The Paladin US is the understable run of Northstar's Paladin, a mold TryDiscs files as a control driver. As of August 2026 it is the Danish brand's newest PDGA certification, approved 10 May 2024.

The flight fields on this page are empty. Northstar's own distributor listing prints a rating, at speed 8, glide 6, turn minus 1 and fade 2, and describes an understable low-speed fairway driver with a bit more length than both the overstable and neutral versions. As of August 2026 that listing is the one published rating among the sources traced for this page.

Its Danish distributor's archived listings describe each Northstar driver as made in understable (US), neutral (NS) and overstable (OS) runs, this being the Paladin's understable one. TryDiscs holds no plastics rows for it yet.
