Best Forehand Discs

By Dr. Death

When everything else fails—the weather, your nerves, the last brittle strands of civilization—the forehand does not. It is the cut you make when there’s no room to breathe, the throw you trust when the line is narrow and the wind is hostile. Sidearm mechanics punish hesitation and reward discipline. If you plan to survive the course and the collapse, you will master a forehand that leaves nothing to chance.

Choosing the wrong disc for a forehand is how you learn about chaos the hard way: early turn, accidental roll, glide when you needed obedience. The right molds make the throw honest—flat out of the hand, predictable in the air, and final at the ground. Below are the tools I issue to survivors. They are selected for stability profiles that don’t lie, rims that exit cleanly, and flights I’ve watched hold lines in weather that chews up the weak. These are the best discs for your sidearm survival.

Forehand Putters & Approach

Area 51

Low profile. Flat top. Honest stability. The Area 51 leaves the fingers without wobble and flies on the angle you set, then finishes with a sober, late fade. Use it for forehand chips, headwind reliability, and short escapes where you can’t afford drama. 

Cyber Putter

The Cyber Putter is blunt and stern. It accepts torque, tracks flat under pressure, and then drops the curtain with a controlled dump. When an obstacle demands a forced sidearm lane yest still a striaght flight, this is the putter that obeys. Expect clean exits and landings that mind their business.

Forehand Midranges

Crisis

The name is not a metaphor. Crisis is an overstable mid built to take sidearm violence without folding. Point it at trouble, rip, and let the finish clear the scene. It resists turn in wind, holds its height, and plants with authority—exactly what a forehand approach should do when stakes are high.

Scope

When a straight forehand must stay straight, use Scope. It rides the release angle with minimal drift and a modest, tidy finish. The rim seats cleanly for sidearm grips—no fight, no fuss. Think of it as a measured exhale across a narrow corridor.

Forehand Drivers

Psyop

Psyop is flat on top and understable by design. That combination turns a forehand hyzer flip into a dead-straight flight—clean flip, honest carry, calm finish. It gives sidearm consistency to arms that don’t live in the gym and line-shaping control to those that do. Use it when the corridor is narrow and mercy is short.

Ice Age

For overstable control where you need certainty, choose Ice Age. It takes forehand torque, tracks long enough to matter, then makes the left turn like a closing door. Headwinds don’t negotiate with it. Neither do I.

Plague

When distance is the only language left, throw Plague. It offers speed and carry with a finishing bite that keeps the line intact. Sidearm bombs are supposed to look inevitable—this one makes them so.

Loadout Summary

Approach and placement: Crisis (overstable), Scope (straight).
Drivers: Psyop (understable hyzer-flip control), Ice Age (overstable control), Plague (distance).

Pick your tools with care. The course is indifferent. I am not.
