Albatross | Daredevil Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Albatross" by Daredevil Discs operates as an overstable distance driver with a speed of 14, but it’s primarily aimed at throwers with advanced technique and arm speed. With its wide rim and domed top, it demands a powerful release—making it unsuitable for beginners, while intermediate players with sufficient power benefit from its combination of distance and reliable fade. This disc excels in situations requiring maximum distance with controlled finish, proving to be a dependable option on long fairways. In flight, the "Albatross" reveals behavior that deviates from the manufacturer’s specs: instead of the expected stability with a -2 turn, it can show turnover tendencies on flat releases but consistently returns to a fade path. The high glide rating of 6 noticeably contributes to its distance performance, while the fade of 3 ensures a clean finish. Particularly on full-power forehand throws, it exhibits moderate fade rather than extreme overstability—behaving more flexibly than the flight numbers suggest. This characteristic makes it more versatile than pure utility drivers but demands precise angle management at release. On hyzer lines, the "Albatross" delivers reliable distance gains, while flat throws require controlled power to prevent unwanted turnover. For forehand-dominant players with adequate arm speed, it offers an appealing balance between distance and predictability. Backhand throwers should consciously select their release angle to manage the turnover tendency. Intermediate players with strong arms will find in this high-performance plastic a distance driver that, despite its speed requirements, doesn’t fall into the purely overstable utility niche—instead combining genuine length with a calculable flight path.
