Stratosphere

Description

Disc Golf UK are happy to stock a new manufacturer of disc golf discs from across the pond, Wing It Disc Golf. Wing It are a disc golf company formed by disc golf enthusiasts winging it and looking to have a good time creating quality products made in the USA.The Stratosphere is a slightly understable driver that lands right between a fairway and a distance driver. It’s a great option for recreational players who want great distance results while throwing a disc that doesn’t need a lot of speed. For experienced players, it will provide plenty of turn before finishing with a slight fade. The Stratosphere is their first disc mold, here’s what they have to say:”We learned a lot with this disc as we worked through the process, from 3D model, to metal mold, to plastic blending, adjusting the mold, and running discs. Did it turn out perfectly? There are things we learned through trial and error and the result may not be on par with disc makers who have been making discs for decades. But we’re still happy with the results and the learning experience on our first disc. After trimming the mold to get the correct weights, the outside rim turned out sharper than we originally wanted. But the flight is great– very close to what we were looking for. The plastic blend ended up feeling great and the manufacturing by our local partner, Freeform Polymers, provided some excellent swirly effects. The PDGA approved the Stratosphere on December 30, 2021, right at the end of the year that we spent working on the disc from conception to production.Our preliminary flight numbers are 9 / 4 / -2 / 1 “
