Openwater | Crosslap Disc Golf Parks

The Crosslap "Openwater" is positioned as a Speed 12 distance driver designed for players with sufficient arm speed. With a turn of -1.5 and fade of 2, it combines controlled high-speed turn with reliable finish. The Platinum Plus plastic dominates its use, offering a tactile experience comparable to premium plastics from other manufacturers based on user feedback. This disc excels for maximum distance in tailwinds or on long fairways with predictable turnover, while its overstable core characteristics maintain control in headwinds. In flight, the "Openwater" exhibits a slight right drift at sufficient throwing speed before the moderate fade corrects the trajectory left. A glide of 4 ensures good hang time without excessive drift. Its stability allows powerful hyzer releases that straighten into a flat or slightly turned line. At lower arm speeds, the disc behaves noticeably more stable with reduced turn, reinforcing its classification as non-beginner-friendly. Flight characteristics remain predictable in wind—provided enough power is applied. For advanced and experienced throwers, the "Openwater" unlocks versatile lines: hyzer flips for max distance, power shots with controlled fade, or turnovers with proper angle adjustments. Forehand throws benefit from its overstable foundation, while backhand players leverage the turn-fade balance for precise fairway drives. Beginners should opt for slower drivers first, as the "Openwater" won't realize its flight potential without adequate speed. Intermediate and advanced players will find a reliable distance driver for demanding situations where control and range are equally crucial.
