![]() We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. Recommended Skill Level: Advanced, Intermediate.The Run 5 Swirly S-Blend Pharaoh is more overstable than any previous run." Pharaoh Dimensions: For example, the "Run 3" I-Blend Pharaoh is more understable and has a flight rating of 13 / 6 / -2 / 2 which is different than the first two runs which were on Swirly S-Blend plastic. NOTE: The flight numbers may change on different runs. Rule your local disc golf course with the Pharaoh! Throw the Pharaoh off the tee when you need to cover as much territory as possible. The fade is not overpowering, making this a distance driver that will work wonders even for intermediate players. ![]() Discraft seems to have really nailed the production on these new signature discs, and if you can get one of these at actual retail cost, it’s worth picking one up."The Pharaoh is the quintessential distance driver, built for a high speed release and maximum distance. Out of the five we ordered from the first prototype release run, they’re all very similar in molding and dome. ![]() It’s about as reliable as an understable disc can be, and it feels excellent in the hand. Realistically, compared to what I expect from how I was throwing it (and the few really good pulls that I somehow didn’t get on camera haha), it’s an excellent disc. But none of that is the fault of the disc, by any means. Perhaps as I figure out the issues with my current form I’ll be able to get the power back from before the form teardown. Overall, however, I was mostly disappointed with my form (or lack thereof), and not with the flight of the disc. Final thoughts about the Discraft Hades-worth the hype? It’s a bit less stable than my “FAF” Champion FlyDye Tern, which is a ridiculously stable run of the Tern. Even with a tailwind it still wants to flip up a bit, but then predictably dumps out at the end of the flight.Ĭompared to my worn-in Star Destroyer, it’s definitely less stable, which is, again, expected. It was a bit more stable than my very beat up Star Tern, and quite a bit more beat up than my old Blizzard DD2-right where I expected a brand new disc with this understability to sit. Compared to other discs I’m more familiar with, it did basically what I was expecting it to. In the video, we had about a 10-15 mph tailwind, with a bit of left-to-right action. But that said, I still know how this disc flies for both myself at a relatively low arm speed and how it would fly with proper technique. How does the Discraft Hades fly?įirst of all, as I’m sure you’ll notice in the video for this post, I’ve got some massive form issues to work out as I’ve been tearing down my old form and (poorly) trying to rebuild. ![]() If you’re moving from Innova to Discraft-or just need a frame of reference if you’re curious-it’s extremely similar to these classic discs. The grip of new Signature ESP plastic doesn’t leave anything to be desired, and the rim depth is also pretty familiar, as it’s basically a Tern/Destroyer rim feel. ESP plastic feels great in general and looks absolutely stunning. This run of the Hades is in the Discraft Signature ESP plastic. How does the Discraft Hades feel in the hand? For pros, you’ll see this disc more as a utility roller than anything, especially as it beats in a bit. If you’re consistently crushing 400 feet or more, this would probably fit in the roller disc category for you. Yes, there may be some discrepancies between the actual flights as they’re from separate companies, but the Zeus is clearly meant to be Paul’s new Destroyer as the Hades is meant to be the new Tern. This pairing is pretty similar to how the Hades was released as a complement to the Discraft Zeus (originally released as the Kong in prototype), Paul McBeth’s Destroyer replacement from his new sponsor.īoth the Zeus and Destroyer have the same flight ratings of 12 / 5 / -1 / 3. I’ve bagged a Star Tern for many years at this point, and it’s been my go-to max distance without max power driver for a long time, with a Star Destroyer as my full-power driver when accuracy isn’t as necessary. The Hades has a flight rating of 12 / 6 / -3 / 2, putting it very close to an Innova Star Tern, which shares the same flight rating (Star plastic has the -3 turn rating, Champion and others are rated at -2). Understable drivers are easier to get distance out of than a stable or overstable driver, making these discs a go-to choice for newer or lower power throwers. Final thoughts about the Discraft Hades-worth the hype?įirst of all, the Discraft Hades is an understable distance driver, which is why it’s quickly become quite popular as a beginner’s distance driver.How does the Discraft Hades feel in the hand?. ![]()
