Phenom

4.6(46)
Control Driver
The Phenom is Legacy's driver rated 8/5/-1/2, offering a little turn, useful glide and a moderate finish. It suits shaped control drives without the strong turning tendency of a roller-focused disc. A player seeking a heavy headwind fade or a sustained turnover may prefer a more specialized role. Legacy emphasizes accuracy and says the Phenom can also be used at lower arm speeds. Legacy describes modest movement early in flight followed by somewhat more fade, which is consistent with a balanced control purpose rather than an extreme utility design. The PDGA approved the Phenom on 28 May 2015 (15-53). The practical benefit is a driver line that does not require choosing between large turn and heavy fade.

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.
