About the Origin

Origin: Discmania’s understable mid-range driver

The Discmania Origin is a neutral midrange with a point of turn and effectively no finish. It goes where it is aimed and stays there, which is the whole point of the mould.

That makes it a straight-line mid for tunnel shots and flat approaches. Five speed and five glide mean the flight is available to any arm, and the turn is small enough to shape a gentle right-hand line without committing to one. It sits in the same slot as the MD3 and the Buzzz, and it is a 2020 mould rather than a legacy one.

Without meaningful fade there is nothing to bring it home. In a headwind it turns and keeps turning, and there is no hyzer finish to lean on.

Flies like…

How much the Origin turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
