by
Full Turn
SKU: DG-FTR-GRND-STC (REF1704-4)
Description
The Full Turn Ground Shortcut approach disc is Full Turn's very overstable utility approach disc, molded in Ground plastic. It's built for players who need to get around tight corners or out of trouble, and it's at its best on tight corners and escape shots. If you're shopping for a dependable Shortcut 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 Shortcut is a very overstable approach disc and an excellent utility tool. It won't glide very far, and it fades hard, so you can get around a tight corner or out of a tough situation. Rated 4/1/1/4, it has positive turn and a strong fade, so it starts hooking early and lands close to where you aim.
Stability
The Shortcut 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.
