How Does the Archangel Fly?
From the tee, the Archangel naturally flips up from a hyzer and glides on a gentle anhyzer before settling with a soft fade. For lower power players, it flies straight with a touch of drift, allowing for easy shaping and distance. In tailwinds, it’s a distance machine. For more experienced throwers, it can be used as a roller or for touch turnover shots. It’s an accessible, forgiving disc that delivers distance with control.
