Quick Verdict
The Truth is a genuine Buzzz competitor — same neutral-to-slight-overstable stability, but with 5 glide instead of 4. It flies slightly further on equivalent throws and the Lucid plastic feels exceptional in the hand. If you've only ever thrown a Buzzz for your midrange slot, throw a Truth and you might be surprised which one stays in your bag.
Flight Numbers
5 / 5 / 0 / 1 — the 5 glide is the standout number. Most midranges at this stability are 4 glide. The extra carry is real and noticeable on long approach shots.

5 Glide Changes the Midrange
Most neutral midranges hover around 4 glide. The Truth's 5 glide means it stays in the air longer on equivalent releases — which translates to more distance on approach shots and more margin for error on long putts.
The practical difference is noticeable at 70m+, where the Truth covers the gap where a Buzzz starts dropping. Players who've found their midrange running short on longer approach shots should try a higher-glide option before upgrading to a fairway driver.
Lucid Plastic: Dynamic Discs at Their Best
Dynamic Discs' Lucid plastic is their premium baseline — translucent, durable, and grippy in wet conditions. It maintains the disc's flight characteristics for a long time and resists warping.
The feel in the hand is comparable to Discraft's ESP or Innova's Star — structured enough to grip cleanly, flexible enough to absorb impact. It's one of the better plastics in the game at the Lucid price point.
"The name is honest. It tells you exactly what your throw looked like — no excuses, no surprises."
The Honest Feedback Loop
The Truth's neutral flight means it amplifies both good and bad releases. A clean flat release goes straight and glides to the target. A slight hyzer bends left and fades. A slight anhyzer turns right.
That responsiveness is a teaching tool — players who throw the Truth consistently learn their release angles faster than players who rely on overstable discs to self-correct. The disc tells you the truth about your throw, which is either encouraging or humbling depending on the day.
Who It's For
- Intermediate players: A step up from the Buzzz that rewards improving technique. The extra glide covers for arm speed deficits; the neutral flight rewards a cleaner release.
- Buzzz players wanting an alternative: Same stability profile, noticeably more glide. Worth having both — the Buzzz for precision, the Truth for distance.
- Players wanting honest feedback: The neutral flight doesn't hide bad technique. Players who want to improve their release consistency should add a neutral midrange to their practice bag.

Final Verdict
The Truth is one of the most underrated midranges in disc golf. It competes directly with the Buzzz on every metric and beats it on glide. Lucid plastic keeps the flight honest for seasons.
Players who've only thrown Discraft midranges owe it to themselves to throw a Truth — it might change which midrange gets the permanent bag spot.
