The Maximus is a control driver rated 7/6/-2/1. A turn rating of -2 with a fade rating of 1 suggests a gliding, understable flight that drifts right at speed for a right-hand backhand and finishes softly. Its ratings suggest it is less suited to players prioritizing resistance to high-speed turnover. Hero Disc USA, a flying disc company that also makes discs for canine play and competition, sells it in its three-disc golf starter set, which it aims at beginners. Hero calls the Maximus the driver of that set, pairing speed and accuracy, and its stamp prints the same rating. The PDGA approved it as the Hero Maximus Distance Driver on 14 December 2020 (20-97). TryDiscs does not yet record a plastic row for it as of September 2026.
