The "Lava" by Obsidian Discs is an understable midrange disc designed for controlled turnovers and versatile approaches in the mid-distance range. With a speed of 5, it covers typical midrange distances and excels in fairway situations requiring straight-to-right turning flights. This disc bridges the gap between neutral all-rounders and pronounced turnover discs, making it ideal for wooded fairways with moderate curves. In flight, the disc exhibits noticeable understability due to its glide of 5, turn of -1.5, and fade of 1. After the acceleration phase, it transitions early into a gentle right turn, sustained by its high glide. The moderate fade ensures a controlled finish without fully neutralizing the turnover motion, resulting in predictable flight paths and precise landing zones—even on tight approach lines. On anhyzer angles, the rightward movement intensifies, creating pronounced turnover lines, while flat releases produce subtle S-curves. For backhand players, the "Lava" is particularly useful for shots that need to bend around obstacles or execute controlled hyzer flips with a rightward drift. Forehand throwers benefit from the disc's natural anhyzer tendency. Players with lower arm speed will find the "Lava" an accessible midrange that performs well even with moderate power, while experienced throwers can leverage it for specific shot-shaping needs.
