Dino Discs Distance Driver 10|5|-3|1 The Dino Discs Pterodactylus is a lightweight, understable distance driver designed specifically for younger disc golfers, beginners, and players with lower arm speeds. Its flight numbers are typically 10/5/-3/1, indicating good speed, generous glide, significant turn, and a mild fade. Key characteristics and benefits: Beginner-Friendly: The lightweight design (typically between 110-130g) and understable flight path make it easier for players with lower arm speeds to achieve a full S-curve flight and greater distance compared to standard-weight discs. Distance Driver for Kids: While categorized as a distance driver, its manageable rim width and understability mean high-speed throws are not necessary to get good results. Floats in Water: The lightweight construction also means the Pterodactylus floats, which can be advantageous when playing near water hazards. Good for Learning Form: It's a great disc for developing players to build confidence and refine their throwing form. Flippy: The Pterodactylus is known for its understability, which can make it prone to turning over (moving to the right for a right-hand backhand thrower) if thrown flat. However, experienced players can use this characteristic for rollers or specialized shots. Not PDGA Approved: While it uses the mold for the ABC Secret Weapon, it is not PDGA approved for sanctioned events. Fun and Exciting Plastic: The discs are made with colorful "Egg Shell" plastic, featuring decorative effects like splatters, swirls, and sparkles. Some variations, like "Egg Shell Glow" and "Egg Shell Ultraviolet," add glow-in-the-dark and color-changing properties, respectively. In essence, the Dino Discs Pterodactylus provides a fun and accessible entry point into disc golf, particularly for children and those with developing arm speed, allowing them to experience longer throws and build confidence on the course.
