It is also an excellent choice for overhand and thumber shots. Use the Zone OS in a strong headwind and know that there is no chance of it turning over.
It has a comfortable grip which makes it easier to throw. Use the Zone OS when you need accuracy without the worry of overshooting your target.

Discmania C-Line FD1
Flight Ratings
Speed: 7 | Glide: 4 | Turn: 0 | Fade: 2
The FD1 is Discmania’s most complete Originals fairway driver - Reinvented. It is a slightly overstable fairway driver designed to fill the gap between the FD and the FD3. The straight flight with a dependable fade makes it an outstanding disc for accurate shots that need to hit the fairway.
It will be similar to an FD when new except with a touch less glide and slightly more fade. This makes it a good option for windier situations. It has a flat profile and smooth release for whether you throw backhand or forehand.
Whether you need stability to handle wind, a forced turnover shot or any shot that requires accuracy, you can always rely on the FD1.

Discmania Eagle McMahon Horizon Cloudbreaker
Flight Ratings
Speed: 12 | Glide: 5 | Turn: -1 | Fade: 3
The Cloudbreaker is Eagle McMahon’s Creator Series DD3, and is now available in Horizon plastic. Horizon plastic is a combo of 2 S-Line plastics to create a gorgeous multi-color disc where the colors match beautifully.
The Cloudbreaker is the ultimate distance driver for strong throwers that want to reach their maximum distance potential. Players with faster arm speeds will be able to achieve a full flip up flight that turns before ending in a reliable fade. Those with less experience will be able to utilize this discs glide to get them far down the fairway.
It is an absolute bomb whether you throw distance backhands or forehands. When throwing forehand, you can rely on the overstability to not turn over, but rather carry straight until the predictable fade kicks in.
Add the Cloudbreaker to your bag to obtain that extra bit of distance you need to your drives.

Kastaplast K1 First Run Stig
Flight Ratings
Speed: 6 | Glide: 5 | Turn: -2 | Fade: 1
The Stig is the first understable fairway driver out of Kastaplast’s line up. It will be an ideal driver for beginners to start on being only a 6 speed and having a fair amount of turn, similar to the well-known beginner disc, the Innova Leopard.
But don’t limit this driver to beginners, as more advanced players will find that they can achieve a long, gliding turn that will push right, before ending off with a slight fade. Optimize the Stig’s control to make your way through tight fairways and towards the basket.
Kastaplast’s K1 plastic is one of the best you will find. It is super durable and will take a long time to beat in. The feel has a nice combination of firmness and gumminess.
Release date: April 20th
