Discmania S-Line CD1 Disc - Retired Thunder - 2024 April Jewels

SPEED: 9 GLIDE: 5 TURN: -1 FADE: 2

The Retired Thunder is a bit more current take on Dana Vicich's popular Roaming Thunder Signature Series releases, originally featured with two separate releases on the Swirly S-line CD2's of the past.

CD1 is back with a reinvented name. Formerly known as CD2, Discmania brought the mold back to the spotlight based on popular demand. The letters “CD” in the name stand for Control Driver, putting the player in the driver’s seat and allowing you full control to manipulate and style the disc exactly how you want it to. CD1 makes for a great first distance driver for less powerful or skilled players and an incredibly useful disc for experts, too. Those with a bit more arm speed will find that this disc often will compete for distance with even their fastest drivers, yet the execution feels more effortless and controlled.

CD1 handles just about any wind condition with ease but is most well suited for tailwinds and calmer weather. Players will notice that the CD1 has the tendency to fly similarly to a well seasoned PD, giving you the right amount of glide and shot shaping options but will always maintain enough stability to end with a smooth low speed fade in the end. If you only had one disc to play a round with, this disc would be an excellent choice.

Good for: Backhand, forehand, tailwind, calm weather, amateur distance driver, expert fairway/distance driver, sneaky sneaky bombs.

Compares to: Longer FD, well-seasoned PD

S-Line Plastic: Compared to the C-Line counterpart, this S-Line version is going to fly a bit straighter with less effort. Profile of the disc is comparable with a gentle dome throughout and semi rigid flexibility.

Please note that color(s) will vary.
