The RPM Huia is a stable fairway driver built for shots that need a predictable finish. Its 7-speed rim keeps it manageable next to a distance driver, while zero turn and two fade point to a flight that holds its line before finishing reliably at the end.
Five glide is more than most stable 7 speeds carry, and RPM leans on it, describing the disc as good for consistent medium to long straight shots with a gentle fade and enough glide for real distance on tunnel shots. A blunt nose keeps it controllable in wind and a slightly deeper rim improves the forehand grip. Infinite reviewer averages of 7 / 4.7 / -0.1 / 2.2 confirm the rating. Faster arms will see a long straight initial flight; lower-power players can expect the fade earlier, with the same shape at a smaller scale.
That makes the Huia useful for placement drives, wooded fairways, controlled hyzers and other shots where accuracy matters more than maximum distance. It is not a distance driver, and with zero turn there is nothing in it to shape an anhyzer with.
The name is the huia, an extinct New Zealand wattlebird — the last confirmed sighting was in 1907. It is the most striking bird in RPM’s lineup: males and females had completely different bills, the male’s short and stout for chiselling rotten wood, the female’s long and curved for probing deeper, and the bird was sacred in Māori culture, its skin and tail feathers reserved for people of high status. RPM names its lineup for New Zealand native wildlife throughout. PDGA approved in January 2019 and made in Strata, Cosmic, Atomic and Glow.
How much the Huia 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 Huia was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
