The Method is Discmania's overstable midrange, rated 5/5/0/3. It suits powered backhands and forehands that need substantial fade while retaining useful carry. Players looking for a midrange that drifts through a turnover or finishes almost straight may find this too much disc for that role. Discmania describes a pronounced bead and positions the Method as the first midrange in its Evolution line. The maker's design brief combines torque resistance with more glide than a low-carry utility mid. That makes it a placement tool for longer fading midrange shots, rather than a substitute for controlling release angle. There is now a naming change to know when replacing one. Discmania says the Method mold is moving into its Originals line, where new releases carry the name MD3x. The PDGA approved the Method on 1 May 2019 (19-39).

DiameterHow wide the disc is, edge to edge. Almost every disc is 21 to 22 cm.
21.7 cm
HeightHow tall the disc is lying flat. Putters are usually the tallest.
1.9 cm
Rim DepthHow deep the rim is underneath, where your fingers grip. Putters have the deepest rims.
1.4 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.
19 cm
Rim Depth/Diameter RatioRim depth as a share of the disc's width. Higher means a deeper rim for its size.
6.5%
Rim ConfigurationA PDGA score for the shape of the edge. Low is sharp, like a driver. High is rounded, like a putter.
44

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.
