Mid Range
The Gila is Reptilian Disc Golf's overstable midrange, rated 5/4/0/3. It fits approaches and short tees that need a mostly straight beginning and a strong finish. Reptilian identifies a large bead beneath the rim and emphasizes power midrange use. Its product descriptions also show profile variation by run, with some described as flat and another glow run described as mildly domed. The PDGA approved the Gila on 19 August 2017.

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.
