Breath | Essential Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Breath" by Essential Discs is an understable midrange designed for controlled turnovers and long glide flights. With a speed of 5, it fits into the classic midrange category and is particularly accessible for beginners, while still serving as a useful tool for experienced players in specific throwing scenarios. Its versatility ranges from straight approaches to gentle right-turning lines and technical wooded passages requiring precise flight paths. In the air, the combination of high glide (6) and turn (-2) defines its core characteristics. The disc readily holds anhyzer angles after release and maintains this line over long distances before the moderate fade (1) ensures a controlled finish. The pronounced glide noticeably extends flight time, allowing respectable distances even with moderate arm speed. Stability remains predictable—the "Breath" won’t turn uncontrollably but follows a smooth, predictable rightward curve for right-handed backhand throws. Equally suited for turnover lines from a flat release or hyzer flips where it stands up and glides straight, the disc also handles controlled forehand anhyzer shots without tipping over too soon. Beginners benefit from its forgiving flight and ability to generate distance with lower power, while advanced players use the "Breath" strategically for technical lines where more stable midranges would fade out early.
