The Fly is a midrange rated 5/5/0/0. Zero turn and no fade suggest a very straight flight that holds its line to the finish for a right-hand backhand. Its ratings suggest it is less suited to players seeking a finishing fade. Fourth Circle Discs, of south-east Queensland, calls the Fly a neutral midrange that is friendly for beginners and flips up from hyzer to flat or flat to turnover for stronger players. The rating listed here matches the one its Kickstarter gave for advanced players, while its store listing and the Kickstarter's beginner rating give a fade of 1. The PDGA approved it on 17 January 2022 (22-7). TryDiscs lists it in Ekka.
