Paladin OS

SMALL BRAND
Control Driver
The Paladin OS is rated 8/4/0/3, the overstable run of Northstar's Paladin. Zero turn, low glide and a 3 fade at speed 8 suggest a short, dependable flight that ends left for a right-hand backhand, the kind of profile reached for on windy holes and forced-hyzer lines. Northstar, a small Danish brand, made each driver mold in understable, neutral and overstable runs of the same disc per its Danish distributor's archived listings, which file this run as a fairway driver where TryDiscs files a control driver. There is conflict in the sources on two counts, disclosed rather than resolved: the distributor's archived listing card for the mold prints 8/5/0/3, a point more glide than the figure carried here, and that card is for a C-line run, a plastic our plastics data does not yet record for this disc. TryDiscs records C-Line Sparkle (Northstar) and NS-Line runs. PDGA approval came on 13 March 2023, the same day as the Pacific OS.
