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).

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.
