Collection: Midrange Discs
Midranges provide fair speed/distance and more control, creating a straighter, more stable flight path. In fact, even well experienced disc golfers return to them for more narrow passages and aiming straight toward the basket.
Midrange disc golf discs typically have speed ratings of 4 to 6. They are wider than putters and drivers, but with a short rim (as seen from the underside). This means they glide further than a putter. A great disc type for beginners as the shape is ideal for getting a firm grip and practicing shots. You will have more consistency than a fairway or distance driver.
Depending how you throw a midrange, it can share similar flight patterns to drivers. Specifically, the understable (side to side pattern) of flight or more to the left pattern or more to the right pattern that can occur on certain throws and/or with certain discs. In other words, not as straight as a putter.
A midrange disc will travel an average of 300 feet, although more skilled players may be able to throw up to 450 feet.
They offer all the characteristics needed for hyzers, anhyzers, and extra fades. You can even forehand some midranges.
Being so versatile, midranges are handy for the following situations:
- Providing a fair balance of distance and control for new players.
- Providing a comfortable rim shape for kids learning grip and technique.
- When advanced players need to throw a long distance but straighter than a driver.
- For any player needing to practice and learn control for a particular style of throw.
- When you need to throw over 150 feet and a putter will not do it for you.
