Top Understable Distance Drivers
This list automatically updates with the top 20 best selling understable distance drivers based on Infinite Discs sales. Understable drivers excel at providing more distance for players with slower arm speeds, making them ideal for beginners and those who struggle to fully power overstable discs. They also shine for controlled hyzer flips that achieve a full, extended flight, and for turnover shots that require a high degree of high-speed turn. Discs like the Infinite Discs Maya, Innova Tern, Discraft Scorch, and Clash Wild Honey give most players easier distance—something every disc golfer wants. Whether you’re chasing max glide, shaping long anhyzers, or unlocking extra range with less effort, these are the go-to options.
As you explore, be sure to also take a look at our lists of:

Tern
The Tern is an understable high speed driver. Being understable, this is a comfortable disc that provides max distance for intermediate players. While the Tern’s rim is very wide (2.3 cm) it isn’t at max width like the Dominator, Vulcan, or Katana. The Innova Tern was approved by the PDGA on December 3, 2012. Innova states that the flight rating of this disc in Star and Champion plastic slightly differ. The flight rating for Champion Plastic is 12/6/-2/2.

Avenger SS
The Avenger SS has become more popular than the mold that inspired it. The Discraft Avenger SS is the perfect disc for intermediate players who want more distance with their backhand throws. This understable disc is fast, but doesn’t require much speed for max distance. Watch this disc turn, glide, and go farther than any other driver in your bag. Discraft gives the Avenger SS a stability rating of .5.

Thrasher
The Thrasher is a very fast and understable disc. It is important to know that this mold is not flippy, allowing huge distance from slower arms, and yet is still completely big-arm friendly. It will finish on a slow hyzer in most situations, so expect some clean anhyzers out of this disc. This mold is a great choice for most any skilled player

Katana
The Katana is an amazing high-speed distance driver with major turn and fade. The Katana will move through the air like no other disc. This speed-13 driver has an incredible degree of high-speed turn (3) followed by major low-speed fade (3).

Nuke SS
The Nuke SS is the “super straight” version of the popular Nuke driver. While this maximum distance driver has an extra wide 2.5 cm rim and is still very fast, it can be thrown by less experienced players. The Nuke SS has a high degree of high speed turn that is followed by an equally high degree of low speed fade. The flight path of the Nuke SS is fairly similar to the Innova Katana. If you like discs with thick wing length, you’ll love the distance you can get from the Nuke SS. The Nuke SS can be purchased in the highly durable Z-line, or premium Titanium plastics. If you want to add some style, you can get this disc in dyed plastic as well. For night play, this disc is available in Z glow.

Vanish
The Vanish is a straight to understable disc depending on the thrower and wind conditions. The Vanish’s stability profile places it near a threshold of being straight at low power or in tailwinds, and controllably understable at high power or in mild headwinds. As a 21mm class GYRO™ driver, the Vanish is designed to hit a midpoint of stability between two MVP Disc Sports models, the Wave and Orbital.
