Felon

4.8(319)
Control Driver
The Felon is Dynamic Discs' strongly fading fairway driver rated 9/3/0.5/4. Its low glide, positive turn and substantial fade make it useful for hyzers, windy drives and placement shots with a definite ending curve. Dynamic Discs says Kansas wind influenced its development and recommends it for headwind use and low-ceiling shots that still need a strong finish. The manufacturer specifically includes forehands in its recommended uses. For a low-ceiling line, Felon's combination of limited glide and substantial finish makes it useful to choose both the flight corridor and the direction of the final curve. The PDGA approved Felon on 14 July 2014. Sockibomb Felon has a separate 2023 certification entry, so the full name matters when sorting family variants.

The Dynamic Discs Felon is one of the most-reviewed discs we track.

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.
