Choose it for
A first fairway driver. An optional step beyond your midrange. Choose the Leopard when you want to explore fairway-driver shots while staying at speed 6.
Choose something else if…
If your midrange already reaches the same useful landing area, wait. A driver should add a shot, not just a new label to your bag.
What the Leopard flight numbers mean
The -2 turn suggests room for the disc to drift during the faster part of a throw; 1 fade means a gentle finish. Throw it too slowly and you may see more fade than you expected.

Before you buy
Compare it with your own midrange on the same safe target line. If it brings no useful improvement in your results, leave the driver out for now. You do not need a complete set of disc categories to play.

Guides for choosing the Leopard
Practice idea
Alternate a few comfortable throws with your midrange and the Leopard. Record where they land and whether you would accept that result on a hole. Judge a group of throws rather than the single longest one.
