Dynamic Discs Distance Driver 11|4|0|2.5

The Sergeant is an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced players who have the arm speed to get it up to speed. Beginners might find it a bit too overstable, as it will fade out quickly if not thrown with enough power. It's a great disc for experienced players who want control, dependability, and a reliable end-of-flight finish for shots that a slower fairway driver can't quite reach.

Flight Numbers Explained

Speed: 11 - This indicates the Sergeant is a true distance driver, designed to be thrown with significant power to achieve its intended flight path. It's faster than a typical fairway driver but a bit slower than maximum-speed drivers like the Raider, making it a good bridge between the two categories.
Glide: 4 - The glide rating is moderate. While it may not "hang" in the air as long as some high-glide discs, it still offers a surprising amount of carry for an overstable driver.
Turn: 0 - This is a key characteristic. The Sergeant has no natural high-speed turn. When thrown flat and hard (for a right-hand backhand thrower), it will not flip over to the right. It will hold a straight line initially before its fade kicks in.
Fade: 2.5 - This disc has a reliable and strong low-speed fade. As it slows down at the end of its flight, it will predictably hook to the left (for a right-hand backhand thrower)

General Characteristics

Predictable Stability: The most important thing to know is its stability. The Sergeant is an overstable disc, which means it will consistently finish with a strong fade.
Workable in Wind: Its overstability makes it a reliable disc in windy conditions, as it resists turning over when encountering a headwind.
Versatile for Different Throws: The relatively flat top and comfortable rim profile make it suitable for both backhand and forehand throws. It handles the torque of a sidearm release well and can be trusted to fade back consistently.
Shot Shaping:
- Flat release: Expect a nice straight flight followed by that reliable, strong fade at the end.
- Hyzer release: It will hold the hyzer angle and continue on that curving path throughout its flight.
- Anhyzer release: Even if you force it onto an anhyzer line, its overstability is strong enough that it will fight out of the turn and fade back toward the left (for a RHBH thrower).
