Bayonet | Lone Star Disc · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Bayonet" by Lone Star Disc serves as a distance driver for experienced throwers who rely on forehand drives and controlled distance shots. With a speed of 13, it targets advanced players with the necessary arm speed. Early production runs show significantly more stability than the official flight numbers suggest—instead of the listed turn of -2, the disc behaves closer to -0.5 with a fade of 3, comparable to an Innova Ape or a stable Raider. The Alpha plastic further enhances this effect, while Bravo variants are slightly more accessible and closer to Shryke-like flight characteristics. Later runs are expected by the manufacturer to align more closely with the original numbers. In flight, the "Bayonet" displays a straight to slightly anhyzer path with moderate glide and reliable fade at the finish. Its actual stability makes it wind-resistant and easy to control in headwinds, developing only minimal turn at high arm speeds. The fade kicks in reliably, bringing the disc back under control. This flight profile positions it between a utility driver and a workhorse for long distances—less flippy than expected but predictable in challenging conditions. The "Bayonet" excels for forehand throws, as its stability prevents unwanted turnovers even on off-axis releases. Backhand players with powerful throws can use it for long hyzer lines or straight drives with a dependable finish. Advanced players will find a distance driver that prioritizes control over maximum distance—beginners should opt for slower discs. The "Bayonet" works as a stable distance driver for players who value precision over extreme turn and already have experience with speed-13 discs.
