NSH8 Defiant

The NSH8 Defiant is a 3D-printed control-driver-class mold from Newb SimHouse Custom Discs, a small United States maker that bills itself as the first 3D-printed disc golf disc manufacturer. The name points to the USS Defiant from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

The PDGA approved it on May 16, 2022 under certification 22-82, recording a 21.1 cm diameter, 1.6 cm rim, 1.5 cm height, and 1.2 cm rim depth. That gives it a 1.6 cm rim that straddles the midrange and fairway-driver boundary, though the dimensions identify the class only and cannot establish speed, glide, turn, fade, or stability.

NSH calls it an understable putter with plenty of glide. Newb SimHouse publishes no numeric flight ratings for its molds, so none are listed here. Because each disc is printed rather than injection-molded, run-to-run feel depends on the print itself rather than on a named plastic family, and no material line is listed.
