The Elevation Binx in Newcomer plastic is a stable fairway driver molded from a firm, bendable silicon rubber blend. Newcomer is stiffer than Elevation's other rubber runs, which gives it more torque resistance and lets it handle a faster release than the brand's floppier plastics.

Flight Numbers: 8 / 5 / 0 / 1

Newcomer plastic grips well in cold and wet conditions and takes a beating without cracking, since rubber flexes around impact instead of chipping. It stays firmer through its life than Elevation's superflex blends, so the flight stays close to the numbers for longer. New players especially benefit here, a softer plastic that keeps changing shape makes it hard to learn what a disc is supposed to do, and Newcomer holds steady while you figure out your release.

Thrown flat it holds a straight line with barely any turn, and with more power it turns just slightly before a soft, gentle fade as it slows down. That makes it a solid downhill driver, since it sits down fast instead of carrying long past the target. Beginners can throw it hard without worrying about it flipping over, and anyone who wants a control driver that behaves the same way every throw will get along with it. It is a fairway driver first, not a distance tool, so save it for holes that need accuracy over raw length.
