Reflection | Essential Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Reflection" by Essential Discs is an understable fairway driver with a speed of 7, designed for controlled distance throws on curving lines. Its accessible flight profile makes it suitable for players of all skill levels who seek precise turnover paths and long glides without aggressive power. The disc excels in technical wooded courses as well as open fairways, where controlled right turns (for right-handed backhand throws) or reliable anhyzer lines are needed. The flight characteristics feature a noticeable turn of -2 at moderate arm speed, while the glide rating of 5 ensures extended float and maximizes distance even on relaxed throws. With a speed of 7, it fits the category of classic fairway drivers like the Leopard or River, and its gentle fade of 1 at the end ensures a smooth leftward finish. This combination produces flat, long-distance flights without a harsh fade, making the disc highly predictable. In practice, turnover lines from flat releases or slight hyzers work exceptionally well—the "Reflection" reliably turns right and holds the line until a gentle fade. For hyzer flips, a moderate hyzer angle allows the disc to flip up and glide straight for extended distances. Forehand throws with anhyzer also benefit from its controlled rightward movement. As a beginner-friendly disc, it helps players achieve longer throws, while experienced players can use it for precise shot shaping and roller attempts. However, headwinds should be approached with caution, as the disc may turn over too early.
