Warlock

Assassin
The Assassin is a controllable distance driver that offers a fairly neutral flight path combined with excellent glide, making it perfect for straight fairway drives or powering up for a long turnover drive. Its smooth, moderate dome and semi-wide wing make it comfortable in the hand. If you like the Sabre but want something easier to really wing out there, the Assassin is your disc. You will find it to be surprisingly stable even in lighter weights.

Prophecy
The Prophecy is a slightly overstable midrange disc with good glide and control. It could be compared to an Innova ROC, but with additional speed and glide. The Prophecy has a good resistance to turn and a gentle fade at the end of its flight.
