Skip shots: The overstable bite can be used for creative skip shots off obstacles or for bouncing approaches onto the green.
Control and Precision:
Despite its overstability, the MX-1 maintains a surprisingly straight initial flight. This, combined with its moderate glide of 3.0, makes it ideal for:
Tight tunnel shots: Navigate narrow corridors with confidence, knowing the disc won't turn over unexpectedly.
Precision approaches: Hit your lines with laser accuracy, thanks to the predictable fade and controlled flight path.
Upshots around obstacles: The MX-1 can carve around trees and other hazards with confidence, ensuring your disc lands close to the basket.
The MX-1 features a comfortable rim depth and rounded profile, making it easy to grip and release for a variety of throwing styles.
