Growler | Lone Star Disc · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Growler" by Lone Star Disc is an understable distance driver with a speed of 12, designed for controlled long-range shots. With a glide of 6, it achieves above-average hang time, while a turn of -3 and fade of 2 define a pronounced rightward curve with a moderate finish. It excels in maximizing distance for medium to high arm speeds, particularly in Alpha and Bravo plastics. As a distance driver with clear turnover potential, it bridges the gap between uncontrollable high-speed bombers and stable fairway options. In flight, the disc quickly turns after release. The combination of speed 12 and turn -3 creates a sustained rightward drift mid-flight, extended by the glide of 6. The moderate fade of 2 brings the disc back under control at the end without sacrificing distance. With hyzer angles, it flips to flat before turning over, while flat releases transition directly into a rightward curve. The disc responds sensitively to throw speed—higher power increases turn, while more moderate throws keep the flight straighter. For players with medium arm speeds, the "Growler" works as a distance maximizer on open fairways and for long anhyzer lines. Advanced players use it strategically for controlled turnover shots beyond 120 meters, while intermediate players benefit from its combination of speed and flip characteristics. Forehand throws require precise timing, as the high turn can quickly become uncontrollable. When used backhand-dominant, it delivers repeatable S-curves with a reliable fade finish. Beginners may find it challenging, but as skills improve, it offers noticeable distance gains over slower alternatives.
