by
Discmania
SKU: DG-DM-NEO-STRMBKR (REF2665-10)
Description
The Discmania Neo Function fairway driver is the most understable disc Discmania has ever produced, molded in Neo plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on quick, easy turning shots. This listing is the Gannon Buhr Storm Breaker Fundraiser release of the Function. This fundraiser edition carries a triple-foil Storm Breaker stamp, a nod to the iconic Cloud Breaker stamp Gannon Buhr has thrown for the last few years. Gannon Buhr is the reigning World Champion and Team Discmania's most dominant player on tour.
Neo Plastic
Neo is a semi-translucent premium plastic and the most durable and rigid of Discmania's Evolution line plastics. It still has some flex, and its special finish gives it an awesome grip.
The Mold
The Function is an easy-to-throw fairway driver with the most understable flight of any Discmania disc to date. It's engineered for lower arm speeds, beginners, and anyone who loves an understable fairway driver that executes turning shots quickly and easily. Fans of the Essence who want something a little flippier will love it.
Stability
The Function 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 | 8 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 6 | Huge glide that floats a long way with little effort. |
| Turn | -4 | Lots of turn to the right (RHBH), built for rollers and big turnovers. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
