Pestilence

4.4(24)
Distance Driver
The Pestilence is Doomsday Discs' very understable distance driver rated 13/5/-4/1. A large turn rating and light finish fit hyzer flips, long turning drives and intentional rollers, with a wide-rim speed requirement still part of the choice. Doomsday pitches Pestilence to players who find other high-speed drivers difficult to turn and gives experienced players shaping and roller uses. A hyzer flip starts tilted and uses turn to rise toward flat; a roller intentionally drives the disc much farther onto its turning angle. The PDGA approved Pestilence on 12 December 2022 (22-226).

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.
