The "Beacon" by Full Turn Discs serves as an overstable midrange for controlled throws at medium distances. With a speed of 5, it covers the classic midrange spectrum and is particularly suited for precise approaches and fairway shots where reliable fade behavior is essential. The inner rim bead provides extra grip during release and supports clean releases even under pressure. In flight, the combination of moderate glide (3) and minimal turn (0.5) creates a stable flight path. The disc holds its line straight for long distances before the pronounced fade (3) kicks in at the end of the flight phase. This characteristic makes it resistant to crosswinds and prevents unwanted drift to the right. The late but consistent fade ensures predictable landing points, even at higher arm speeds. On the course, the "Beacon" performs reliably for hyzer throws, where its natural fade enhances the curve. Flat releases also remain stable, pulling left in a controlled manner at the end. For forehand throws, the disc offers a secure option due to its stability, while backhand players benefit from its predictability on approach shots. Intermediate players will find it a dependable workhorse for situations requiring precise fade, while more experienced players can use it strategically for utility lines and wind shots.
