Sleipner

Distance Driver
The Sleipner is a distance driver rated 10/4/-1/2. A single point of turn into a 2 fade suggests a controllable power flight, a small drift at speed and a dependable left finish for a right-hand backhand. It is not the driver for hard turnover lines. Guru Disc Golf names it for Odin's eight-legged horse, which runs on water, land and air alike, and the Norwegian brand's shop page pitches the disc as similarly versatile: equally happy on straight throws, hyzers and anhyzers, aimed at players of every skill level. The PDGA approved it on 15 March 2017, the certification that followed the brand's founding Norse trio of 2016. TryDiscs records D-Plastic and S-Plastic runs of the mold.
