Discmania FD3
Main Features
Discmania says this about the FD3: "The FD3 is targeted at everyone who can appreciate an overstable driver you can trust in all conditions. The FD3 features an aerodynamic low profile and a very comfortable concave lower rim. The initial release comes with vibrant C-line material that endures wear very well and provides an awesome grip. The flight numbers for the FD3 are set at 9, 4, 0, 3. Despite being very close to our best-selling Power Driver (PD) in terms of flight ratings, the FD3 offers a noticeably more overstable flight pattern. This disc can be used for everything from touch sidearms that get you out of trouble to full-power drives off the tee. You can always rely on FD3’s long but powerful and forward-penetrating fade."
When facing a fierce headwind, the Discmania FD3 offers that Firebird-like flight needed to keep your disc in the fairway. With its speed and overstability, it provides the right amount of control for both backhand and forehand shots. Even though it shares very similar flight numbers to the PD, the FD3's flight is typically more overstable. Discmania designed the FD3 to be a workhorse for advanced and professional players. It's a great utility driver for those with less arm speed.
