Capricornus | XCOM Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Capricornus" by XCOM Discs is an understable midrange designed for beginners and players with moderate arm speed. With a speed rating of 5, it can be thrown with control for distances up to around 70 meters without requiring excessive power. It excels on straight to slightly right-turning lines, where precise approaches and clean landings are key. Its flight characteristics feature a glide of 4, turn of -2, and fade of 0. After release, the disc gently turns right and maintains this line until it lands—practically without any fade at the end. This combination makes it forgiving on nose-up throws and ensures consistent flight paths even on flat releases. The pronounced right turn is easy to manage as long as throwing speed isn’t too high. With stronger arm speed, the disc may turn uncontrollably, but it remains predictable for beginners. From a backhand throw, the "Capricornus" flies on a slight turnover line with a straight hyzer release, making it ideal for approaches around obstacles or landing zones. For forehand throws, it can be thrown on anhyzer for long, right-curving shots. Especially for beginners, this disc provides an easy introduction to understable flight patterns without requiring advanced techniques. It also works reliably as a roller, as the lack of fade promotes a long, smooth roll.
