The Pelican is a slower AquaFlight driver with useful turn and a mild finish, rated 6/5/-3/1. It suits gentle fairway curves and lower-power carry, while stronger throws may need a hyzer start to keep the line under control. AquaFlight's 2016 launch notes recommend it for straighter fairway shots when fresh and describe increasing turnover use with wear. The brand also identifies the original 130 to 140 gram versions as floating discs. The PDGA approved the Pelican on 7 January 2016. Its modest speed gives it a placement role without the pace demand of a fast distance rim.

The AquaFlight Discs Pelican 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.
