Discmania Disc Golf Lone Howl 3 PD Colten Montgomery Driver - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Discmania Metal Flake C-Line PD distance driver is Discmania's best-selling power driver, molded in Metal Flake C-Line plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on power and control. This listing is the Colten Montgomery Lone Howl 3 release of the PD. It's the third Lone Howl from Colten Montgomery and the first PD ever released in Metal Flake plastic, with a triad of wolves that pays tribute to the 2019 original.
Metal Flake C-Line Plastic
Metal Flake C-Line is normal C-Line plastic with little metal flakes mixed in. The durability and feel are exactly the same, and the flakes make colors pop while keeping the plastic transparent. It may change the flight slightly depending on the mold. 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 PD offers power and control in the same disc and may be the best all-around driver for advanced and pro-level players. It's one of Discmania's all-time best-selling molds. It starts out somewhat overstable but becomes very versatile as it wears, so many players carry multiple PDs.
Stability
The PD is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard 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's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
