Midrange · Stable · Traced from the official flight chart
The Discraft Hawk is a speed 4 midrange with glide 3, turn -2 and fade +2, for an estimated maximum distance of 64 m / 210 ft. With turn and fade balanced, it is a stable midrange that flies close to a straight line at its rated speed. The flight path above is traced directly from Discraft's official chart, so it reflects the disc's real charted flight rather than a calculated estimate.
At speed 4, this is a midrange in the putt-and-approach range. It needs very little arm speed to fly as designed, so it stays predictable even for brand-new players. Its glide of 3 gives it steady, controllable float. A turn of -2 means it banks right easily in the early, high-speed part of the flight, and a fade of +2 gives it a moderate finish to the left as it slows.
Stability: Stable (rating 0). It flies predictably in light wind, though a strong headwind will still push it around like any neutral disc.
Backhand & forehand: It is versatile for both backhand and forehand, holding whatever line you release it on.
Skill level: Its low speed and stable flight make it forgiving for newer players still building arm speed.
