Mockingbird

4.7(71)
Control Driver
The Mockingbird is an understable Lone Star Disc fairway driver rated 7/5/-2/1. Turn, good glide and a light fade suit hyzer flips, gentle turnovers and controlled shots on wooded holes, and it is easy for newer players to throw. Players who need a stable finish for wind should look elsewhere. Lone Star Disc calls it its understable fairway driver for shots that need control, and says a smooth throw flies straight, a hyzer angle holds, and more power brings a strong turn before it finishes. On Disc Golf Course Review, two players described it as flippy. The PDGA approved it as The Mockingbird (Ka Kaw) on 26 October 2020 (20-81). In 2026 Lone Star Disc included it in an all-white 250th anniversary set of what it calls its original discs, with the Penny Putter, Texas Ranger and Curl. Try Discs lists it in Alpha, Bravo, Founders, Lima and Lone Star Glow plastic as of October 2026. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Lone Star Disc Rio Grande and the Streamline Drift.

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.
