I have tried Flicks and find them a tad too stable, except a 150g one I have that is not quite stable enough at long distance. My form isn't perfect, and the later is more reliable for me.īut my favorite disc to Flick with is the MVP Volt. In my inexperienced opinion, it comes down to wether you want to throw it flatish and let an understable disc turn over and come back, or throw with some anny and let an overstable disc fight back. I prefer a more Stable disc to flick with. Nothing puts the mind at ease like knowing the disc with fade hard no matter what. Personally I could never throw that disc that far either FH or BH but it has a place in my bag due to it's utility and also dependability. I have also seen another guy I play with from time to time throw it flat and had it go completely straight for 530' and fade gently. I have a buddy who throws it FH a on little bit of a hyzer only to watch it flip up and turnover slightly before consistently fading back.he also happens to throw his about 500' regularly. Due to my terrible FH form my drone just flies completely straight. I use it FH for about <250' hyzers and shorter with just a little flick action. My main use is for BH in a strong headwind or as a hyzer spike. I rarely throw it tomahawk anymore except for rescue shots. As my BH and FH games developed I started experimenting with it and now throw a 172g. I bought my first one at 155g for tomahawks and was able to get about 350' out of it. The Wolf certainly isn't flat, though (because of the thumbtrac), so I'm not really sure what you mean.īeen reading reviews and the common theme is its for forehand throwers. As a result, a lot of people would rather just throw something fast and stable in order to mask form flaws and maximise raw distance at the expense of control.įor many people, an ugly, wobbly forehand with an overstable disc is more reliable than a backhand shot, and that's why they throw it.Īlso, most flicks are flat, but I have seen some concave ones as well (mostly lighter ones). All these factors add up to a shot that's much more difficult to control. Because of the lack of spin, the disc doesn't have as much angular momentum and is much more susceptable to form flaws.Īlso, it is much harder to throw a smooth sidearm than a smooth backhand. Sidearm typically has a little less spin and a little more speed. I've never seen a Flick, is it flat like a Wolf? I know I dislike discs with a wide rim for FH It can be purchased from Infinite discs for as low as $13.But the dynamics of any disk is the same BH and FH right? It seems obvious but am I missing something? The Discraft Flick is completely flat and perfect for throwers that don’t like the inconsistency that comes from domey discs.īuy the Flick: It is currently available in Elite Z and Titanium plastics. This disc then is good for a throw that you’ll need to fade right and make sure it won’t turn over (with a right hand forehand flick shot). To this point we do not have complete data to publish any accuracy results for the Discraft Flick. If it was an Innova disc it feels as though it should have a fade rating of 6. This Flick has more fade than any other disc tested to date. If you are playing a hole where you want to ensure you won’t turn to the left (with a forearm throw), the Flick will all but guarantee that doesn’t happen. The fade which occurs on this disc is so strong that having a consistently distant throw will be difficult. It has huge potential, but requires just the right amount of anhyzer (counter fade) in your throw. In the end, the Flick simply is not a far flying disc for an average player. If you do you’ll have a lot of fun and get some serious distance by throwing the Discraft Flick. If you don’t have a strong forehand throw with a power “flick,” this is probably not a good disc for you. For Kirk who has less focus on the snap and more on straight flying speed, the results were far less favorable. From our initial round of distance tests the Flick ranked second for me, trailed only by its brother the Discraft Flash. When I throw it with a slight anhyzer angle with a nice snap this disc flys straight and fast. This frisbee is fun to throw because I can chuck it as hard as I can at high anhyzer angle, and no matter what it will stabilize and then fade to the right (with my right hand forearm throw). The Flick has a super thick rim, and is one of the flattest golf discs I’ve seen. Fortunately for me, my most powerful throw is a forearm throw where the bulk of the power comes from the wrist snap.
DISCRAFT FLICK DRIVER
The Discraft Flick is a very fast over stable (2.5 on Discrafts Stability rating) distance driver that is designed for forehand/sidearm throwers. If you don’t get a super power wrist snap when you throw the Discraft Flick, it’s not going to get much distance and will quickly fade hard into the ground. When they call this disc the Flick, they mean it.
