The Shade is a driver from Disc Golf Dyers Guild, which sells disc-dyeing kits, dyes, stencils and supplies, runs dyeing tutorials and masterclasses, and offers dyeable discs. The underside stamp in Dyers Guild's PDGA approval photos rates the Shade 7/6/-2/2. On those numbers it turns before a moderate fade; its ratings suggest it is less suited to players seeking strong turnover resistance. In those photos the sample is white, with the Dyers Guild logo, the disc name, its rating and "PDGA Approved" stamped on the underside and nothing printed on the top. The logo carries the line "Estd 2022". As of November 2, 2026, Dyers Guild's shop does not list the Shade; most of the discs it sells are listed as blank or bottom-stamped. The PDGA approved the Shade on November 2, 2026 (certification 26-142, 176.0 g maximum weight), together with Dyers Guild's Tint and Tone. It measures 21.2 cm across and 2.1 cm tall, with a 1.2 cm rim depth and a 1.8 cm rim width, against the Tone's 1.3 cm and the Tint's 1.0 cm. ChainLink Disc Golf's Driver 96-31, approved the same day, shares its diameter, rim depth and maximum weight but is 1.7 cm tall with a 2.0 cm rim.
