Chicane | Finish Line Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Chicane" by Finish Line Discs functions as an overstable midrange for controlled approach shots and precise approaches in the mid-distance range. With a speed of 4 and fade of 3, it handles situations requiring reliable landings under pressure—whether in wind, tight fairways, or when the basket demands a direct shot. The composite material provides a grippy feel, enabling quick releases and secure hand contact in varying conditions. As a complement to classic approach discs like the Zone, the Chicane offers comparable stability with a slightly more moderate fade, allowing for more flexible landing zones. In flight, its characteristics show a stable initial phase with minimal turn, followed by a noticeable but not extreme fade at the end of the trajectory. The glide of 3 keeps the disc airborne longer than pure utility midranges without causing uncontrollable drift. At slower throwing speeds, a slight turn component emerges, opening up additional line options without compromising its fundamental overstability. This balance makes the Chicane a versatile tool that works on straight push lines as well as moderate hyzer angles. For advanced players, the Chicane serves as a reliable approach partner, performing precisely even on forehand throws and holding up in headwinds. Intermediate players benefit from its predictable flight path but need sufficient throwing power to achieve the desired distance. The combination of controlled fade and grippy plastic makes it the top choice for approaches between 50 and 90 meters, whether attacking the basket directly or shaping hyzer lines.
