The Hades is an understable distance driver rated 12/6/-3/2, a fast, high-glide mold that turns willingly to the right (for a right-handed backhand) and carries that turn for big distance before a gentle fade. Part of Paul McBeth's signature line, it is built for long, shot-shaping flights and reachable distance for a range of arm speeds. That combination of speed, glide and natural turn makes it one of Discraft's farther-flying drivers in a powerful player's hand, and an easy distance aid for moderate arms. It rewards a smooth, flat release; into a headwind or with too much power it will flip and roll. It is a shallow, beadless speed-12 rim, and it favors control over muscle. Approved in 2020, the Hades is the understable distance driver in Paul McBeth's Discraft signature lineup. ESP and Z runs hold the flight; a beat-in Hades turns even more for turnover and roller shots.

The Discraft Hades is one of the most-reviewed discs we track.

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.
