Sphinx | Infinite Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Sphinx" by Infinite Discs is an understable fairway driver with a speed of 9, designed for controlled turnovers and long, gliding flights. With its moderate rim width and comfortable grip depth, it's especially suited for beginners and players seeking effortless right-turning flight paths. The I-Blend plastic offers a tacky feel with pleasant flexibility, while Metal Flake Glow C-Blend and G-Blend provide additional options for different grip preferences. On the fairway, this disc bridges the gap between straight midranges and power-hungry distance drivers—even at 175 grams, it remains accessible and forgiving of technical imperfections. In flight, the "Sphinx" exhibits early turn with exceptional glide, significantly extending throws with reduced arm speed. At just 50–75% power, it develops smooth rightward movement without flipping uncontrollably—the moderate fade of 1 brings the flight path gently back to center. This combination of -3 turn and high glide allows for long distances without aggressive release angles. At elevations around 1300 meters and in light wind, the flight remains predictable, while stronger tailwinds can enhance the turnover effect. Compared to classic turnover drivers like the Latitude 64 Diamond, the "Sphinx" offers greater control with similar accessibility. For hyzer flips, flat release angles are enough to achieve sustained right-turning flights—advanced players use this trait for precise approaches through wooded fairways. Backhand throws benefit from the comfortable release and forgiving stability, while forehand throws with controlled power also produce clean turnovers. Beginners experience their first distance-throw successes with the "Sphinx," while intermediate and advanced players strategically deploy it for tunnel shots and controlled roller setups. As an entry-level driver into the speed-9 class, it remains a staple in the bag for specific right-turning lines.
