The MD1 is Discmania's neutral, glide-focused midrange, rated 5/6/0/0. It suits players who want a disc to follow a selected release line with very little finishing fade. That is useful for straight gaps and gentle shaping, but less suited to approaches that need a substantial hook at the end. Discmania says the current MD1 was reinvented in late 2021 for the brand's fifteenth anniversary. The MD1 name traces back to Discmania's first mold in 2006, so an early MD1 and the modern straight-flying version should not be treated as interchangeable solely because their names match. The current collection describes a beadless design and recommends hyzer, anhyzer and straight lines. The PDGA approved the reinvented MD1, listed as New MD1, on 6 December 2021 (21-134).

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.
