Adder

4.4(27)
Distance Driver

The Adder is an overstable distance driver. This makes for a great distance driver for power throwers, or an excellent utility disc that can handle windy situations. The Adder resists turning over for nearly everyone, and you can trust this disc to maintain its flight path regardless of most conditions.

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.

  • Mako3 is better

    If overstable discs are beefy than this disc is a field full of cows. If this disc were an ice cream flavour it would be the purple kind because mine is purple. This disc makes a firebird look like a purple firebird if you look at the firebird through this disc. This disc gets bonus points for being sold at the store i got it at. Like an adder snaking its way thr.g .ough grass, this disc will snake its way to the basket if you throw it on a roller. It is fitting that this disc is made by westside, because if you are right handed and throw it north it will go west. In conclusion, this disc is much better than the discraft buzzz because the buzzz doesn't go good.
