Discraft Disc Golf Brodie Smith D4arkhorsemen Cryztal Meteor Midrange Disc 5/5/-3/1 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Discraft CryZtal Meteor midrange is an understable midrange built for glide, molded in CryZtal plastic. It's built for players who want effortless straight flights, and it's at its best on straight flights and technical control shots. This listing is the Brodie Smith release of the Meteor.
CryZtal Plastic
CryZtal is a crystal-clear, transparent version of Z plastic. Discraft frequently uses it for special-edition runs and big tournaments, so your Meteor gets Z's durability with a clear, collectible look.
The Mold
The Meteor is designed for glide and effortless straight flights. In Z, it breaks in slowly into an easy-turning midrange for technical control shots.
Stability
The Meteor 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 at the end. 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 | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -3 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
