This midrange from Discraft offers a reliable flight path for players looking for control in adverse conditions. The Hornet possesses a distinct overstable nature, meaning it resists turning over and finishes with a strong fade at the end of its flight. With a Speed 5 and Glide 5, the disc feels stable from the moment it leaves the hand, holding lines through the air before locking into a predictable finish. It excels as a utility workhorse, perfect for powering through headwinds or executing spike hyzers when the target is unreachable. The flat top profile and firm feel make it an ideal choice for forehand mids, where consistent distance and sharp angles are necessary. Intermediate players will appreciate the disc's ability to fight through wind, though a moderate amount of arm speed is required to generate the necessary spin for tight lines.
