Leo | XCOM Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Leo" from XCOM Discs is a distance driver designed for beginners and players with moderate arm speed. With a speed rating of 11, it offers distance potential without requiring excessive power. Its pronounced understability makes it a reliable tool for controlled distance, even for those still refining their throwing technique. Positioned between classic fairway drivers and high-speed max-distance discs, it shares similarities with models like the Tern or Roadrunner but features an even more accessible flight characteristic. In flight, the Leo exhibits noticeable right-turning movement for backhand throws. Its turn rating of -3 ensures early rightward drift after release, while a glide of 5 keeps the disc airborne, building distance. The moderate fade of 1 results in only a gentle finish, allowing the disc to trace extended S-curves or hold a sustained rightward turn when thrown flat. This combination of high glide and strong turn enables long flights without aggressive fading. For beginners, the Leo provides an excellent introduction to distance drivers, as it performs well even with lower throwing power. Turnover lines come naturally without requiring anhyzer angles, while hyzer releases produce controlled S-curves. Backhand throws benefit from the disc's inherent rightward movement, while forehand throws generate stable anhyzer paths. Whether launching over open terrain or navigating obstacles on the right, the Leo delivers dependable flight characteristics without technical demands.
