Tame the storm: our high-distance discs (speed 11+) selected for your arm

Let's be honest for two minutes. We have all already bought a brand new Destroyer thinking of adding 50 feet to our drive, only to see it nosedive to the left after only 150 feet of flight. Throwing a disc at speed 11, 12 or 13 requires momentum, good rotation and above all, the right choice of plastic depending on the weather here. That you are looking for a driver sub-stable to maximize your glide with a tailwind at Île Charron or a monster of stability to cut through the gusts of Estrie, we tested what is on our shelves. Don't let your ego choose your disk speed: find the one that will work with your throwing angle.

Choosing your distance driver: a matter of technique, not just brute force

Finding the perfect line in a corridor of trees in Quebec is an art. To avoid transforming your first drive When researching specs in ferns, keep these elements in mind:

• Weight changes everything: A 175 gram disc will hold up to the wind like a champ, but if you lack arm speed, try a model around 168-172 grams to gain in pinball.

• Life after the snap: Premium plastics (like Innova's Star or Discraft's ESP) retain their flying characteristics for years, even after kissing a tree head-on.

• Building a smart bag: A good player never goes on the mound with just one driver. Pair your high distance disc with a fairway driver more controllable (speed 7 or 9) for more technical holes, and you will see your scores drop quickly. You will also save on delivery costs by completing your equipment now.

• Your disc golf gear, stored in Boucherville and tested on the ground

  We are not an impersonal multinational that ships boxes without knowing what's inside. Our warehouse is based in Boucherville, the stock you see online is the real live stock. We know what it takes to perform on Quebec courses, from the first spring hole in the mud to the last colorful rounds of fall.

  💡 Coach's advice: Stop accidentally flipping your discs by straining like crazy. If your high distance disc immediately spins in rollerblading to the right (for a right-handed person backhand), it's not because you have too much strength, it's often that you create off-axis torque (you pull on the disk instead of rotating it). To test your real arm, throw your speed 11 on a high hyzer line. If he refuses to stand up flat (flat) before going down, go down one gear and take speed 9. Your scorecard will thank me.
