The Divergent Discs Kraken in Max Grip Glow plastic is an all purpose fairway driver built to fly straight and predictable for players who do not want to fight turn or fade on every throw, with a glow blend that lights up under a charge for night rounds.

Flight Numbers: 8 / 5 / -2 / 2

Max Grip is Divergent's signature blend, soft and tacky in the hand even when the plastic is fresh, and the Glow version keeps that same texture while adding a charge and glow finish for evening rounds. It grips well in cold or wet weather, and the softness means it beats in a little faster than a stiffer premium plastic, which nudges this Kraken toward slightly easier turnover as it wears.

On a smooth, level release it holds a controlled, mostly straight line with a light turn in the middle and a gentle fade to close it out, without the drama of a fully understable driver. Hyzer it and it flips up to flat on a normal arm speed throw, a dependable pick for tight fairway shots and tunnel drives where you cannot afford a surprise. New disc golfers get an honest, predictable flight to learn from, and anyone with a smooth release gets consistent results forehand or backhand.

New to fairway drivers? A grippy, forgiving disc like this is a good place to start, and if you want to compare it against a longer running mold, the Discraft ESP Heat flies a similarly easy line with more turn.
