Fairway Drivers

Disc golf fairway drivers

A disc golf fairway driver is often used from the tee and is a faithful companion for disc golf players of all levels. It is characterized by having a relatively low profile, so that it easily cuts through the air. A fairway driver is used for the slightly longer throw from 40 to 100 meters.

Which fairway driver should I choose?

As a new player, it is recommended that a fairway driver be your primary driver for the longest shots. Depending on which disc you choose, early in your disc golf career you will be able to throw relatively far, with the right fairway driver.

It is important to think about both descent stability and weight when choosing which fairway drivers you want to bring onto the course. For newer players, it can be an advantage to have an understable disc in a lighter version. The lighter discs are those that weigh between 150 and 170 grams.

What is the stability of a fairway driver?

To find out whether a disc is understable, stable or overstable, you can look at the disc's flight numbers. These are the 4 numbers that are on the disc, and are shown on all golf discs in the shop. By adding the last two numbers together, the ones called Turn and Fade, you get an indication of the stability of the disc. If the sum of turn and fade is less than -1, the disc is understable. If sum is between -1 and 1, the disc is stable, and if it is above 1, the disc is overstable.
