DGA Disc Golf First Flight LE Swirl Hurricane X Distance Driver
by
DGA
SKU: DG-DGA-FFLES-HURRX (REF2788-2)
Description
The DGA LE Swirl Hurricane X distance driver is DGA's new torque-resistant power driver, molded in LE Swirl plastic. It's built for bigger arms and demanding lines, and it's at its best on powerful, wind-resistant drives. This listing is the First Flight release of the Hurricane X.
LE Swirl Plastic
The First Flight Hurricane X is crafted in an LE Swirl blend that's similar to Discraft's popular ESP Swirl, a well-loved and proven plastic.
The Mold
Developed with Team DGA's Sullivan Tipton and Cole Redalen, the Hurricane X fits between the Hurricane and Hypercane. Redalen describes it as more stable than a Hurricane but with more push than a Hypercane, torque resistant and wind resistant while still delivering exceptional distance. Tipton notes that it stays stable at the end, handles torque well, and keeps pushing forward while fading. It's still very usable for all arm speeds and throwing styles.
Stability
The Hurricane X 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 | 13 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
