FD
The FD is truly one of the great straight-flying fairway drivers. This disc is perfect for straight line shots through low ceiling tree lines. As an accurate, smooth flying disc, the FD is a winner for beginners and pros. While the FD isn’t the fastest flying fairway driver, it does offer excellent glide, allowing it to rival your furthest flying distance drivers.
The Discmania made and Innova made FDs feel and fly similar, if not identical. When adding a review, feel free to comment your opinions on how they differ!

DD
The new Discmania DD is the most understable distance driver in the Originals lineup. The new version made in Sweden is significantly more understable and beginner friendly than the older Innova-made ones. This disc will do wonders in the hands of beginners and intermediate players and will be a easy disc for them to throw far, even with low power. Advanced players will find this disc to be understable enough to turn over and finish right even with a slight hyzer release. This makes this disc great for rollers, sky anhyzers, and slow flip-ups with some touch.

Astronaut
The second distance driver in the Active Line boasts tremendous speed, glide, and low-speed fade for players of all skill levels. The Astronaut has been created to unleash maximum distance for players of all skill levels, especially people moving towards their first high-speed driver. Those with larger amounts of power to their throw may find this to be an excellent long-distance roller and will perform equally as well when thrown with controlled power in the air. Astronaut can be expected to have high speed flight out of the hand, moderate to significant high speed turn, and minimal fade. Anyone that enjoys a fast driver they can maneuver with impressive anhyzers through the air will enjoy the Astronaut very much.

CD1
The Discmania CD1 is a versatile control driver. The CD1 puts you in the driver's seat, allowing you full control to manipulate and style the disc exactly how you want it to. This disc is a great choice for both less powerful or less skilled players looking for a first distance driver and experienced experts seeking a reliable, versatile disc for their game. The CD1's execution feels effortless and controlled, often competing for distance with even the fastest drivers in experienced hands.
The CD1 can handle just about any wind condition with ease, but is best suited for tailwinds and calmer weather. Players will appreciate the CD1's ability to fly similarly to a well-seasoned PD, offering the right amount of glide and shot shaping options while maintaining enough stability to end with a smooth low-speed fade. If you only had one disc to play a round with, the CD1 would be an excellent choice for its versatility and reliability.

FD2
The FD2 is out of production, and based on the flight of the FD1, which now fills that Teebird spot, a new run of FD2 will most likely be a different disc entirely.
The FD2 is a stable-flying fairway driver with TeeBird like flight ratings. Discmania gives their second fairway driver this description: “The FD2 is a reliable speed 7 workhorse fairway driver for all skill levels. It’s not too glidey to avoid you from sailing off-target and it has a low-speed fade you can depend on. Packed with a nice amount of high speed stability, this disc gives you nice straight lines when thrown flat and hard. The more power you put behind this disc, the straighter lines you will see it perform. When thrown more gently, the fade will kick in earlier in flight, making cutting corners easier.”
