The Mongoose is Legacy's understable driver, rated 9/5/-3/1. It suits distance development, turnovers and rollers, with considerable turn and little finishing fade. A player seeking resistance to turn or a hard-ending wind shot may prefer a more overstable driver. Legacy recommends it as an easier driver to learn, while explicitly giving stronger players a turnover and roller role. The maker describes a smaller rim for easier grip and points to turning shots through woods. The same design intention can therefore serve different lines at different release speeds. The PDGA approved the Mongoose on 25 September 2013 (13-62). Choose it because the turning flight fills a shot, rather than expecting a beginner-oriented label to fit every throwing style. More hyzer or reduced power can be useful things to test if a flat release turns farther than intended.

Rim ConfigurationA PDGA score for the shape of the edge. Low is sharp, like a driver. High is rounded, like a putter.

4.655 reviews from 5 stores

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
