The Yikun Hu is an understable driver with a balanced S-curve — two turn against two fade at 9 speed, standing up through the middle and coming back the same amount at the end. Note that Yikun classes it a distance driver and Infinite files it under control drivers, so expect it to sit on the boundary rather than squarely in the fairway category.
Nine speed means you do not need distance-driver power to see the whole flight, and five glide holds it up long enough for the shape to finish. Yikun’s own description has the fade helping the disc hold its right-turning line for a long time before it returns. Infinite reviewer averages of 9 / 4.9 / -2.4 / 1.7 read it as noticeably more understable and less fading than rated, so a strong arm should treat it as closer to a -2.5 disc than a -2 one.
That puts it in the hyzer-flip and long-turnover slot, and it works as a controlled anhyzer disc in the woods. Thrown flat by a powerful player it will turn past where it was aimed, and there is not much fade to bring it home.
The Hu is the best-documented name in Yikun’s lineup: the manufacturer titles the mold 九尾狐, the nine-tailed fox of Chinese mythology, and retailers carry the same gloss. Yikun is a Chinese manufacturer based in Ningbo, the first Asian company to have discs PDGA approved, and its lineup is named for Chinese mythology and culture throughout. Approved in May 2014, the Hu is made in Tiger Line, Phoenix Line, Phoenix Star and Dragon Line, and it is one of the three molds in Yikun’s PDGA-approved starter set.
How much the Hu 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 Hu was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
