About the Desperado

Desperado: Lone Star Disc’s understable fairway driver

The Lone Star Discs Desperado is an understable fairway driver designed for effortless control and smooth flights. With flight numbers 9 / 5 / -2 / 1, this player-friendly disc combines high glide and a gentle turn, making it ideal for long, buttery turnovers and controlled distance shots. Its slightly faster speed for a fairway driver makes it a versatile choice for players of all skill levels.

The Desperado provides a comfortable grip for consistent release. For slower arm speeds, it flies neutrally with reliable fade, while experienced players will appreciate its ability to execute precise turnovers and hyzer-flips. Whether you’re carving lines through wooded fairways or seeking a reliable driver for long, controlled throws, the Desperado fits seamlessly into any bag.

Approved by the PDGA on August 26, 2024, the Desperado is crafted to professional standards with a rim depth of 1.2cm and rim thickness of 1.9cm. Its design offers dependable performance and glide, making it a go-to choice for players looking to add control and versatility to their fairway game.
