Low Speed Driver

DISCONTINUED
Distance Driver

The Low Speed Driver was a driver from Quest Applied Technologies (PDGA-approved June 21, 2006); its name indicates a lower-speed profile. Quest was a boutique, experimental maker best known for the golf-inspired "Dimple Technology" on its faster molds. Its original run ended in the late 2000s; as of 2026 the Quest name has returned to retail under a revival.

SpeedHow hard the disc must be thrown to fly as designed. Putters are 1 to 3, the fastest drivers 14 and up.
-
GlideHow long the disc stays in the air. More glide means more distance from the same throw.
-
TurnHow much it drifts right early in flight (right-handed backhand). More negative, more drift.
-

1.6 cm
