  • Speedi 7

    The first number is the speed of the disc. It can range from 1-14. Putters are rated 1-3 and are designed to function at low speeds any player can use. Mid range discs are 4-5 and require more speed when thrown to achieve their desired results. A fairway driver will be speed 6-8, these discs fly mostly straight. Discs that are speed 9 and above are classified as distance drivers. Throwing a distance driver takes a significant amount of power to get up to speed, players are rewarded with additional distance if they learn to control these discs. New players are cautioned that speed does not equal distance. Due to the difficulty of controlling higher speed discs, a beginner could find that a light weight disc with a speed of 6 or 7 could fly farther for them than a max distance driver with a speed of 13. In fact most new players should learn by throwing putters only so they can develop the proper form. After a few weeks they'll begin to get reliable results and are ready ×

  • glidei 4

    This second rating is numbered 1 – 6. Glide describes a disc’s ability to remain in flight. Discs with higher glide ratings will fly further than discs rated lower in this category. A high glide rating is good when the goal is distance, but can have the wrong effect for putts and approach shots. Sometimes overshooting the basket can be worse than not making it far enough. Low glide ratings such as 1 or 2 are popular with upshot putters because they don't fly for distance but for a little extra control. Glide is different for different kinds of discs as well. A putter with a glide of 4 will stay airborne much longer than distance drivers with a glide of 4 ×

  • Turni 0

    Third in Innova’s flight rating system is turn. Turn is rated from 1 to -5?, with -5 being the most understable. The lower the numer, the more striking turn will result. A newer, slower-throwing disc golfer using an understable disc with a ‘high’ negative turn rating will enjoy great distance, as the disc isn’t going to fade as quickly. Also, players whose farthest throw is 200 feet or less probably won’t notice any turn in the flightpath. Once a player gets more speed and power, they will see their understable discs start turning to the right at the beginning of the flight before fading to the left at the end. Discs rated -4 or -5 are popularly used for rollover or roller throws by experienced players. Some discs have 0 turn which means that they'll start to fade when they run out of speed during the flight and at no point will they turn. It's important to carry at least one disc with a high turn rating in your bag for rounds. ×

  • Fadei 2

    This last rating category ranges from 0 to 5; with a disc rated 0 being the straightest finishing, while a disc rated 5 fading the most during the last portion of the flight. Even discs rated lowest in turn will still ‘fade’ as the disc slows at the end of the flight. A disc with a higher fade rating is useful for a hole with a dogleg. Straight finishing discs are great for control, discs with little fade are normal. If you're a Right-hand backhand thrower you'll find that almost every disc wants to fade to the left at the end of your flight. Discs with a 4 or 5 fade rating are excellent in heavy winds. They sacrifice a little of the distance but make sure that the disc won't do anything unexpected. Discs with a low fade are more susceptible to being affected by the wind. ×

Product Description

The Discmania C Line FD1 is a stable to overstable fairway driver. It's a great complement to the Discmania lineup and can be a disc you pull out when your FD is perhaps too glidey for a situation. As a 7 speed it's capable of being thrown by newer players as their control disc, and advanced players for reliable stable shots up to 300 feet.

The flight path of the FD1 is straight for as long as the disc has power. Then it's going to get down to the ground on a soft hyzer. With a glide rating of 4 you can predict the FD1 as more point and shoot than glide to the target. The advantage of this disc is that you can swing it a little wider and expect it to get down sooner than other fairway drivers. It's a great choice for forehand or backhand, so let the FD1 rip either way you're comfortable throwing.

C Line plastic from Discmania is a premium blend of durable, see through plastic. It's what you see pros throwing on the Disc Golf Pro Tour and local players in your parks because it works everywhere. It's got good grip and can handle smacking a tree or two. It's an excellent plastic choice for the FD1 because you will be throwing this disc hard through some tunnels and you want it to maintain that stable flight path after you hit something a time or two.

The C-Line FD1 from Discmania fills that stable, no nonsense, low glide fairway driver spot in your bag. It's perfect for anytime you wish you had a longer more stable mid. Or for when your distance drivers feel like overkill on a hole. Get one and see why Discmania had to create this.
