The Middy is an overstable Lone Star Disc midrange rated 5/5/0/3. No turn and a firm fade suit forehands, headwind shots and approaches that need to finish left for a right-hand backhand. Players who want a straight or turnover midrange should look elsewhere. Lone Star Disc, which also calls it the MD-1, says the Middy was its first PDGA-approved disc and the one that started the company. The company pitches it for wind and forehand throws, for both touch and power. On Disc Golf Course Review, one player found it holds up well in wind and fights back from an anhyzer angle. The PDGA approved it as The Dillard Midrange Md-1 (Middy) on 29 September 2020 (20-79), the same day as the Penny Putter. Lone Star Disc ran a 2023 Tour Series Middy in Founders plastic for Charlie Moore, and includes the Middy in its advanced starter sets. Try Discs lists it in Alpha, Bravo, Delta 1, Delta 2, Founders, Lima and Lone Star Glow plastic as of October 2026. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Discraft Buzzz OS and the Legacy Discs Badger.

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.
