I've always bagged multiple L64 Rivers in this slot, but as I cleaned up my form and got more distance only the most stable runs of Rivers did what I wanted them to; that being flip up a little bit but come back to where I was aiming in most wind conditions. When the new FD came out I tried it and it immediately made my bag. It felt familiar, flew the lines my Rivers flew when I had less power, and it handles a decent wind well.

In addition, the plastic changes the flight enough to warrant carrying multiple of this mold in different plastics.

S-Line goes into a relatively gentle turn over it's whole flight, and is an amazing woods disc. In S-Line, the FD flies exactly the same as my Rivers; but it has more torque resistance and can handle wind better than my Rivers. I'd rate it at 7, 6, -2, 0.5, but I don't bag these since I still prefer the River in this spot, likely for nostalgic reasons only. 

C-Line goes dead strait. It flips up and turns a little bit before coming back to exactly where I was aiming. This is dead on the numbers of the innova made FD at 7, 6, -1, 1. I don't bag these either, since my entire bag is glow and these don't glow. That, and I'm working on beating in a Showstopper 2 to fit this slot right now. Speaking of Showstopper 2's....

Horizon Glow C-Line (Ella Hanson Showstopper 2) flips up a little bit but fades slightly left of where I was aiming. This is a new add to my bag, but out of the box it's flying at what I would say is a 7, 6, -0.5, 1. Right now I bag one of these, but as they season into the 7, 6, -1, 1 slot mentioned above I'll possibly bag 2 of this run to cycle them. 

Glow C-Line (the pirate stamped ones OTB used to have, as well as the Gannon Burr edition) kicked one of my explorers out of my bag because it held the same lines, but the extra glide made it carry further than even my longest explorer. There's a little "dimple" in the shoulder of these discs, and I'm convinced that's what makes it this overstable for an FD. I'd rate these two runs at 7, 6, 0, 2. I bag one of these, and don't see this being replaced by an Explorer at any point in the future because I think it's that amazing of a run. 

Similar to the second run of the Innova made FD's, the second run C-Line are also as stable as the glow C-Lines I mention above, and have the same "dimple" in the shoulder of the disc; but they also have a parting line height that's between 1-2 mm taller than any other run of the new FD that I have ever seen. Outside of the dimples and the decently taller PLH, it's hard to find the hallmarks of these second run FD's; I just know mine are second run because I bought them shortly after they finished running the "First run" stamped FD's. I don't bag these because I bag the regular C-Line glow run above, as it flies the same but glows. 

If you need a fairway driver mold that can handle all but the most overstable flights, I can't recommend new FDs enough. They are amazing and before the FD I wasn't at all a fan of Discmania's discs, and now they're a staple in my game and I couldn't go back to what I used to throw in these slots

One of if not the best fairway driver ever made. It goes almost as far as any max distance driver with a dead straight flight with the slightest fade at the end. In the less durable plastics is a great disc for beginners. 

This is by far my favorite fairway. You can put it on what ever angle you want and it will hold/ flex 

FD must stand for Favorite Driver because this disc is the bee's knees. I have 2 Night Strike's in color glow C line and these guys need no power to behave like a driver. Overhead thumbers, low power tunnel shots and just butter smooth turnover shots are a breeze with this disc. I would recommend the regular C line if you have some power. You can rip this discs into the ground if you get a little overzealous. This is great for a beginner to learn all different disc angles and lines. I can't get enough!

The Nate Perkins night strike II is amazing this disc is so straight right out of the box. easy to shape into long turnover shots or straight laser lines gap shots. the rim and disc feel great in the hand. the FD should be a staple in anyones bag looking for accurate straight distance!

I've thrown s-line, C-line, luster, and color glow FD and this color glow run is by for the must undertsable of the FDs I've thrown. Having said that, it works great for turnover shots, rollers and hyzer flips. If you like to minimize your mold selection and throw an FD and would like a flippy FD for your bag, this is the one. It's hard to beat the color glow plastic. It feels great! 

The signature glow FD is by far the best true fairway driver in the industry. I have been throwing the Glow FD's for a number of years now, this run is no different. Slightly more stable, and able to be thrown with power, the glow FD can be thrown accurately, at distances of 350+. I would say this disc is a "True" flyer, the disc will stay on the angle of release, and this true to form virtue of the disc allows a confidence that one can navigate the woods with accuracy and control. On a dead straight line, the Glow FD has the carry that other fairways and more overstable drivers lack. 

I cannot recommend enough spending the extra few bucks on the glow plastic. It is worth the investment.

This is my go to disc for just about every woods shot, tunnel shot and clutch shot. Just point and shoot with this sexy hunk of plastic.If you have a clean smooth release you be greatly rewarded.

 You can use this for power shots if you keep it on an anny on your release. It will pop up straight and glide for ever. But the one thing that is not that great about this disc is when the wind is blowing, it gets pushed around a little bit.

  This disc complements the PD perfect and highly recommend you try the FD.
