About the Pulse

Pulse: Discraft’s overstable distance driver

The Discraft Pulse is an overstable distance driver built to finish hard. Zero turn with four of fade means it will not flip and it is always coming back — no straight section, no drift.

That makes it a utility driver: headwind drives, forced hyzers, forehands that need to hold their angle, and long skip shots. Eleven speed with only four glide is a low, hard flight rather than a floating one, so it stays under the wind instead of riding it.

Distance is not what it is for. Four of fade and four of glide take it out of the air early, and thrown by an arm that cannot get it to 11 it becomes a very short flight that ends a long way left.

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

Diameter21.2cmOutside edge to outside edge. The PDGA allows 21 to 30 cm; nearly every golf disc sits just over 21.
Section drawing of a disc golf disc with the height dimensioned
Height1.7cmFrom the bottom of the rim to the top of the dome, standing flat.
Section drawing of a disc golf disc with the rim depth dimensioned
Rim depth1.3cmFrom the bottom of the rim up to where the inner rim meets the flight plate — the pocket your fingers curl into. At least 1.1 cm.
Section drawing of a disc golf disc with the rim width dimensioned
Rim width2.1cmOuter edge to inner edge of the rim (the PDGA calls it rim thickness). Wider rims generally mean faster discs. Capped at 2.6 cm.
