Appreciate the kind review! Glad you like it. I feel like we really got this one right. I will say, definitely NOT Lucid Ice. Confirmed with our factory after hearing rumors about this. Those two plastic types are made in two completely different countries. Thanks again!
You did get it right, I bought mine the day they came out and came within a couple of feet of acing a 300' tunnel shot on my third throw with the thing. And then on the same hole the day after, it was less than a foot from going right in the chains on my fourth throw with it. I've never liked a disc this much from the moment I got my hands on it.
The wing is different than an FD and the molds I’ve received are bulging up in the middle. It’s over stable not what i wanted to replace my FD and not what I expected quality wise given the cost. At least you have the enigma
@@ryosapien27 I think many people would argue against that. It’s a fact that our quality control has improved. It’s a fact that our plastic blend is of a higher quality. The measurements are the exact same as the OG FD. So I’m sorry if you got a runt, but as an FD lover myself with close to 100 in my collection, I can that I’m extremely comfortable with the new FD and see virtually no difference. I’m sorry you don’t feel the same.
@@austinmontgomery9883 sorry i got a runt? Do you work for this company? I’ve never gotten a defective (deformed) product and had a representative from that company just shrug and say sorry yours is not right. That’s how you lose customers.
The original FD was literally one of the first 2-3 discs I bought when I started playing. It was my first favorite disc. Fond memories! Gotta check out the new one
Same, like 4-5 years ago. Then, I realized I couldn't get anymore in 2020 when I dedided I needed a backup. Discmania took a bit too long, so I moved onto other discs. I'll try it eventually..
Driving an hour to pick one (or three) up today. I hope it is more stable. I have a beat up and basically new s line, so if right away it’s the stable counterpart to those, I’m sold.
I had two of them hand delivered on their release date. Did one throw to see how it was and then today I finally got to spend some "Quality time" with it. Love the plastic feel and yeah, that disc has such a nice flight.
I think the reason it seems more stable is because of the shape of the wing that you're noticing as a different feel. It's the same thing as Calvin ripping on Eagle X's because he turns Eagle L's over. The L has a straight lip and the X is more concaved. Super stoked for more and more Discmania original molds!!!!
Hunter I REALLY appreciate that I can trust that you are giving an honest review. How would you say this compares to the passion? Yeah that new FD looks epic. Im droolin.
When i started playing a few years ago, one of the first discs i bought was an FD... and after a while when i got a decent hang of how to throw i started loving that disc... only problem was that i, as a total noob just walking into a store and buying some discs, had bought it in a grass green color :D [i would never buy a disc in that color today] and since it's so hard to find after i have thrown it (no matter if it's on the fairway or in the woods) i haven't thrown it much... and at this point there were no more FDs in the stores :/ but now i guess the next disc i buy will be a pink FD
I've seen dyed discs in greeny brown camouflage patterns. Some people are just mad. Love my florescent yellow discs, nothing worse than looking for an invisible disc
Looks like these will beat in just fine and do the trick. FD and FD3 are discs I can throw as far as my distance drivers. If it's not windy, I'm probably throwing the FD for most shots under 350.
U guys gotta get your hands on the new color glow fd from the mystery box. It has a bit of turn which is perfect for the fd. Not Flippy but not super overtsable.
I have only tested one C-lime FD (a green one) and that one is WAY more stable than the numbers suggest (and how yours fly). I throw decently far (between 400-450 on a good throw), but my C-line FD is a meat-hook deluxe (I love my S-line FD though which flips like a dream.) Has you or anyone else noticed this on some C-line FDs? (IcebergTV seems to have).
I wish it didn't take so long. I've already spent too much on discs this past couple months. TL3 replaced the old FD when I couldn't find a backup. Now, I've got Dark Rebels in S&C. I'll eventually give it a try, but might check out a Crave or River first.
It's a 7 speed so when you throw a slower disc faster than the intended speed it will react less stable making a 0 turn 7 speed be able to flip a little.
I don't know, I got quite a bit of turn out of it from ~420 foot drives. The new MD3 has the same last two numbers and I get none of that turn when throwing it as hard as I can.
@@brianbethea3069 drivers are going to naturally have more side to side movement. Also very uncommon for people to throw a 7 speed 420' so you're more of an outlier.
I’m so excited to get mine. I just ordered it. The FD will fill a spot in my bag that is empty right now. I like my forged instinct but something more straight with more glide will be awesome!!
I’d love to see how this compares to a TL. I have always loved the TL and it was always a mainstay in my bag til I couldn’t find them anymore. Recently picked up a star TL I found and it’s money, but if this is very similar and more regularly available…
TLs are still pretty easy to find. They should be pretty similar. Some people say the Fd has more glide but they look feel and fly the exact same as my TLs
I found one on a course that’s pretty much new, and the flight numbers are definitely off, at least for this one. I would say it’s like 7/5.5/-1/3. Way more than 1 fade and will sometimes turn too much.
these are all over the second hand market where I am being sold as basically unused. Discmania was charging way too much for them and they were overhyped. I guess the business side worked well but I've not seen many being thrown
Hunter, give a quick review at the beginning of the flight numbers man, not 5 minutes later. Lol. Also super rad to give us price, plastic options and definitely other discs you think it reallly compares to in our bags. Solid work otherwise!
Let’s not act like discmania didnt steal this from latitude 64… they release the River and then next year discmania drops the fd with almost the exact same flight numbers and look and actual flight
Hilarious, the whole comparison is based on "what I remember". And when was the last time you threw a new FD while they were still being produced by Innova?
Goodbye FD. Hello discraft passion. I waited a LONG time for the fd release but over the last year I have decided to stop supporting discmania. Their prices and availability feel more like a strategy than circumstance.
You're really going to have to stop calling the old molds "Real FDs" as if this FD isn't an FD... Like it's name isn't actually what it is... Doesn't FD just stand for Fairway Driver? Pretty sure that's a Fairway Driver, and it's the only disc currently being produced called an FD, so isn't this a real FD?
It would be interesting to see a comparison video between the new FD and the "new" Dark Rebel.
And the Hailey King Hawkeye
HuckSquad did that exact comparison in crazy detail
Yeah I 2nd the Hawkeye comparison. Idk wtf innova has going on but I'm unsure on which is the FD mold.
@@Arrjaayyy they’re so tied up in trying to keep a Discmania mold they crossed their own streams
@@Arrjaayyy they both are, actually

