The Beginner Fairway Driver is rated 7/6/-1/1. A single point of turn with 6 glide suggests an easy, carrying fairway flight, a touch of right drift and a soft finish for a right-hand backhand; TryDiscs files it as a control driver. It is not the mold for hard headwind lines. It is the driver of the function-named trio the PDGA approved for Kestrel Outdoors on 15 March 2018. The Utah brand's shop offers several bundled sets, and its set listings pitch the fairway driver as part of a flexible-plastic three-disc pack aimed at getting new and family players onto a course quickly. No standalone listing with printed flight numbers for this mold was live in the sources traced for this page as of August 2026. TryDiscs records a Kestrel Basic run of the mold.
