Choose it for
A straight first fairway driver. Discmania says beginners like its straight-to-stable flight off the tee, while experienced players use it for point-and-shoot drives.
Choose something else if…
You want a fairway driver that turns easily for hyzer flips. The Leopard3, rated -2 turn, flips up more readily.
What the FD flight numbers mean
Glide 6 with zero turn and 1 fade describes a disc that carries and finishes gently. Discmania adds that it glides farther than its speed rating suggests.
