The Fjord is a putt and approach disc rated 4/4/0/3. Zero turn into a 3 fade suggests an overstable approach flight that holds into wind and finishes firmly left for a right-hand backhand. It is not a disc for turnover touch.

Alfa Discs calls it an overstable approach disc for precision, built for controlled approaches that finish predictably and for shrugging off headwinds, and its page prints the same figures carried here with the 21 November 2022 PDGA approval date. The certification record adds a twist of history: it lists the mold as the Fjord, renamed from Galileo, and this site still carries a separate Galileo row. The Norwegian brand sells it in its Chrome Line, the run recorded here.

TryDiscs records a Chrome Line run of the mold.

The Alfa Discs Fjord has only 3 reviews so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

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.
