The Thought Space Athletics Ethos Animus is an overstable distance driver cast in Ethos, TSA's stiffest workhorse plastic, closer to Innova's Champion blend but with a bit more stability baked into the run. The Animus plays like the Wraith of the TSA lineup, an 11 speed shape that gets more use than a bigger rimmed driver.

Flight Numbers: 11 / 5 / 0 / 2

Ethos is translucent, stiff, and built to withstand real damage without losing its stability, the plastic TSA reaches for when durability matters more than a shimmery finish. It sold out fast on its first run since it holds its overstable flight through years of tree hits instead of beating in toward flippy like a softer blend.

Thrown flat this disc sails right on a backhand release, flips up briefly, and glides before finishing with a fade that stays noticeable even on a well worn copy. It handles torque well on a flex line, but it never fades so much that a recreational player cannot manage it on a straight fairway shot.

Good for an intermediate or advanced player who wants a durable Wraith style driver that will not soften up over a season, and a fair choice for anyone who needs one overstable driver to handle both backhand and forehand shots. Best shot: a flex line into the wind where you need the fade to hold at the very end.
