# Legacy Mongoose The "Mongoose" by Legacy Discs serves as an understable fairway driver for controlled turnover shots and longer anhyzer lines. With a speed rating of 9, it sits between classic fairway drivers and distance drivers, while its pronounced turn of -3 and moderate fade of 1 allow for reliable right-turning flights for right-handed backhand throws. It works particularly well as an introductory disc for higher speeds, as it performs reliably even with lower arm speed. In Icon and Swirly Icon plastics, it delivers consistent flight characteristics, while Legend versions start off slightly more stable. The flight path features early turn, gently pushing the disc to the right and creating extended anhyzer lines when released flat. The high glide rating of 5 keeps the "Mongoose" airborne longer, maximizing distance even without maximum throwing power. Hyzer flips are dependable—a slight hyzer angle at release allows the disc to flip up to flat before transitioning into a controlled turnover. The moderate fade at the end prevents excessive drift and ensures predictable landings. Compared to the Innova Sidewinder, it follows similar flight paths but responds more directly to anhyzer input. For beginners, the "Mongoose" works as a first driver, enabling distance gains without requiring perfect technique. Advanced players use it strategically for turnover shots in wooded areas, rollers, or as a utility disc in tailwinds. On forehand throws, it demands precise angle control, as the turn kicks in quickly. The disc remains understable even after extended use, developing even more pronounced turnover characteristics as it wears in. For players with moderate arm speed, it unlocks lines that aren't achievable with more stable fairway drivers.
