The Jin Wu is rated 9/5/0/2. It gets filed three different ways: TryDiscs classifies it as a control driver, Yikun's page body calls it a fairway driver, and Yikun's own product title labels it both a fairway driver and a distance driver. The zero turn suggests limited high-speed movement before a moderate late finish, and its published numbers do not position it as an easy hyzer-flip driver. Yikun describes a stable flight path with notable glide, aimed at golfers across skill levels. On the numbers alone, expect resistance to high-speed turnover and a finish left for a right-handed backhand; lower-power throwers may meet that fade earlier than the rating implies. PDGA certified it on 30 January 2023 as Golden Crow (金乌, Jīn Wū), the three-legged solar bird of Chinese myth. Yikun offers it in its Glaze plastic among others.

Reviews

6 reviews from 1 store

The Yikun Jin Wu has only 6 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.
