The Despair is Doomsday Discs' neutral-leaning midrange rated 5/4/-1/1. A small amount of turn and light fade suit controlled approaches and straight midrange drives where a substantial ending hook would be unwelcome. Doomsday emphasizes short-range accuracy and shot shaping in its description. That gives Despair a placement role, with the release angle doing much of the work instead of a strong fading recovery. A player who needs an early hard curve around trouble is looking for a different flight profile. The PDGA approved Despair on 16 May 2022 (22-86).

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.
