The Yikun Wei is an understable distance driver built around a large S-curve. Two and a half turn against two fade at 10 speed means it stands up hard through the middle and still comes back at the end.
Five glide is what turns that shape into distance rather than just a wide arc, and 10 speed is reachable without a full-power run-up. On a hyzer it flips flat and rides a long way before the fade arrives; flat, it drifts right most of the flight. Infinite reviewer averages of 10.1 / 5 / -2.6 / 1.9 confirm the rating closely, and one customer describes it as flying further and more understable than an Innova Valkyrie — a player comparison rather than a specification. Stronger arms should expect it to turn over sooner than they want.
That puts it in the understable-distance and roller slot: a first distance driver for a developing arm, a turnover and flex-shot disc for a stronger one. A headwind is where it comes apart, since two and a half turn keeps turning and two fade is not enough to rescue it.
Yikun is a Chinese manufacturer based in Ningbo and the first Asian company to have discs PDGA approved; retailers describe its lineup as named for Chinese mythology and culture, and the PDGA registers this mold under the characters 精卫. Yikun does not publish an English meaning for the name. Approved in August 2014, the Wei is made in Tiger Line, Phoenix Line and Dragon Line — Tiger the grippy base plastic, Phoenix the durable translucent premium line, Dragon a softer and grippier premium blend.
How much the Wei 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 Wei was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
