The Hawk is a discontinued early-90s midrange rated 4/3/-2/2: slow, understable, and modest in glide, a mold from the era before midranges settled into their modern shapes. Certified in September 1993 as "The Hawk" (PDGA cert 93-09), it predates the entire modern mid row. By modern standards it flies like a gentle touch mid: easy turn at ordinary power, soft finish, and no appetite for wind. It left the standard lineup long ago, returning occasionally in special runs, which is why Big Z and Tour Series Z stamps exist alongside the vintage Pro-D and later ESP copies.

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.
