How does the Destroyer fly?
Thrown flat and hard, the Destroyer begins with a slight turn before flexing back with a strong, predictable fade. On a hyzer angle, it rides a tight arc and punches through wind with confidence. In headwinds, it resists turning over, making it a trusted option for full-power throws. When thrown on anhyzer by power players, it delivers a long flex flight that maximizes both distance and control. Beat-in versions provide more turn, expanding its utility across different shot shapes.
