About DGA Drivers

We offer a range of fairway and distance drivers designed for various skill levels of play and for all the different terrain and wind conditions you will encounter on the course. Our discs are custom DGA designs made exclusively by Discraft, ensuring quality and consistency. You can trust that our discs will deliver the flight you expect, regardless of your skill or style of play.

Our drivers provide maximum distance off the tee and finesse on the fairways, enhancing your confidence with their reliable and precise performance. No matter your skill level our lineup includes economical easy-to-control 150-class fairway discs, suitable for players with slower arm speeds or novices, and the highest quality high-performance advanced distance drivers for avid and professional players.

In disc golf, fairway drivers and distance drivers are designed for different purposes. Fairway drivers are intended for controlled, accurate throws at medium distances, with lower speed ratings (usually 6 to 9) that make them easier to control. They are often used for tee shots on shorter holes and for approaches to the basket when more control and accuracy are needed. Fairway drivers have a moderate amount of glide, allowing them to maintain a straight flight path before generally fading at the end.

Distance drivers, on the other hand, are designed for maximum distance, typically used for long-distance tee shots. These discs have higher speed ratings (usually 10 or higher) and are optimized for power and distance rather than control which can frustrate newer players with lower arm speed and less control. These drivers can achieve amazing flight distances but require a higher skill level to control effectively. Distance drivers often have a pronounced "S-curve" flight path, combining high speed, turn, and fade characteristics for longer throws.

Drivers differ from putters and mid-range discs in design, purpose, and flight characteristics. They have a thinner profile and a sharper edge, reducing air resistance and allowing for higher speeds. The primary purpose of drivers is to maximize distance, making them the go-to discs for long-distance throws. They have the highest speed ratings among disc golf discs and require a faster arm speed to achieve their intended flight patterns. Drivers exhibit a combination of turn (rightward movement for right-handed backhand throws) and fade (leftward movement as the disc slows down) used strategically by players to shape their shots.

While primarily used for distance shots, drivers can also be used for long approach shots or navigating obstacles with a long throw. In contrast, putters and mid-range discs are designed for short-distance accuracy and a balance of control and distance, respectively. These differences make drivers distinct tools in a disc golfer’s arsenal, suited for specific situations and course layouts.
