Hyena | Wild Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Hyena" by Wild Discs serves as a versatile fairway driver for controlled mid-range distance throws. With a speed of 9, it covers the spectrum between technical fairway shots and powerful drives without requiring maximum arm speed. Its use ranges from tight wooded gaps to open fairways, where precise line shaping matters more than pure distance. As an understable option in the fairway segment, it offers flexibility for different release angles and wind conditions. In flight, its characteristics show an initial turn of -2, causing the disc to drift right before a fade of 2 ensures reliable fadeback at the end of the flight path. The glide rating of 5 noticeably extends the flight phase, delivering solid distance even with moderate throwing power. The combination of turn and fade creates an S-curve that’s predictable with a clean release. The stability allows for controlled turnovers without the disc flipping uncontrollably. The "Hyena" excels in hyzer flips thanks to its tendency to rise out of a hyzer angle and fly straight to slightly right-turning. Anhyzer throws amplify the turn effect for sweeping right curves. Backhand throws benefit from the natural S-curve, while forehand shots with a flat release yield stable straight flights. Designed for both beginners and advanced players, it’s an accessible fairway driver for technical lines without demanding high throwing speed.
