The Silicon is Løft Discs' overstable midrange, rated 5/4/0/3. It fits approaches and short tees with a mostly straight beginning and a strong finish, including hyzer lines around obstacles. Players who want a long gentle turnover may prefer a less stable mid. Løft describes a low profile and smoothly curved rim, and recommends the Silicon for forehands, backhands and headwind approaches. The brand also identifies a flight plate that becomes thicker toward the edge, attributing some line-holding behavior to that mass distribution. The PDGA approved the Silicon on 16 May 2022.

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.
