Discs that fly like the Discmania FD (new)
The FD (new) is a straight fairway (7/6/0/1). The FD (Fairway Driver) is a straight, glidey point-and-shoot fairway driver that finishes with a modest fade, slightly more than its 1 suggests for some players. Its listed turn only shows with real power, and C-Line runs flatter and more stable than the more workable S-Line. It's a common every-hole workhorse for intermediate players and a reliable straight shot for everyone.
These are the most widely thrown discs that fly closest to it, ranked by flight numbers, real-world stability and what players use them for. Highlighted numbers differ from the FD (new).
