The Lariat is a straight-flying Lone Star Disc fairway driver rated 9/5/-1/1. A little turn and a light fade suit long, straight drives on tight lines, and its shallow rim makes it approachable for newer players. Players who need a firm fade for wind should look elsewhere. Lone Star Disc describes a fairway driver that flies straight enough to be thrown on a rope, and says its shallow rim makes it approachable for less experienced players. It places its Wrangler between the Lariat and the Mad Cat. On Disc Golf Course Review, one player found the official numbers accurate for a glow Lariat. The PDGA approved the Lariat on 25 April 2022 (22-68). Try Discs lists it in Alpha, Bravo, Lima and Lone Star Glow plastic as of October 2026. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Dynamic Discs Contender and the Element Discs Chromium.

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.
