DGA Disc Golf Spark Torrent Distance Driver 14/5/-1/2 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The DGA Spark Torrent distance driver is DGA's very fast, max-distance driver, molded in Spark plastic. It's built for power players chasing max distance, and it's at its best on max-distance backhands and forehands. 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 Torrent is a very fast, stable distance driver geared toward max distance for backhand and forehand throws. It gives a decent amount of high-speed turn with a predictable fade, plus a comfortable wide rim.
Stability
The Torrent 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 | 14 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the DGA Torrent good for beginners?
Not as a first driver. At 14 speed it needs real arm speed.
Is the DGA Torrent overstable?
Not really. The Torrent is stable, rated 14/5/-1/2, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
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.
What disc is similar to the DGA Torrent?
The DGA Spark Hurricane (12/5/-1/3) is DGA's slower staple distance driver.
How far does the DGA Torrent fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 430 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
