The Yang Jian is an overstable driver rated 9/4/0/3. Moderate glide with zero turn and a 3 fade suggests a headwind and forced-hyzer role rather than a distance mold, and as of August 2026 its glide is the lowest among Yikun's catalogued speed 9 molds. It is not the disc for a player chasing maximum distance. Yikun supplies specifications and a plastic lineup for it but little descriptive flight copy. Its English catalogue lists the mold as Jian at the same rating carried here and files it as a distance driver, where TryDiscs classifies it as a control driver. The mold does not appear on Yikun's main storefront as of August 2026. PDGA certified it on 26 May 2025 as Erlang (杨戬, Yáng Jiǎn). Yikun's own Chinese page for the mold is titled 杨戬 JIAN, which ties the catalogue's short name to the certified one.

The Yikun Yang Jian has only 1 review 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.
