Samson | Goliath Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Samson" by Goliath Discs enters the market as an extremely overstable midrange, clearly targeting players who demand maximum reliability in windy conditions and for utility shots. With a speed of 5 and fade of 3.5, it sits at the far end of the stability spectrum for midranges, making it ideal for approach shots where a dependable fade without unwanted turn is crucial. The swirly Oasis plastic provides excellent grip while maintaining sufficient stiffness, ensuring precise releases even under pressure. In flight, the Samson exhibits uncompromising overstable behavior: Even with a vertical anhyzer release, the disc quickly snaps back to hyzer and finishes with a strong fade. Its moderate glide of 3 keeps the trajectory controllable, preventing the disc from overshooting the target. A turn rating of 0 means that even powerful throws won’t produce unwanted rightward drift—the Samson holds the line it’s thrown on. This extreme stability makes it a reliable choice for headwind situations where less stable midranges become unpredictable. For forehand throws, the Samson offers clear advantages due to its predictability: Spike hyzers and steep approach shots land precisely, while controlled fade flex shots are achievable. Backhand players use it strategically for dogleg-left holes or as a skip disc on hard surfaces. Recommended for advanced and experienced players with the necessary arm speed and technique to unlock this utility midrange’s full potential, the Samson may be less suitable for beginners due to its pronounced stability—it demands power and precision but rewards them with absolute reliability in the bag.
