The Basilisk is Divergent Discs' turning distance driver, rated 13/6/-5/2. Divergent says it is designed to give lower-arm-speed players a full S-curve, turning before it fades back. Stronger throwers may find a flat release turns too far and need more hyzer to control the line. Divergent describes a wide rim and positions the Basilisk as a first distance-driver option. The speed still matters: a golfer who cannot bring a fast driver up to pace may get easier carry from a slower disc. The PDGA approved the Basilisk on 9 November 2021. Its primary role remains turning distance rather than a wind-oriented drive with a strong finish.

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.
