About the MD5

MD5: Discmania’s overstable mid-range driver

The Discmania MD5 is a reliable and overstable midrange disc, delivering the stable fade that players seek. It excels in powerful hyzer lines, dependable flick shots, and offers optimal flight performance. With its beaded, low profile shape, the MD5 feels comfortable in the hand and ensures smooth releases. Surprisingly, despite its overstable nature, the MD5 offers a notable amount of glide, allowing it to fade further than other midranges in its class. Whether it’s hyzer lines, windy conditions, or utility shots, the MD5 is a solid choice for any player.
