Stratosphere

Control Driver
The Stratosphere is Wing It Disc Golf's first driver, rated 9/4/-2/1. It fits controlled flights with useful turn and a small finish, including hyzer releases that rise toward flat. A stronger throw can use the turn for a longer curve, while slower throws may fade before producing the same movement. Wing It's own development account follows the disc from a digital model to a metal mold and then through production adjustments. The brand names Freeform Polymers as its local manufacturing partner and says trimming the mold to achieve the desired weights left the outer rim sharper than originally intended. The PDGA approved the Stratosphere on 30 December 2021, completing the brand's first year of development.

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.
