Lone Star Discs Frio (Bravo)
1
The Lone Star Discs Frio in Bravo plastic is the softer, grippier build of Lone Star's straight fairway driver, easy enough for a new player to learn with on day one.
Flight Numbers: 7 / 5 / -1 / 1
Bravo plastic is grippier and more flexible than Lone Star's Alpha blend, so it beats in faster and gives up a bit of long-term durability for extra feel in the hand. Some rounds it holds a hair more fade than the flight numbers suggest, especially once it has a season of wear on it, so do not be surprised if it finishes a touch stronger than a pure straight flier.
Thrown flat it flies dead straight for most of the distance before a light fade closes out the flight, and the dead straight stability makes it easy to experiment with different release angles since the disc will hold whatever line you put it on. It handles a hyzer well too, without flipping out on you the way a flippier driver can.
New players get a fairway driver that will not fight them while they are still learning to control a release, and it is a solid pick for tunnel shots through the woods where a straight, predictable flight matters. If your arm speed grows past what this disc can handle, the flight will start to turn over a little sooner.
Want a firmer plastic that holds its stability longer? The Alpha Frio is the same mold with less flex. Need a comparable control driver from another brand? The Discraft ESP Heat flies in the same speed class. See the rest of our stable fairway drivers.
