Cyclone | Discraft · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Cyclone" by Discraft serves as a versatile fairway driver with a speed of 7, designed for controlled distance throws on mid-length fairways. Approved by the PDGA in 1993, this model has proven itself with its balanced combination of range and precision. It excels in straight fairway lines as well as controlled turnover shots, performing well in both wooded courses and open fields. With its flat top and comfortable rim, it suits players of various skill levels looking for a reliable all-rounder in their bag. In flight, the "Cyclone" exhibits a stable initial phase with moderate glide (4), followed by slight turn (-1), enabling controlled S-curves. A fade of 2 ensures a predictable finish without aggressive overstability. When new, the disc flies straight to slightly right-drifting lines, while wear and tear increase its turnover potential over time. This progression makes it an adaptable tool for long-term use. The flight path remains stable even at moderate arm speeds, resisting early dumping. Available in ESP plastic, it offers a grippy feel with sufficient flexibility, while X Line and Pro-D plastics allow for quicker break-in. For backhand throws, the "Cyclone" works well on straight fairway lines with a gentle finish, while hyzer approaches deliver controlled distance and reliable fade. Advanced players use it for precise anhyzer lines and turnover shots through tight gaps. Beginners benefit from its forgiving flight characteristics, rewarding straight throws without excessive stability. As a fairway option between midrange and faster distance drivers, it bridges the gap for players seeking dependable control at moderate speeds.
