The Squall is DGA's faster-paced midrange, rated 6/4/-1/1. It suits longer approach lines that use a little turn and finish gently, with less lateral movement than a strongly fading disc. It can be useful when a conventional putter feels too slow but a driver would add unnecessary speed. DGA compares the Squall's pace to fairway-driver territory and promotes it for broad line shaping. The manufacturer describes a small turn when powered and a reliable finish, so its role is built around controlled travel rather than a hard utility fade. A player can use release angle to choose a straight or curving route. The PDGA approved the Squall on 10 July 2003 with Discraft named in the record. It is sold in DGA's lineup.

GlideHow long the disc stays in the air. More glide means more distance from the same throw.

Dimensions

DiameterHow wide the disc is, edge to edge. Almost every disc is 21 to 22 cm.
21.5 cm
HeightHow tall the disc is lying flat. Putters are usually the tallest.
1.8 cm
Rim DepthHow deep the rim is underneath, where your fingers grip. Putters have the deepest rims.
1.3 cm
Rim ThicknessHow wide the rim is. Wider rims make faster discs that need a stronger throw.
1.3 cm
Rim Inside DiameterThe width of the flat middle, inside the rim. Bigger usually means a slower, easier disc.
18.6 cm
Rim Depth/Diameter RatioRim depth as a share of the disc's width. Higher means a deeper rim for its size.
6%
Rim ConfigurationA PDGA score for the shape of the edge. Low is sharp, like a driver. High is rounded, like a putter.
34.5
BeadA small ridge under the edge of the rim, mostly on putters. It changes how the disc feels in hand.
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.
