The Oxygen is rated 9/6/-3/1. Three points of turn with 6 glide suggest a deeply understable, high-carry driver: flat throws move right early for a right-hand backhand, and slower arms get long, straight flights from it. TryDiscs files it as a control driver. It is not the disc for headwind drives. Essential Discs calls it the brand's first driver, an understable fairway driver in its listing's words, easy to throw, happy as a roller or hyzer-flip disc, and beginner-friendly, with its listing printing the same figures carried here. The labels do not fully agree: the brand's catalogue files the Oxygen under fairway drivers yet describes it as an understable distance driver, against the control driver filing here. Certified in the February 2023 batch, its listing gives an official release date of 13 March 2024. TryDiscs records a Quartz (Essential) run of the mold.
