The Tiyanak is a Divergent Discs driver rated 8/5/-5/1, which Divergent calls extremely understable. Stronger throwers may find it useful for specialist turnovers instead of everyday flat drives. Divergent explicitly recommends it for players whose distance is around 200 feet or less. That is the brand's intended audience, with the turning flight providing an alternative to discs that fade too early. A powerful flat release can move far toward the turning side, so a deliberate hyzer start can be useful for controlling the route. The PDGA approved the Tiyanak on 10 January 2022. Its pronounced turn makes it less natural for headwinds or a landing that needs a heavy fading return.

Reviews

7 reviews from 2 stores

The Divergent Discs Tiyanak has only 7 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.