I'm going with what others want, new FD vs. Dark Rebel. I wanna know if the Dark Rebel is the same as old FD's
@David Montgomery that's awesome. Surprised more people aren't talking about them!

Play it again had a one disc limit. Good thing my wife was with me!
I just got an ace with this disc and I bought it four days ago
I had two of them hand delivered on their release date. Did one throw to see how it was and then today I finally got to spend some "Quality time" with it. Love the plastic feel and yeah, that disc has such a nice flight.
I Love that disc! One of fav. 💯
I'm getting this soon! Can't wait to throw it for myself
I love seeing discmania knock it out of the park ! Thanks for the review
Just ordered one of these hopefully gonna go right in the bag
I would love to see you guys review the Latitude 64 Grace... I just got one and it bombs. My farthest flying disc.
Seconded. Like a slightly beat in wraith in great plastic
@@benduimstra7437 Completely agree. It's sweet.
Did it take yours a little bit to beat in? Mine is more stable than expected starting out.
Totally agree. Would love to see how it reacts with their arm speed.
@@jacobevans5148 for me it gets a little turn and glides forever when I throw it flat - right out of the box.
How does this compare to the Innova Dark Rebel? Assuming the same right, since it's the OG FD mold.
Some people are saying they are a bit more stable than the OG innova FD. Might just be discmanias champ new champ plastic is more stable.
I've got two in the mail can't wait to get my hands on them ...
I think the reason it seems more stable is because of the shape of the wing that you're noticing as a different feel. It's the same thing as Calvin ripping on Eagle X's because he turns Eagle L's over. The L has a straight lip and the X is more concaved. Super stoked for more and more Discmania original molds!!!!
The FD is my favorite disc, fh and bh
The way that flew made me think of a long bomber Buzz, or the way Drew throws a Buzz at least.
I picked one up today and it was surprisingly overstable. More stable than my opto explorer. Hope it will become more understable over time
Grab a dx glow TL, they are nice a straight right out of the box.
@@WarmBusch yeah and being dx they are unthrowable after one tree
Hunter I REALLY appreciate that I can trust that you are giving an honest review. How would you say this compares to the passion?
Yeah that new FD looks epic. Im droolin.
I would need to throw the Passion a bit more before making a comparison

Great review! Would love to have seen few more forehand lines, but I will be finding out myself how those work.. All good!
Love the FD’s. I ordered mine a few days ago though and it still hasn’t even shipped yet. Imagine that
Just ordered 3!
Looks like these will beat in just fine and do the trick. FD and FD3 are discs I can throw as far as my distance drivers. If it's not windy, I'm probably throwing the FD for most shots under 350.
C-Line FD is more overstate than my Champion Dark Rebel. I prefer my dark rebel to hold that anhyzer angle.
U guys gotta get your hands on the new color glow fd from the mystery box. It has a bit of turn which is perfect for the fd. Not Flippy but not super overtsable.
FD vs instinct/explorer would be interesting!
I got one a few days ago and i honestly love it! A little stable, not over powering

