The Thought Space Athletics Aura Pathfinder is a stable midrange in TSA's grippy Aura plastic, close in flight to a Discraft Buzzz with a bit less glide. It is the plastic that gets tried first in this lineup before branching out to the others.

Flight Numbers: 5 / 5 / 0 / 1

Aura feels similar to MVP's Neutron blend, grippy and durable with a slight dome that fits a power grip well. It holds its stability for a good stretch of play, though a hard tree hit or two can knock a little turn into it sooner than the glidier Ethos version would show.

Thrown flat it holds a dependable, controllable line with a short fade at the end, and it handles hyzer and anhyzer releases without much surprise. It does not carry quite as much glide as some other TSA plastics, so expect a slightly shorter flight than the numbers alone might suggest.

Good for beginners who want a straightforward, dependable midrange and for advanced players who want a Buzzz-style disc with a different feel in the hand. Anyone who plays a lot of wooded courses will appreciate how it holds up to tree contact.
