The "Houston" by Lone Star Disc fills the midrange niche between straight control and reliable fade. With a speed of 5 and glide of 5, it's ideal for fairway shots in mid-range distances where precise landings are crucial. Lone Star positions this disc as an alternative to established models like the Buzzz or Mako3, but with the brand's signature Alpha plastic. For players who struggle with the feel of other manufacturers' discs, the "Houston" offers familiar flight geometry with a distinct material touch. In flight, the "Houston" demonstrates a stable, straight path with controlled fade at the end when thrown at moderate arm speed. With 0 turn and 2 fade, it holds its release line without unpredictable drift before reliably fading left. With more power, the straight phase extends significantly without the disc turning over—the fade remains predictable. This combination of straight flight and stable finish makes it useful for tunnel shots and approaches requiring precise landing placement. Its overstable tendency ensures the line holds even in headwinds. For backhand throws, the "Houston" suits players beyond beginner level—it forgives release angle mistakes without immediately flipping right but requires enough spin to maximize glide. Hyzer throws with a flat release land controllably, while slight anhyzer angles allow for gentle S-curves. On forehand shots, the disc remains stable and works well for direct approach lines. Players seeking a reliable workhorse midrange for wooded and open courses will find the "Houston" a versatile tool with consistent flight characteristics.
