The Nimitz is a stable Lone Star Disc distance driver rated 11/5/-1/3. A little turn and a firm fade give it a predictable flight that drifts slightly and then finishes left for a right-hand backhand, which suits controlled distance drives. Players looking for a turnover or roller driver should look elsewhere. Lone Star Disc describes a stable flight and pitches it to players of different arm speeds. The company named it after Chester Nimitz, who was born in Fredericksburg, Texas, and its artist stamp shows an aircraft carrier. The PDGA approved the Nimitz on 28 November 2022 (22-215). 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 Meridian Discs Chasm and the Axiom Defy.

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.
