Trash Panda Fairway Driver 8|6|-3|1

The Trash Panda Ozone is an understable fairway driver made from 100% recycled plastic. This makes it a great choice for players who want to be environmentally conscious while still enjoying high-performance discs.

• Flight Numbers: 8 | 6 | -3 | 1. This translates to:
  • Speed 8: Fairway driver speed, meaning it's faster than a midrange but not a maximum distance driver.
  • Glide 6: Excellent glide, allowing it to stay airborne for longer and achieve good distance, especially with its understability.
  • Turn -3: Significantly understable, meaning it will turn to the right (for right-hand backhand throwers) or to the left (for left-hand backhand throwers). This makes it suitable for hyzer flips and turnover shots.
  • Fade 1: A relatively low fade, indicating a gentle leftward finish (for right-hand backhand throwers) at the end of its flight.
• Stability: Understable. The Ozone is designed to be "flippy", making it easier to achieve distance without needing a lot of power. It's particularly well-suited for:
  • Slower arm speeds: Helps players with less power achieve longer flights.
  • Hyzer flips: When thrown on a hyzer angle, the disc will "flip up" to flat and fly straight or turn slightly before finishing.
  • Turnover shots: When thrown flat or with a slight anhyzer, it will turn significantly and hold the line for a long time.
  • Rollers: Some players find it works well as a roller disc.
• Plastic: The Ozone is made from Trash Panda's premium recycled plastic blend. This blend has been updated to be slightly more flexible and durable than earlier versions, according to Trash Panda. The feel of the plastic can vary slightly depending on the recycled source materials.
• Other features:
  • Dimensions: Diameter: 21.20 cm; Height: 1.90 cm; Rim Width: 1.90 cm.
  • PDGA Approved: Approved on January 8, 2024.
  • Sustainable Practices: Trash Panda avoids hot stamping or using foil to further minimize waste.

While it's generally considered a very versatile and beginner-friendly disc, some users with smaller hands have reported discomfort on forehand throws with the stiffer plastic blends. However, this discomfort is reportedly not present with backhand throws. Some reviewers suggest that it's less sensitive or "touchy" than other understable fairways, making it easier to control. Overall, the Trash Panda Ozone offers a fun and reliable option for players seeking an understable fairway driver with a focus on sustainability.
