The Sail is DGA's strongly understable distance driver, rated 11/5/-5/1. It is intended for easy turn and sustained carry rather than a firm corrective finish. A lower-power player may use that turn to extend a drive, while a powerful thrower may need a pronounced hyzer start or choose it for a turnover or roller. DGA specifically recommends the Sail for slower arms and for more demanding turning shots at higher power. Its small fade leaves little margin for bringing an over-turned throw back, so release angle is part of the fit. A headwind-oriented driving slot asks for a different flight than the Sail is designed to provide. The PDGA approved it on 25 February 2016. DGA identifies the Sail as the seventh release in its revived Midnight Flyer glow series.

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.
