Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-RWPROTO-FOS (REF2449-4)
Description
The Discraft Fossil putter is Ricky Wysocki's go-to overstable approach disc. It's built for players who need precise, torque-resistant approaches, and it's at its best on slow, precise approaches and wind. This listing is the Ricky Wysocki Prototype release of the Fossil. Ricky Wysocki is a 2x PDGA World Champion.
Prototype Release
Prototype runs are early test-flight versions released before a mold's full production. They give you an early look at the Fossil and are a favorite for collectors.
The Mold
The Fossil is built for slow, precise, torque-resistant shots that need to finish with control. It can be powered up without turning over, trusted in the wind, and used for forehand or backhand touch shots. It isn't flashy in flight; it's made to be reliable, predictable, and incredibly useful in scoring range.
Stability
The Fossil 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.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 3 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 1 | Very little glide, so it drops and stops near its target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
