The Tara Iti is RPM's speed-10 driver, rated 10/5/0/2. It fits forward placement lines with a moderate finish and little intended turn, particularly for a player who can bring that speed class up to pace. Lower-speed throws may begin fading before covering the expected distance. RPM names it after the New Zealand fairy tern. The shot role is more useful than a bird analogy: choose it for a mostly straight route that leaves some room to finish, rather than for a gentle turnover that needs little recovery. The PDGA approved Tara Iti (Fairy Tern, DGFD3) on 23 March 2023.

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.
