Discs that fly like the Discraft Drone
The Drone is a overstable midrange (5/3/1/4). A very overstable midrange with the widest rim in Discraft's mid line: low glide, effectively no turn and a hard, early fade. Built for headwinds, forehand flex shots, tight spike hyzers and skips. No longer a regular-production mold, so mostly found in special runs.
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 Drone.
