Understable Distance Drivers

A negative turn number is what makes a distance driver understable, meaning the disc curves right through the high speed part of a right hand backhand flight instead of holding a straight line. That turn is exactly what a slower arm needs to get full distance, since a disc that turns over on its own does not need raw power to flip up and glide.

Beginners and slower arms bag these first because a driver like the Innova Halo Star Mamba will hyzer flip and turnover with minimal snap in the release. Advanced throwers use the same understability for a different reason, laying down rollers and long turnover shots that a stable or overstable driver cannot pull off, a job the Discraft ESP Hades handles well.

Once your arm speed grows and a disc starts flipping too far past straight, step up to stable distance drivers or the more resistant overstable distance drivers. For a slower, more controllable understable option, check understable fairway drivers instead.
