The Discraft Athena is a new (2022) neutral fairway driver and will be the 6th disc in Paul McBeth's signature lineup. According to McBeth, it's a similar to the Anax, but a little slower. Based what McBeth says in the release video of the Athena, it sounds like the Athena will be a neutral fairway driver. We're guessing that the numbers will be similar to an Innova Thunderbird or Teebird 3 - both of which flight types are missing from the Discraft lineup.
The Athena has also officially been announced also with a stability rating of 1.7.
Not 100% sure if they will be available on Amazon at that time, may just be Discraft's website. I'll monitor and try and put a link to the Athena product page as soon as it becomes available.
Update (12:30pm PST): Discraft's website crashed hard (predictably). Looks like they are reverting from a backup, but the Athena is still missing from the site. Stay tuned.
Update (1:00pm PST): Discraft will be moving the drop to 8pm EST on factorystore.discraft.com
Update (7:00pm PST): Looks like they're sold out.
