The Discraft Ares is a stable distance driver with plenty of glide and a touch of turn. It carries far before finishing with a reliable fade. The Ares suits powerful backhand throws, forehands, flex lines, and long drives.
Long drives are the main strength of the Discraft Ares. It pushes forward for most of the flight before moving into a dependable finish. The extra glide helps it cover serious distance when thrown with enough speed. Players with stronger arms can get a long, useful flight without the disc turning too far.
The Ares handles strong throws without turning too far from its intended line. Its stability keeps the flight under control while still allowing plenty of forward movement. Players can use it for powerful drives when they need both distance and a dependable finish.
Flight Characteristics and Control
The Ares starts with strong forward carry and can show a small amount of turn at higher power. It keeps moving down the fairway before the fade takes over. The flight stays easy to read, with most of the turn happening early and the fade coming in later. This gives players room to shape longer lines without losing control of the finish.
Flat throws can produce long, straight flights before fading left for right-handed backhand players. Hyzer releases may flip slightly while continuing forward. Anhyzer and flex throws can create long S-shaped flights as the disc turns before working back. The Ares also works well for forehand drives when a player wants a distance driver that will not turn too easily.
Discraft Ares Flight Numbers
Flight numbers of 12 | 6 | -1 | 2 give the Discraft Ares high speed, plenty of glide, slight turn, and a dependable fade. The flight can cover a lot of ground while still giving players control over the finish. Its mix of turn and fade makes it useful for several distance lines.
Long backhand drives, forehand distance shots, controlled flex lines, and power hyzers all suit the Ares. Players with enough arm speed can also use it for long shots in changing wind.
Beginners will find the Ares too fast at lower arm speeds. The disc can fade early and lose much of its forward carry. A slower distance driver will usually be easier to control while learning proper form. Players can return to the Ares as their throwing speed improves.
Intermediate players with enough arm speed can use the Ares for long drives and controlled flex shots. It can also handle wide-open tee shots where there is room for the disc to move. Clean releases help bring out its glide and controlled turn.
Advanced players can push the Ares on full-power backhand and forehand throws. It handles torque well and keeps moving forward before the fade takes over. Flex lines, long hyzers, and windy distance shots all suit its flight. Players can also use it when they want more forward carry than a strongly overstable distance driver provides.
