The "Eclipse" by Discraft stands out as a versatile fairway driver with a strong focus on beginners and an overstable core characteristic. With a speed of 7, it bridges the gap between controllable midranges and faster distance drivers, while its larger diameter and midrange-like rim make the transition easier for newcomers. Since its introduction in the 1980s, the disc has established itself as a reliable companion for first fairway throws, particularly suited for straight lines with predictable fade. Available in Pro-D and ESP plastic blends, it delivers consistent flight characteristics, with Pro-D excelling in varying conditions thanks to its grippy surface. In flight, the Eclipse shines through the interplay of high glide and moderate turn. The turn rating of -2 allows for a gentle rightward curve for right-handed backhand throws, while the fade of 2 ensures a dependable finish. Advanced players leverage this combination for hyzer flips—the disc starts on a hyzer angle, flips up due to the turn, and glides on a near-straight path. Stability remains predictable even at higher arm speeds, preventing uncontrolled turnovers. The generous glide noticeably extends flight time, compensating for lower throwing speeds. For beginners, the Eclipse provides an ideal introduction to longer throws without the intimidation of excessive speed demands. Flex shots with S-curve trajectories work well due to its understable tendency, even without perfect technique, while experienced players use it for precise anhyzer lines and controlled turnovers. Forehand throws benefit from the moderate fade, keeping the disc stable without premature braking. As an all-around performer for distances between 70 and 100 meters, it reliably covers the typical fairway range.
