DGA Disc Golf Spark Sail Distance Driver 11/5/-5/1 - Choose Exact Disc
by
DGA
SKU: DG-DGA-SPK-SAIL (REF2660-3)
Description
The DGA Spark Sail distance driver is DGA's very understable, easy-throwing distance driver, molded in Spark plastic. It's built for beginners and slower arm speeds, plus faster arms who want rollers, and it's at its best on effortless glide, turnovers, and rollers. DGA has been part of disc golf since the very beginning, founded by the sport's creator, "Steady" Ed Headrick.
Spark Plastic
Spark, also called Sparkle Line (SP), is the most durable and longest-lasting plastic in DGA's lineup. It's transparent to translucent, with hundreds of tiny sparkle flakes suspended throughout, which makes it easily the prettiest blend to look at. It's a bit slicker than ProLine but can stand up to the toughest abuse on the course, so your disc will hold its flight for a long time.
The Mold
The Sail has effortless glide and a smaller rim that's very easy to throw. It's perfect for beginners and slower arm speeds looking for a disc that will turn, and faster arms can use it for rollers and turnover shots.
Stability
The Sail 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. 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.

FAQ
Is the DGA Sail good for beginners?
Yes. DGA calls the Sail beginner friendly and perfect for slower arm speeds.
Is the DGA Sail overstable?
No. The Sail is understable, rated 11/5/-5/1. Its turn makes it a better fit for turnovers and easy distance than hard fades.
What's the difference between Spark and ProLine plastic?
Spark is DGA's most durable plastic, translucent with sparkle flakes and a slightly slicker feel. ProLine is a tacky, durable premium blend that beats in a little faster.

The DGA Spark Tempest (13/5/-3/2) is a faster understable driver with a wider rim.

With an average arm, expect roughly 375 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
