The Caldera is an Obsidian Discs distance driver rated 12/5/-1/2. Its small amount of turn and moderate fade fit long curved drives, with more speed demand than the brand's slower control molds. Obsidian calls Caldera its first driver and says the underside of its rim has a rounded shape. The manufacturer recommends calm conditions and tailwinds, while acknowledging that wide-rimmed drivers are usually a demanding starting point for novices. The PDGA approved Caldera on 10 May 2016 (16-45).

5 reviews from 2 stores

The Obsidian Discs Caldera has only 5 reviews so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

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.
