The Launch is a midrange rated 5/5/-1/2. A single point of turn into a 2 fade suggests a stable, mostly straight midrange flight with a dependable left finish for a right-hand backhand. Vibram introduced it in 2017 as its newest midrange, a stable straight flyer its page aimed at beginners and slower arms, saying tailwinds take it straight and long while at speed it handles headwinds. PDGA approval came on 21 April 2017, one of the final two certifications of the brand's run, alongside the Crag. TryDiscs records four rubber runs for it. Out of production since Vibram's 2018 exit.

Reviews

The Vibram Launch has only 5 reviews so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

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.
