The Lone Star Discs Bravo BearKat is an understable midrange with a beaded rim and a shallow profile, named after founder Cody Colston's alma mater, the Sam Houston Bearkats.

Flight Numbers: 5 / 5 / -2 / 1

Bravo is Lone Star's flexible, gummy plastic, the kind that stays grippy in cold weather and on wet grass when firmer plastics start to slip. It is not the most durable blend Lone Star makes, but it is one of the most comfortable to hold, and the flex helps it absorb tree hits instead of chipping.

Thrown flat it holds a light turn through the middle of the flight and finishes with a gentle fade, which sets up long, sweeping anhyzer lines and clean hyzer flips depending on the release. The beaded rim and shallow depth make it an easy disc to release cleanly on a forehand.

Good for newer players who want an easy, understable midrange to learn shot shaping with, and for experienced players who want a specific tool for anhyzer lines and hyzer flips rather than a straight workhorse.

Want a straighter, more neutral midrange for comparison? The Discraft ESP Buzzz is the standard most bags are built around. Prefer a similar straight flight with a bit more glide? The Axiom Neutron Hex is worth throwing side by side. Shop more understable midranges.

Speed 5, glide 5, turn -2, fade 1. Diameter 21.7 cm, rim width 1.3 cm, max weight 179 g.