DD Explorer is best consistent fairway driver as per me … but I am planning to try this and see how it flies especially in windy conditions
Explorer is made and designed by Latitude64 not DD.
@@tomipohjonen8461 yup thanks , I meant Trilogy
I'm really hoping Lat64 uses the Kastaplast glow plastic for an explorer in the future. That would be a dream disc for me.
How would this disc be on a flat forehand release in the video hunter did a hyzer release on forehand
I wish it didn't take so long. I've already spent too much on discs this past couple months. TL3 replaced the old FD when I couldn't find a backup. Now, I've got Dark Rebels in S&C. I'll eventually give it a try, but might check out a Crave or River first.
Don’t bother the dark rebel is better in everyway
@@ryosapien27 8 months later, I still use TL3s as my workhorses; Essence for something more understable.
I literally just bought 2 after watching the first throw. I have been skeptical about it being a lot more stable than the FD I love/night strike. I
Numbers on the disc is true ? When turn is 0 how a disc will flip up ? It’s due to head wind ?
It's a 7 speed so when you throw a slower disc faster than the intended speed it will react less stable making a 0 turn 7 speed be able to flip a little.
@@FoundationDGLabs Hmm thanks for the clarification..

I like the new numbers. Seems more accurate than the -1/1

@@ryosapien27 lmao 🤣
I'd love to see a comparison of the FD, River, Passion, and Dark Rebel
After seeing this, i'd love to see you throw an MVP Insanity. The straightest lasers i've ever thrown, both forehand and backhand.
I’m so excited to get mine. I just ordered it. The FD will fill a spot in my bag that is empty right now. I like my forged instinct but something more straight with more glide will be awesome!!
Also worth noting the old FDs were -1 1 (turn and fade) while the new one is labeled 0 1.
I’d love to see how this compares to a TL. I have always loved the TL and it was always a mainstay in my bag til I couldn’t find them anymore. Recently picked up a star TL I found and it’s money, but if this is very similar and more regularly available…
TLs are still pretty easy to find. They should be pretty similar. Some people say the Fd has more glide but they look feel and fly the exact same as my TLs
How do you think it comperes against instict?
I found one on a course that’s pretty much new, and the flight numbers are definitely off, at least for this one. I would say it’s like 7/5.5/-1/3. Way more than 1 fade and will sometimes turn too much.
How does this compare to the Maverick? A little more stable?
If you like the fd I'd definitely try the Lat 64 River and Maul
Probably don't call the old one the real fd 🤣 so pumped up to get mine
these are all over the second hand market where I am being sold as basically unused. Discmania was charging way too much for them and they were overhyped. I guess the business side worked well but I've not seen many being thrown
This is a good review
Were these both max weight?
I think you should test out the Teleport by MVP I think for a 14.5 speed it has a nice flight even though I don't think my arm speed meets it
Y’all should try the phenom and patriot in the new pinnacle plastic!!!!
do a review on the finish line era.
I wish you guys would have advertised that you would be selling them. I already bought one from somewhere else.
Definitely have to try. My go to fairway is Insanity and this seems reasonable similar, though insanity should be less stable than this...
depends in which plastic. my glow is significantly more stable than my other (full color stamp, not sure on plastic)
Why have a scale to 10 if you don't use the 10th? That was a glowing review, give it a 10.
A 10 has to be life changingly perfect. I don't know if there will ever be a perfect 10
Hunter, give a quick review at the beginning of the flight numbers man, not 5 minutes later. Lol. Also super rad to give us price, plastic options and definitely other discs you think it reallly compares to in our bags. Solid work otherwise!
Why does everyone care so much about flight numbers
Try k1 lots🙌🏻
Anyone ever notice that Hunter looks like Mitch Trubisky?
Bro. I couldn’t put the name to the face but YES 😂
You forgot one negative: it costs $22 at least. $5 more than competitors or 30%~.
TL3 might fly close?
Innova TL is the original FD.
Are you at circle c?
I don’t think they are haha. They’re based out of NC or Virginia I think. Gotta love those circle c fields though
@@aaronmink4887 yeah bro. Here now running my dog! Shes got a f2 beast. Haha
you think a little scuff will affect the flight?
lol I thought the guy was joking
Let’s not act like discmania didnt steal this from latitude 64… they release the River and then next year discmania drops the fd with almost the exact same flight numbers and look and actual flight
Flight looks like what my Kasta Plast Falk K1.. 🤔
Discmania fandom be like "man the FD is so cool there's just nothing like it" and like, the JLS has existed for decades LOL
You know Silas is filming when it’s so quite😌
Wish they came in blue
It does
@@anmarix purple was the closest I saw available
Hilarious, the whole comparison is based on "what I remember". And when was the last time you threw a new FD while they were still being produced by Innova?
Yeah but is it Italian?
I'm eating meat-a-balls out of it right now!
Neutron relay didn't fly like this for you.
Dark rebel
Goodbye FD. Hello discraft passion. I waited a LONG time for the fd release but over the last year I have decided to stop supporting discmania. Their prices and availability feel more like a strategy than circumstance.
