Full Turn
SKU: DG-FTR-GRND-GDE (REF1698-2)
Description
The Full Turn Ground Guide midrange is Full Turn's low-profile, glidey midrange, molded in Ground plastic. It's built for players of every level, from slower arm speeds to advanced throwers, and it's at its best on straight mid lines and smooth turnovers. If you're shopping for a dependable Guide for your bag, this Ground run is a great place to start.
Ground Plastic
Ground is Full Turn's standard baseline plastic, favored for its exceptional, tacky grip and comfortable control. It wears in faster than premium plastics, but it's excellent for putters and midranges where grip is a priority.
The Mold
The Guide is a low-profile, beadless midrange with tons of glide. For slower arm speeds, it's a straight-flying midrange that's easy to control, and for more advanced players it produces a smooth turnover. Rated 5/5/-2/1, it has plenty of high-speed turn and only a gentle fade, which makes it a great disc for learning lines or shaping shots through the woods.
Stability
The Guide is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
