Discmania
SKU: DG-DM-SLNMD5 (REF374-21)
Description
The Discmania S-Line MD5 midrange is Discmania's first true overstable midrange, molded in S-Line plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on reliable overstable approaches. If you're shopping for a dependable MD5 for your bag, this S-Line run is a great place to start.
S-Line Plastic
S-Line offers excellent grip in all weather conditions with great durability. It ages well, so your disc doesn't change drastically in flight after a few run-ins with trees.
The Mold
The MD5 was Discmania's first true overstable midrange and has long been a fan favorite. Famous for its overstable, accurate flight, it's a workhorse you can count on when it matters most, with a low-profile, beadless feel and a smooth release on backhand and sidearm shots.
Stability
The MD5 is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 4 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
