Here's everything you need to know to pick the right midrange for your game.What Is a Midrange Disc Good For?Midranges excel when you need accuracy over raw distance: Approach shots from 150–280 feet Short par-3 holes where a driver would overshoot the green Tight wooded fairways where a midrange is more controllable Hyzer shots, anhyzer shots, and flex lines requiring precise angle control Stability: The Most Important FactorUnderstable Midranges (Turn: -2 to...

The honest answer is that most players — even experienced ones — benefit more from fairway drivers than distance drivers in most situations.The Core DifferenceThe fundamental difference is rim width.
