Kraken | Divergent Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Kraken" by Divergent Discs serves as an understable fairway driver for beginners and players with moderate throwing power. With a speed of 8 and noticeable turn, it offers an accessible option for first controlled distance throws without requiring high arm speed. The Max Grip plastic provides a tacky feel while maintaining durability, making it especially suitable for changing weather conditions. In practice, the disc behaves similarly to a significantly more flippy Leopard—it initiates turn early, holds a stable line, and finishes with moderate fade. For throwers with slower arm speed, it reliably delivers straight to slightly right-turning flights, while stronger arms can use it intentionally for turnover shots. In flight, the "Kraken" exhibits a gentle yet distinct turn with controlled glide. The flight begins with slight rightward movement, continues through the mid-phase, and concludes with fade. The combination of speed 8 and turn -2 ensures complete flight phases without premature drifting, even with moderate throwing power. Compared to classic fairway drivers like the Leopard, it feels slightly more direct and less floaty but achieves similar distances with reduced technical demand. The stability profile remains consistent across different throws and forgives minor angle errors on release. For hyzer flips, moderate power is enough to transition the disc from a slight hyzer angle into a straight line. On anhyzer, it develops long, controlled turnover lines without abrupt dumping. Backhand throws benefit from its natural rightward movement, while forehand releases also produce stable flights with clean form. Beginners and intermediate players, in particular, will find this a reliable companion for fairway drives between 70 and 100 meters—one that displays full flight phases even at slower arm speeds and supports technical progression.
