The Xi He is a deliberately understable driver rated 9/5/-3.5/0.5. TryDiscs classifies it as a control driver while Yikun's title calls it a distance driver. That much turn at speed 9 makes it a shaping and roller tool, not a straight-line driver, and it is not the disc for a headwind or for a player still fighting unwanted turnover.

Yikun calls it strongly right-tilting, which for a right-handed backhand means it moves right, and says its descent angle is minimal. Yikun points it at dogleg lines and long rolling attempts, and separately presents it as a good way for beginners to try long-distance throws. The 0.5 fade suggests little late airborne hook.

PDGA certified it on 30 January 2023 as Lightbearer (羲和, Xī Hé), the solar figure of Chinese myth. As with the Fu Xi, Yikun's title says Glaze Line while the material field and our plastics data say Glaze X.

The Yikun Xi He has only 3 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.
