Ambush | Goliath Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Ambush" by Goliath Discs is an understable distance driver designed for players with moderate arm speed who seek maximum distance without excessive power. With a speed rating of 12, it demands significantly less power than traditional high-speed drivers and is suitable for throwers with a range of 80–110 meters. The high glide rating of 6, combined with a turn of -3, creates extended flight phases, while a fade of 2 ensures controlled landings. Particularly in the Gloasis and Oasis plastics, the disc offers a grippy feel and reliable turnover behavior, making it easier for beginners to achieve longer throws. In flight, the Ambush reacts extremely sensitively to release angles and turns more aggressively than its flight numbers suggest. Even with a 20–25 degree hyzer release, it flips up to flat and transitions into a sustained turnover. The combination of speed 12 and turn -3 makes precise release technique essential—minor adjustments in angle determine whether the disc flies straight or develops pronounced S-curves. The fade of 2 engages late and mildly, allowing the disc to hold its turnover line before gently pulling left. For backhand throwers with moderate arm speed, this flight characteristic delivers maximum distance without requiring overpowered throws. In practice, the Ambush excels at hyzer flips on open fairways, where it flips from a steep hyzer angle to flat and then glides straight. Its extreme understability makes roller throws effortless, covering long distances with ease. Advanced players use it strategically for long turnover shots in headwinds or controlled anhyzer lines through tight gaps. Beginners benefit from its forgiveness at moderate throwing speeds, while intermediate players can experiment with release control to unlock different flight paths. For technically clean throws beyond the 100-meter mark without maximum arm speed, this disc is a reliable choice.
