The Iridium is a putt and approach disc rated 2/3/0/2. Zero turn into a 2 fade suggests a stable putter flight with a dependable left finish for a right-hand backhand. It is not the putter for turnover lines. It was the first release from Element Discs, a Long Island, New York brand that billed itself as craft disc golf creators: PDGA approval came on 9 December 2015, opening the brand's certification record. The archived product page calls it a beadless putt and approach disc with one of the thinnest flight plates out there, in the words of its 2016 page, carrying a subtle thumb track for consistent grip, happy driving off the tee, and pitched as a spike-hyzer disc that stops dead where it lands. The beadless call matches the bead field on this page, and the archived page prints the same figures carried here. TryDiscs records Element Swirly and Terra runs of the mold, all Element rows here being marked out of production.

The Element Discs Iridium has only 8 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.
