Discraft Hornet

Discraft Hornet

The Discraft Hornet is an overstable midrange built for control, wind, and dependable finish. It pushes farther than many beefy mids, then fades hard enough to trust on demanding lines.

Flight: 5 | 5 | 0 | 4. The 1.3 cm rim keeps the Hornet comfortable for both backhand and touch forehand releases.

Why throw the Hornet?

• Trust a wind-fighting midrange with real glide.
• Throw flat and get a strong, predictable finish.
• Shape controlled hyzers without jumping to a utility brick.
• Use it for touch forehands and torque-resistant approaches.
• Bridge the gap between a Wasp-style mid and a Drone-style hook.

FAQs

How does the Hornet compare to the Dynamic Discs Justice?

The Justice is usually more overstable and more utility-focused. It dumps harder and earlier. The Hornet carries farther before fading, which makes it easier to use as an all-around overstable mid.

What’s the difference between the Hornet and the MVP Deflector?

The Deflector is typically the beefier option with less glide and a stronger finish. The Hornet offers more forward push and a little more range. Choose the Deflector for extreme wind and sharper fades.

Should I pick the Hornet or the Latitude 64 Anchor?

The Anchor is often a touch straighter and easier to range for standard mid shots. The Hornet usually has more bite at the end. Pick the Hornet when you want stronger fade and more wind resistance.

How does the Hornet compare to the Discmania MD5?

The MD5 is a trusted overstable approach and midrange option with a dependable fade. The Hornet generally gives you more glide and longer carry. The MD5 is great when you want a lower-glide, point-and-finish flight.

What’s the difference between the Hornet and the Axiom Pyro?

The Pyro often flies straighter at first with a forward-pushing fade. The Hornet tends to finish harder and handle more wind. Pick the Pyro for controlled push-fade lines and the Hornet for stronger bite.
