The Infinite Discs Sphinx is an understable 9-speed control driver rated 9/6/-3/1 — a high-glide, easy-turning driver that gives newer players distance and seasoned players a turnover tool.
Three turn and one fade is a lot of movement away from the fade side. For slower arms, that turn is what makes it go: it holds up, glides a long way and doesn’t fade out early. For faster arms it becomes a specialty disc, which Infinite describes as “a valuable, understable utility disc, excelling in hyzer-flips, long anhyzer throws, and powerful rollers.” Reviewer averages from nearly 190 reviews read 9/6/-2.7/1, confirming the rating with a fraction less turn.
Infinite aims it at newcomers “seeking a crossover between a distance and control driver,” and that is where it earns its place — a first driver that reaches distance without a big arm. It’s also the slower sibling of the Aztec, which Infinite calls “a longer Sphinx” in G-Blend. On paper it sits next to the Innova Sidewinder (9/5/-3/1) with an extra point of glide. The limit is clear: it’s the wrong disc for wind or for anything that needs to finish, and a big arm will turn it into the ground on a flat release.
Infinite places it with its Egyptian molds without further explanation. A sphinx is a mythical creature with a lion’s body and a human head, best known from the Great Sphinx of Giza.
PDGA approved in March 2018. Available in I-Blend, S-Blend, C-Blend and G-Blend, plus glow, halo, swirly, dyed and metal-flake runs.
How much the Sphinx turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
Measured by the PDGA when the Sphinx was certified. Each drawing shows what the number measures.
