Bowie | Lone Star Disc · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Bowie" by Lone Star Disc is an overstable distance driver designed for powerful throws and demanding wind conditions. With a speed rating of 13, it caters to advanced players seeking a reliable disc for utility shots and controlled fade on long distances. Its wide rim and pronounced overstability make it the top choice when other discs would drift uncontrollably. Particularly in Bravo plastic, it offers a sturdy feel with a distinctive rim edge that enhances grip during powerful throws. In flight, the Bowie shines with minimal turn (-1) paired with a strong fade (3), enabling controlled flex shots where the disc reliably hooks back after a brief turn. Despite its overstability, the glide of 5 ensures respectable distance while maintaining stability even in headwinds. On hyzer lines, the late hook intensifies, allowing for precise skip shots. Stability remains consistent across plastic types, with Bravo and Alpha offering similar flight characteristics. For forehand throws, the Bowie excels—its wide rim and overstability produce reliable flex shots with a strong finish. Advanced players leverage it for long hook shots and utility throws requiring maximum control. Hyzer flips into the wind also work with sufficient arm speed—the disc turns briefly before snapping back left. With a recommended skill level of 5, it demands proper power but rewards players with exceptional reliability in challenging situations.
