The Arcade is a control driver rated 7/5/-1/2. A single point of turn into a 2 fade suggests a fairway flight with some give at speed and a moderate finish left for a right-hand backhand: workable rather than resistant, and not the disc to reach for in a headwind. Disc Golf Avenue calls it an easygoing fairway driver with room to shape a line, one that flips for higher-speed throws and carries S-curves on anhyzer for slower arms, and it previewed the mold as a fairway driver in its launch video. Read the rating as provisional: the brand publishes the quartet as an approximate flight and marks the numbers pending, saying they describe the intended flight and may change after further testing, wording still on its store in September 2026. The PDGA approved the mold on August 10, 2026 under certification 26-110, recording a 21.2 cm diameter, a 1.8 cm height, a 1.1 cm rim depth and a 1.7 cm rim. Disc Golf Avenue is a Michigan brand grown out of the Sci-Fly project, which its About page describes as a way to bring disc golf and the science of flight together. It released the Arcade as the First Issue Detroit Edition in Vista plastic and Fresh Coast Blue, under a Worlds Mixtape stamp whose QR code links to a playlist by the Detroit DJ MYINT, 165 to 173 grams, in a stated run of 200. TryDiscs records the mold in Vista, the brand's translucent premium blend.

DiameterHow wide the disc is, edge to edge. Almost every disc is 21 to 22 cm.
21.2 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.
1.1 cm
Rim ThicknessHow wide the rim is. Wider rims make faster discs that need a stronger throw.
1.7 cm
Rim Inside DiameterThe width of the flat middle, inside the rim. Bigger usually means a slower, easier disc.
17.8 cm
Rim Depth/Diameter RatioRim depth as a share of the disc's width. Higher means a deeper rim for its size.

Rim ConfigurationA PDGA score for the shape of the edge. Low is sharp, like a driver. High is rounded, like a putter.
32.25
BeadA small ridge under the edge of the rim, mostly on putters. It changes how the disc feels in hand.
