The Rift is an understable Obsidian Discs distance driver rated 11/5/-3/1: a glidey, flat-topped driver with a lot of high-speed turn and a light fade. Obsidian aims it at slower arms that want long glide from a wider rim, and names long anhyzer, roller and tailwind throws as its uses. Strong throwers who want a driver that holds a straight line in the wind should look elsewhere. Obsidian says advanced and professional players can use it for rollers, and its shop notes that the latest production run flies understable. The flat top gives it a distinct feel compared with domed drivers. The PDGA approved the Rift on 9 May 2018 (18-40). Obsidian Discs is a Finnish company from Joensuu, founded in 2014, and it makes the Rift in its H9 plastic, which it describes as durable, flexible, grippy and well suited to dyeing. The Rift is in stock in Obsidian's own shop as of October 2026. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Prodigy H6 and the Dynamic Discs Treason.

The Obsidian Discs Obsidian Rift has only 3 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.
