The Riptide is a distance driver rated 9/4/0/3. Zero turn into a 3 fade suggests an overstable power flight that holds its line early and finishes with a strong left move for a right-hand backhand. It is not a disc for turnover shots. It sits in the water-and-weather register DGA favors for its molds, and it is marked out of production here. No DGA certification under the Riptide name appears in the PDGA export traced for this page as of August 2026; the export's one Riptide row belongs to a different maker entirely. No listing for it was live on DGA's store in the sources traced for this page as of August 2026. TryDiscs lists it in ProLine.
