What are the Discraft Fossil flight numbers and what do they mean?

3 | 1 | 0 | 3 means low speed and low glide with strong fade. Expect short, controlled flights that finish reliably, even when thrown hard.

Is the Fossil more like a Pig or a Zone?

The Fossil is closer to the “beefy approach putter” slot like a Pig. It’s slow, torque-resistant, and wants to fade. Compared to a Zone, it feels slower and more putter-like in the hand.

Is the Fossil good for forehand approaches?

Yes. The Fossil is built to handle torque and keep its line. It shines on short forehands, touch flexes, and approaches where you need a guaranteed finish.

What does the ringer-style top change about the feel?

The ringer-style top gives extra grip feedback and helps you place your thumb consistently. Many players find it improves confidence on both fan grips and power grips.

Which plastic should I choose?

Choose Prototype Putter Blend if you want the original grip and approach feel. Go Big Z for premium durability and long-term stability for heavy use.

Discraft Sled Midrange - Torque-Resistant Control

Flight Numbers

5Speed

4Glide

0Turn

2Fade

The official mold of the 2026 PDGA World Championships, the Sled is a torque-resistant midrange built for straight control and a dependable finish. It blends Buzzz OS-style confidence with the first rolled groove-top thumbtrack in the Discraft lineup - inspired by the rolling hills of Kensington's Toboggan course. The result is a clean release, locked-in grip, and midrange power you can trust: it holds its line under speed, fights off unwanted turn, then settles with a subtle, predictable fade. (Flight numbers are estimated ahead of the official release.)

Frequently Asked Questions

The Sled is rated 5 | 4 | 0 | 2 (estimated). That's midrange speed with steady glide, minimal high-speed turn, and a dependable finish - straight flights that resist torque, then fade without dumping early. Numbers may be finalized once the mold moves past its Test Flight release.

It's the first Discraft mold to feature one. The rolled groove-top gives your thumb a natural "home" on the flight plate, improving grip comfort and angle control - especially on forehands and power fan grips. The shape was inspired by the rolling hills of the Toboggan course.

It sits in the stable-to-overstable control lane like a Buzzz OS - designed for straight torque resistance first, then a clean finish. Compared to many Wasps, it can feel more modern and "locked in" on release thanks to the thumbtrack.

Yes. The thumbtrack helps with comfort and repeatable grip pressure, and the Sled's stability helps it hold angles on flicks, flat shots, and short flex approaches without flipping.

The Sled is the official mold of the 2026 PDGA World Championships, hosted at Kensington Metropark's Toboggan Disc Golf Course. Its unique rolled groove-top shape is a nod to the course's dramatic elevation and flowing fairways.
