Ace Line Disc Golf F Model US BaseGrip Fairway Driver 170-175g - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Ace Line BaseGrip F Model US fairway driver is an understable fairway driver with a noticeable finish, molded in BaseGrip plastic. It's built for lower arm speeds wanting longer S-shots and power players who want an understable option, and it's at its best on long S-curves and controlled turnovers. 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
The F Model US's high-speed turn makes it drift right for right-hand backhand throws, but what makes its flight unique is its noticeable finish. That gives lower arm speeds a great disc for longer S-shots and gives power players an understable option that can handle some torque.
Stability
The F 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 | 10 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
