by
DGA
SKU: DG-DGA-CAFF-TYPH (REF2653-3)
Description
The DGA ProLine Typhoon distance driver is Catrina Allen's glidey, max-distance driver, molded in ProLine plastic. It's built for bigger arms and players seeking easy distance, and it's at its best on controlled hyzer-flips and max-distance drives. This listing is the Catrina Allen First Flight release of the Typhoon. Catrina Allen is a 2x World Champion.
ProLine Plastic
ProLine (PL) is one of DGA's two premium plastics: hardy and long-lasting with a tacky grip. PL discs beat in a little faster than DGA's other premium blend, Spark (Sparkle Line), but they still hold their intended flight well into the disc's life. Durability and enhanced grip are its calling cards.
The Mold
Designed by 2x World Champion Catrina Allen to fill the slot between the Rogue and the Hurricane, the Typhoon has exceptional glide and a moderate fade, and it's becoming the max-distance driver of choice for many DGA team members. Bigger arms get controlled hyzer-flips, while everyone else gets forward-skipping max-distance shots.
Stability
The Typhoon is stable-to-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. 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.
