Pelican | AquaFlight Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Pelican" by AquaFlight Discs serves as an understable fairway driver for controlled throws in the mid-range distance. With a speed of 6, it bridges the gap between classic midranges and faster fairways, making it ideal for players who haven't yet developed high arm speed. Its versatility ranges from straight approaches to intentional turnover throws, where the disc naturally turns right without requiring excessive force. During flight, the combination of glide 5 and turn -3 defines its core behavior: the disc lifts quickly after release and exhibits a pronounced right turn, while the high glide value extends its airtime. The moderate fade of 1 ensures the disc only drifts slightly left at the end rather than dumping abruptly. This flight pattern allows for smooth curves without steep landing angles, enhancing distance control. If thrown with too much hyzer angle, the disc can flip into a hyzer-flip and maintain a straighter trajectory. For beginners and newcomers, the "Pelican" provides an accessible way to achieve longer throws, as it fully turns over even at moderate throwing speeds. Turnover lines work well with flat releases or slight anhyzer, while hyzer-flips become manageable with a bit of practice. The disc performs equally well for both backhand and forehand throws, though forehand throwers will notice the turn effect more distinctly. As an entry-level fairway driver, it helps players learn different release angles without the challenge of overstability.
