Choose it for
Power-oriented distance drives. Fast drives and long finishing lines when you can already get a consistent flight from demanding drivers.
Choose something else if…
You are buying your first driver or still get more useful distance and control from a fairway driver.
What the numbers mean for your choice
The -1 turn and 3 fade are manufacturer ratings, not a promise of an S-shaped flight. Your speed, angle and disc version change the result.

1 of 1 flight lines shown.
For this throw, fade bends left late in the flight.
Illustrative flight paths based on published ratings (or your numbers for custom discs). Assumes a flat release; not measured trajectories or a prediction of your distance. Power, angle, wind, plastic, weight and wear change actual flight. Ratings also vary between brands.
How these curves are drawn
Turn controls the early bend; fade adds a separate bend near the end. Speed and glide set a relative line length for display only. Switching hand or throw type mirrors the diagram. Identical ratings produce identical curves, even when the actual discs fly differently. The chart does not model power, wind, release angle or plastic.

Before you buy
Choose it for a specific long line you can repeat. Compare controlled throws with a slower driver before assuming speed 12 adds distance.
Read about the Wraith or compare them side by side.
Already have a disc for this shot? Add your discs to Bag Check to organize their roles and check possible overlap before adding another.
Try this on your next practice session
Alternate the Destroyer and a familiar driver on an open fairway. Track how often each lands in a playable area as well as the longest throw.
Buying advice is editorial interpretation of the sources. Personal notes are labeled separately; the practice exercise is a suggestion, not a reported test. Practice in a clear area away from people.
