Discs that fly like the Discraft Anax
The Anax is a straight driver (10/6/0/3). Paul McBeth's signature 10-speed driver. It glides flat with little turn and holds a straight line before a dependable fade, and it's glidier and longer than the Vulture or Avenger. That glide makes it a poor choice into a headwind, and fresh ones can finish strongly before mellowing with wear into a straight-to-fade driver. Gives slower arms reliable fairway distance and faster arms more.
