Pathfinder

4.9(278)
Mid Range
The Pathfinder is Thought Space Athletics' neutral midrange rated 5/5/0/1. Its no-turn rating and light fade fit straight drives and controlled approaches where the flight should stay close to the intended line. Thought Space emphasizes glide and direct, target-oriented throwing in its description. That makes Pathfinder a useful candidate for placement work and for learning how release angles change a midrange path. Its modest finish is also a reason to choose a different role when the shot needs an early, pronounced hook around an obstacle. The PDGA approved Pathfinder on 23 June 2020 (20-51).

The Thought Space Athletics Pathfinder is one of the most-reviewed discs we track.

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.
