Aquila | XCOM Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Aquila" from XCOM Discs is an overstable fairway driver with a speed of 9, designed for controlled distance throws up to around 110 meters. With its pronounced fade, it excels in precise approaches on tight fairways and shots into the wind where predictable flight paths are essential. Its versatility spans technical wooded gaps to open fairways with crosswinds, where less stable discs would drift too early. In flight, the Aquila's speed 9 and glide 4 deliver solid forward momentum without excessive lift. A turn rating of 0 means the disc holds its line at flat release angles without veering right, even on powerful throws. The fade of 3 ensures a strong left hook at the end, reliably pulling the disc sideways for an early finish. This combination of neutral mid-flight and strong fade makes it predictable but demands sufficient arm speed to fully utilize its speed 9 potential. On hyzer releases, the Aquila enhances its already noticeable fade, landing sharply to the left. Flat releases stay straight before the fade kicks in, making it suitable for short S-curves with late hooks. Forehand throws benefit from its stability, as the disc resists unwanted turnover even with lateral force. With a recommended skill level of 5, the Aquila is aimed at experienced players who rely on overstable fairway drivers for technical situations and wind resistance.
