Discmania
SKU: DG-DM-NEO-PDM (REF1285-15)
Description
The Discmania Neo Paradigm distance driver is a speedy Evolution driver with fairway-driver feel, molded in Neo plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on S-curves and controlled distance. If you're shopping for a dependable Paradigm for your bag, this Neo run is a great place to start.
Neo Plastic
Neo is a semi-translucent premium plastic and the most durable and rigid of Discmania's Evolution line plastics. It still has some flex, and its special finish gives it an awesome grip.
The Mold
The Paradigm feels like a fairway driver but steps up the speed. Its slightly understable nature makes it easy to carve S-curve anhyzer shots, yet it's stable enough to throw dead straight or on reliable hyzer lines without breaking the wrong way.
Stability
The Paradigm 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.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 12 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 6 | Huge glide that floats a long way with little effort. |
| Turn | -1.5 | 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. |
