The Impact is a glide-heavy understable midrange rated 6/6/-3/1: it floats, turns willingly, and finishes soft. The glide 6 carries it farther than its speed suggests, which suits smooth, slower arms chasing easy distance and anhyzer holds; power throwers will flip it. The combination is unusual among Discraft mids: no other understable mid in the lineup carries the Impact's glide 6, so hyzer-flips sail and turnovers stay in the air longer than expected. The mold began as the prototype for Discraft's 2007 Ace Race (PDGA cert 07-46, approved that October), the annual event thrown with an unreleased disc, and it kept a lineup spot afterward. The Impact has run in ESP, with ESP Swirl, Tour Series ESP, and Tour Series Z on the collector shelf.

Dimensions

DiameterHow wide the disc is, edge to edge. Almost every disc is 21 to 22 cm.
21.6 cm
HeightHow tall the disc is lying flat. Putters are usually the tallest.
2 cm
Rim DepthHow deep the rim is underneath, where your fingers grip. Putters have the deepest rims.
1.3 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%
Rim ConfigurationA PDGA score for the shape of the edge. Low is sharp, like a driver. High is rounded, like a putter.
33.75
BeadA small ridge under the edge of the rim, mostly on putters. It changes how the disc feels in hand.

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.
