The Bee Line is ABC Discs' very fast, understable distance driver, rated 14/5/-3/2. It suits distance curves and hyzer flips from players who can manage a broad rim and provide enough speed.

ABC's current page recommends both backhands and forehands and describes a glide-focused distance flight. The maker places it toward intermediate and advanced distance use, including calm conditions and moderate wind. That gives it a purpose distinct from a strongly overstable driver chosen mainly for wind resistance.

The PDGA approved the Bee Line on 12 September 2012 (12-36). An April 2011 ABC announcement named the Bee Line as one of its first two wide-rimmed discs.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
