Despair | Doomsday Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Despair" by Doomsday Discs is a versatile midrange with a speed of 5, glide of 4, turn of -1, and fade of 1, operating in the straight to slightly understable range. This setup allows it to handle controlled fairway lines up to about 75 meters, making it suitable for precise approaches as well as technical wooded shots. The Shockwave plastic combines a comfortable stiffness with a grippy feel, ensuring reliable handling in varying conditions. Particularly for players seeking a beginner-friendly midrange, the Despair offers accessible flight characteristics without requiring excessive power. In flight, the disc shows a straight initial phase with moderate glide before the -1 turn gently kicks in at medium arm speed. Up to about 75 meters, it maintains a neutral path with minimal fade, making it ideal for tunnel shots and hyzer flips. With too much power, it may turn over, but it remains controllable and easy to manage. The minimal fade of 1 ensures soft landings without sharp hooks, while the overall flight resembles established straight mids like the Mako3. Advanced players also use the disc as an oversized putter for longer approaches, as its flight characteristics reward clean releases. For backhand throws, the Despair reliably delivers straight lines and gentle anhyzer curves, while forehand throws maintain stable flight paths with moderate power. Beginners will appreciate its forgiving nature without the overstability that often pulls shots left. Intermediate players value its versatility for controlled turnovers and straight approach shots in wooded areas. As an all-around midrange for technical courses and precise distance control up to 75 meters, the Despair fills the gap between overly stable workhorse discs and purely understable discs.
