Malta | Discraft · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Malta" by Discraft serves as an overstable midrange for controlled throws in windy conditions and precise approach shots in the mid-distance range. With its compact design and bead on the inner rim, it provides a secure grip for both forehand and backhand throws. This disc bridges the gap between moderately stable all-around midranges and extreme utility discs—ideal for players seeking reliable fade without excessive resistance. Available in ESP and Big Z plastic, it delivers consistent performance over multiple rounds. In flight, the "Malta" operates with a speed of 5 and glide of 4, functioning as a straightforward midrange that converts moderate speed into controlled flight paths. A turn of 1 allows for a brief neutral phase on flat releases with sufficient power before the fade of 3 reliably pulls the disc left. This combination makes it predictable: on hyzer, the overstable characteristic strengthens for secure landings against the wind, while on anhyzer, it can execute an S-curve with a defined finish. The stability holds up at higher speeds, while slower throws activate the fade sooner. Compared to a Roc3, the "Malta" feels more compact in hand due to its smaller diameter and flies slightly straighter with less glide. For forehand-dominant players, the "Malta" works as a primary midrange for approach shots between 60 and 90 meters, where the bead adds extra stability on release. Backhand throwers use it for flex shots and controlled hyzer lines, where the disc moves straight briefly before cleanly fading left. Advanced players appreciate its balance between stability and feel—it doesn’t react as extremely as pure utility discs but provides enough resistance for technical lines. Intermediate players will find the "Malta" a reliable companion in windy conditions and situations where a dependable fade matters more than maximum distance.
