About the Meteor

Meteor: Discraft’s understable mid-range driver

The Discraft Meteor is one of the most understable midranges in the Discraft range. Three of turn against one of fade means it has almost nothing pulling it back — thrown flat it stands up, drifts right, and only leans left at the very end.

That makes it a hyzer-flip mid and a turnover disc rather than a straight one. Give it an angle and five glide carries the flip through the whole flight, which is what makes it work for long anhyzers, right-hand lines under a low ceiling, and rollers. Five speed means you don’t need much arm to see all of it; the turn shows up at almost any power.

Three of turn is three of turn. Thrown hard and flat, or into any real headwind, it flips past the line you gave it and keeps going. It isn’t a disc for holding straight or finishing left — that is what the Buzzz and Buzzz OS are for.

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