The Gou is a turning, speed-8 Yikun driver, rated 8/5/-3.5/1. It suits lower-power distance and controlled turnovers with little late return. A stronger thrower may need a hyzer start, tilted toward the fading side, to keep the early turn from carrying the disc beyond the chosen line. The rating makes the Gou less suited to a shot that needs a heavy finishing hook. Its relatively moderate speed gives a player another way to develop distance without jumping directly to very wide driver rims. The PDGA approved it as Sky Hound (天狗, Gou) on 13 May 2014, linking the short name to the certified mold.

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.
