Nimitz | Lone Star Disc · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Nimitz" by Lone Star Disc serves as a versatile distance driver in the speed-11 category, covering controlled distance throws in the fairway range. With its overstable baseline, it provides a reliable foundation for powerful throws, while its moderate turn potential allows for more flexible lines compared to pure utility drivers. The Bravo plastic offers a grippy feel and a flatter underside on the wing edge, ensuring precise hand contact. For intermediate players, this disc is a workhorse in the bag, reliably executing both backhand and forehand throws as well as overhead shots. In flight, it exhibits behavior that oscillates between a slightly beat-in Wraith and more stable fairway control. The speed of 11 demands sufficient arm speed, while the glide of 5 ensures solid carry. The turn of -1 activates with a clean release, enabling controlled hyzer flips with smooth S-curves without uncontrolled drifting. The fade of 3 kicks in decisively at the end, reliably bringing the flight path back—stronger than many modern hybrid drivers but less extreme than purely overstable bombers. Some throwers experience slightly more high-speed turn than the numbers suggest, making this disc intriguing for distances beyond 120 meters. When thrown on hyzer angles, the "Nimitz" holds the line steadily and delivers predictable landings with strong fade. Flat releases or slight anhyzer starts result in controlled turnover phases that transition elegantly into the fade finish. For forehand throws, the disc offers enough stability to prevent unwanted rollovers, while backhand players with moderate arm speed benefit from the balance between turn and fade. Intermediate players will find a dependable distance slot here—one that maintains control even in the wind and grows even more versatile over time.
