The Lithium is a midrange rated 5/4/-2/1. Two points of turn with a single point of fade suggest an understable, workable flight, right drift at speed and only a light finish for a right-hand backhand. It is not the midrange for headwind work. Element Discs entered the midrange category with it, and the archived product page leans on feel and versatility: a shallow rim and flat flight plate, a convex rim edge the brand credited with a quick-release effect, and lines from hyzer through anhyzer to what it called sneaky roller distance, with slower arms getting an easy, straight flight. PDGA approval came on 30 June 2016, and the archived page prints the same figures carried here. TryDiscs records Hydra and Terra Firma runs of the mold, all Element rows here being marked out of production.

The Element Discs Lithium 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.
