SKU: DG-DM-GCL-GBTS-FD2 (REF2317-3)
Description
The Discmania Glow C-Line FD2 fairway driver is Discmania's reliable control fairway driver (formerly the FD1), molded in Glow C-Line plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on controlled drives with a dependable finish. This listing is the Gannon Buhr 2025 Great Lakes Open Triumph Series release of the FD2. This Triumph Series edition celebrates Gannon Buhr's clutch victory at the 2025 Great Lakes Open, and it's the first time this mold has been available in Glow C-Line.
Glow C-Line Plastic
Glow C-Line is a very durable blend of C-Line plastic that glows in the dark, reserved for fundraising projects and specialty discs. C-Line is Discmania's most durable plastic, and these discs wear down very slowly. They keep their original flight for an extended time and perform predictably, avoiding damage better than any other plastic even in heavy woods or on rugged courses. It has good grip, a showstopper see-through look, and is typically the most stable blend in Discmania's lineup.
The Mold
The mold previously known as the FD1 is now the FD2, with trusted stability and a consistent fade for controlled drives and dependable finishes.
Stability
The FD2 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 | 7 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
Flight Chart
Discs That Pair Well With the FD2
- Discmania Neo Splice (9/3/0/4): A very overstable, low-glide fairway driver.
- Discmania Neo Essence (8/6/-2/1): The do-it-all understable fairway driver in Discmania's Evolution line.
- Discmania S-Line FD (7/6/0/1): Discmania's precision fairway driver.
- Discmania S-Line MD3 (5/5/0/1): Discmania's do-it-all midrange.
FAQ
Is the Discmania FD2 good for beginners?
Yes. The FD2's predictable flight makes it easy to trust as you learn.
Is the Discmania FD2 overstable?
Not really. The FD2 is stable, rated 7/4/0/2, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between Glow C-Line and C-Line plastic?
Glow C-Line is durable C-Line plastic with glow-in-the-dark properties.
Does the Gannon Buhr 2025 Great Lakes Open Triumph Series FD2 fly differently than the standard FD2?
No. It's the same FD2 mold, rated 7/4/0/2. What's different is the stamp, edition, and plastic, which can change the feel and grip a little.
What disc is similar to the Discmania FD2?
The Discmania S-Line FD3 (9/4/0/3) is a more overstable workhorse fairway driver.
How far does the Discmania FD2 fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 310 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
