Nv Wa

Control Driver
The Nv Wa is an understable control driver rated 8/6/-1.5/0. High glide with no rated fade suggests very little late hook, which makes it useful for anhyzer and turnover lines. It is not for a player who wants headwind resistance or a dependable finish back to the left. Yikun describes a large-diameter long-distance mold with exceptional gliding, and says experienced players will notice significant tilt before it descends with virtually zero descent angle. More power may simply produce more turn, since there is little rated fade to bring it back. Yikun sells the mold across more than one plastic and the numbers differ between them: its Glaze-X listing gives speed 8 in both title and body, matching the rating carried here, while its separate Inner Colour listing gives speed 6 in the body. The categories differ between those listings too: TryDiscs classifies the mold as a control driver, Yikun's Inner Colour title calls it a fairway driver, and its Glaze-X title labels it both a fairway driver and a distance driver. PDGA certified it on 30 January 2023 as Dragoness (女娲, Nü Wā), a creator goddess of Chinese myth often paired with Fu Xi, which Yikun also makes. Offered in Glaze X and Inner Colour among others.

The Yikun Nv Wa 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.
