Best Disc Golf Discs for Forehand Throwers 2026

Best forehand driver — the overstable workhorse that handles the sidearm release

The natural forehand release puts a slight anhyzer on the disc — it tilts away from you as you release. For understable or neutral discs, that means they flip and turn right, then crash. The Firebird's 0 turn and 4 fade eliminate that problem: it absorbs the anhyzer and still fades left reliably. It's the disc every forehand player builds their game around.

Best for: Intermediate and advanced forehand throwers

Best forehand distance driver — power and stability for big forehand throws

When you have the arm speed to push a speed 12, the Force delivers maximum forehand distance. The 0 turn means it won't flip regardless of the anhyzer angle you put on it, and the 3 fade gives you a strong, predictable left finish. ESP plastic survives the torque of a powerful sidearm throw better than most blends. This is the disc Paul McBeth won five world titles with — including on forehand lines.

Best for: Advanced forehand throwers (90m+)

Best forehand putter — maximum fade on approach

Forehand approach shots are some of the most precise in disc golf — and they need a disc that fades predictably regardless of release angle. The Berg's 3 fade and 0 turn make it perfect for forehand spike hyzers, forehand approaches with a guaranteed left finish, and any shot where the basket is tucked left and you're throwing sidearm. K1 plastic also survives repeated forehand rim contact without warping.

Best for: All forehand throwers needing a reliable approach disc

Best all-around forehand fairway — slight overstability for versatile sidearm lines

The Undertaker is slightly more forgiving than the Firebird on forehand — the -1 turn gives you a longer straight phase before the 2 fade kicks in. For forehand throwers who want more distance than the Firebird provides without the full commitment of a distance driver, the Undertaker is the right call. It handles the natural anhyzer without flipping while covering more ground.

Best for: Intermediate and advanced forehand throwers

Best classic forehand fairway — decades of proven sidearm performance

Lower arm speed forehand throwers often get more distance out of a speed 7 disc than a speed 9, because they can activate the full flight. The Teebird's 0 turn handles forehand release angles without flipping, and the 2 fade is reliable but not aggressive — giving you a controlled left finish rather than a hard snap. Star or Champion plastic survives repeated forehand throws without deforming.

Best for: All forehand throwers wanting a controlled, accurate sidearm line
