Comet | Discraft · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The Discraft "Comet" is one of the most versatile midranges for straight lines and controlled turnovers. With a speed of 4 and glide of 5, it can be thrown far even with moderate arm speed, while its turn of -2 and fade of 1 ensure gentle right turns on backhand throws and precise hyzer flips. Especially in the popular Z Line, ESP, and Big Z plastics, the disc combines durability with reliable flight characteristics. Its pronounced dome and narrow beaded rim create an unusual feel that may take some getting used to at first but quickly proves its worth with outstanding flight performance. In the air, the "Comet" exhibits honest, form-dependent behavior. With a clean release, it flies on nearly any desired line—from flat straight shots to gentle anhyzers and controlled turnovers. The high glide rating of 5 noticeably extends the flight phase, allowing for distances beyond its speed class. The disc reacts directly to angle mistakes, immediately revealing flaws in technique through unintended turns. At the same time, it rewards precise throws with exceptional straight-flight stability and a gentle fade-out that avoids abrupt landings. The minimal fade of 1 ensures predictable finishes without strong hooks. For beginners, the "Comet" offers an ideal learning disc, providing instant feedback on throwing technique while still enabling impressive distance. Advanced and experienced players value it as a reliable tool for tunnel shots, hyzer flips, and precise approaches on tight fairways. It can be controlled confidently with both forehand and backhand, though backhand produces more natural turnover lines. Those who overcome the initial adjustment to its deep profile gain a midrange that remains useful in nearly any situation.
