The RPM Discs Arcturus is a glidey, understable midrange (5/6/-1/0) built for easy, straight-to-turnover flight. Its high glide and gentle turn make it simple to get distance and hold long, flippy lines with minimal fade, which suits smooth, controlled shots and lower arm speeds. RPM Discs is New Zealand's homegrown manufacturer, known for durable, distinctive plastics.

Questions

  • What is the RPM Arcturus good for?
    Straight and turnover midrange shots. The Arcturus (5/6/-1/0) is understable with lots of glide and almost no fade, so it flies straight and flips easily to hold long, gentle turnover lines. It is a forgiving, easy-to-throw midrange, especially for smoother or lower-power throws.
