The Nuance is an understable fairway produced by Thought Space Athletics that features a comfortable grip and high glide. It has been described as blending the feel of a Votum and the glide of a Mantra. For slower arms, Nuance’s will fly quite straight with minimal fade. For faster arms, however, the Nuance will make for a great turnover, hyzerflip, or roller disc.

Thought Space had the Nuance PDGA approved in early 2024, and it quickly became a popular disc in their lineup thanks to its beginner-friendly flight. It is also remarkably similar to the Remix Discs Mercenary, both of which are produced by MVP. Lykke Lorentzen has been known to throw the Nuance, and it has been her Signature Series disc. DFX-stamped Nuance’s are sought after.
