Ursa Major | XCOM Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Ursa Major" by XCOM Discs operates in the controllable distance driver category, requiring moderate throwing power. As a speed-12 disc with pronounced glide, it’s ideal for long throws on open fairways, offering reliability in changing conditions thanks to its stable baseline. Compared to purely overstable bombers like the Destroyer, the Ursa Major allows players with medium arm speed to achieve greater distances without immediately fading out. In flight, the combination of speed 12, glide 5, turn -2, and fade 2 creates a balanced flight profile. After release, the disc develops a moderate turn, initiating a gentle rightward curve on flat throws or slight anhyzers before the two-stage fade reliably corrects the path leftward at the end. The high glide potential noticeably extends the flight phase, maximizing distance without uncontrolled turning. In tailwinds, the turn intensifies, while headwinds stabilize the disc and activate the fade earlier. For forehand throws, the Ursa Major delivers straight to slightly turning lines, making it great for long anhyzer shots. Backhand throwers benefit from hyzer flips, where the disc transitions from moderate hyzer into a long, straight flight phase. With a recommended skill level of 3, this disc is aimed at players with solid throwing technique who want to combine distance and control without needing maximum arm speed.
