The "Shard" by Obsidian Discs serves as a versatile fairway driver with a controllable speed rating of 7.5. With a maximum weight of 175 grams, it appeals to throwers seeking precise fairway lines without requiring excessive arm speed. The H9 plastic dominates in practice, offering a balance of grip and durability for various weather conditions. Positioned as an understable option in the fairway segment, this disc bridges the gap between beginner-friendly discs and aggressively overstable drivers. In flight, its characteristic behavior features moderate turn (-1.5) paired with high glide (5). When released flat, the disc develops a gentle rightward drift for right-handed backhand throws before stabilizing with a mild fade (1). The "Shard" particularly shines in hyzer flip scenarios: launched with slight hyzer angle, it reliably flips up and maintains remarkably straight flight paths over considerable distances. This combination of turn and controlled fade creates predictable lines without abrupt landing movements. The high glide noticeably extends flight time, compensating for moderate arm speeds. Advanced players will find it a precise tool for straight fairway shots and controlled turnover lines. Intermediate players also reach for the "Shard" when seeking distance paired with control. Its understable nature makes it accessible for those refining their technique, while experienced throwers can execute intentional anhyzer lines and hyzer flips. On tight fairways with limited lateral space, it delivers reliable results without aggressive right or left breaks.
