Distance Drivers

A distance driver is used for the very longest throws in disc golf and can fly over 100 meters in the right hands. Distance drivers are characterized by the flat profile and a wide belt, so it cuts well through the air. At Disc Tree we have a wide range of distance drivers from the most popular brands.

Disc golf distance drivers

A disc golf distance driver is the disc used for the very longest throws. It can be anything from 60 meters to over 100 meters. A distance driver is characterized by the fact that the profile is very sharp, so that it can fly through the air with the least possible air resistance.

Which distance driver should I choose?

If you are completely new to disc golf, it is very tempting to also choose one or more distance drivers. This is often because you see experienced players throwing very far with these discs. To make a distance driver fly far requires a lot of technique and power in the throw.

It is especially important for beginners to start with distance drivers in a lower weight class between 150 and 170 grams. In addition, it can be advantageous to choose an understable distance driver at the start. An understable distance driver is a disc where the sum of the last 2 flight numbers (turn and fade) is less than -1.

Does a distance driver fly farther than other discs?

How far your disc flies is largely about the technique and power with which you throw it. It is important that you choose a disc that fits well with the level and power you throw with instead of simply choosing the fastest driver. Discs with a speed rating of 12, 13 or 14 are designed to be thrown very quickly. It is only when the disc reaches the speed that it will utilize its full potential.

If, as a new player, you want to start throwing longer, it is recommended that you start with fairway drivers, where the result and the distance will often be the same as you can get from a distance driver.
