The Discmania PDx is an overstable 11-speed distance driver rated 11/4/0/3. Discmania built it as the midpoint between two discs it already made: the PD (10/4/0/3) and the PD2 (12/4/0/4). It takes the PD’s controllable profile and adds a point of speed, without the PD2’s extra fade. Zero turn and a 3 fade mean it holds a line into wind and finishes left every time, backhand or forehand.
It started life in late 2015 as a fundraiser mould, went into stock production in 2018, and Discmania has since discontinued it — the PD and PD3 are the current options, and the PD3 (11/3/0/5) is the beefier of the two. Existing PDx runs still turn up on the secondary market. Glide of 4 keeps it from floating, so it is not a distance disc for slower arms; it needs power to reach its number and rewards a clean release rather than a hard one.
How much the PDx turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
Measured by the PDGA when the PDx was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
