DGA
SKU: DG-DGA-AT-BAN (REF2642-1)
Description
The DGA Atmos Banzai fairway driver is DGA's straight-flying, fairly overstable fairway driver, molded in Atmos plastic. It's built for players who want stability they can trust, backhand or forehand, and it's at its best on straight drives with a dependable finish. DGA has been part of disc golf since the very beginning, founded by the sport's creator, "Steady" Ed Headrick.
Atmos Plastic
DGA's Atmos plastic line features one-of-a-kind shimmering color combinations, so every disc is unique.
The Mold
The Banzai flies straight out of the hand with a dependable finish. It has the stability to gain your trust even when thrown with power, backhand or forehand.
Stability
The Banzai is stable-to-overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard 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's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
