it rides a slow turn before a soft fade; with less power or more finesse, it flies straighter before softly fading out. Long gliding hyzers, powerful hyzer-flips, and beautiful S lines are all on the menu. 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 S 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
| 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 | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Ace Line D Model S good for beginners?
Yes. The D Model S's predictable flight makes it easy to trust as you learn.

Not really. The D Model S is stable, rated 13/6/0/2, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.

What disc is similar to the Ace Line D Model S?
The Ace Line BaseGrip D Model US (13/6/-3/1) is the understable version for easier distance.
How far does the Ace Line D Model S fly?
