Woodpecker

SMALL BRAND
Putt & Approach
The Woodpecker is a putt and approach disc rated 4/2.5/0/3.5. Low glide, zero turn and a 3.5 fade suggest a short, strongly overstable flight that finishes hard left for a right-hand backhand. Its ratings suggest it is less suited to players seeking floating approaches or turnover lines. Disctroyer, from Tallinn, Estonia, sells it in Estonian as the Rähn, and reports that its Estonian team considers its flight to fill the gap between the brand's Sparrow and Skylark. The rating listed here matches Disctroyer's English product listing, while the stamp on its production discs prints a glide of 2. The PDGA approved it on 17 April 2023 (23-117) as the Woodpecker (Rähn). Disctroyer names its molds after birds and says its discs are made in Estonia. TryDiscs lists it in A-Medium.

The Disctroyer Woodpecker has only 2 reviews so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

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.
