Why You Need the Beast
Distance for Everyone: If you find 12 or 13-speed drivers are crashing left too early, the Beast is your solution. It stays straighter for longer.
Versatility: It excels at long-distance hyzer-flips, towering tailwind drives, and even controlled rollers once seasoned.
Ergonomic Grip: The smaller rim compared to "Max Distance" drivers makes it easier to release cleanly, reducing grip-lock and increasing accuracy.
Pro Tip: The Beast is a fantastic "first distance driver" for players graduating from mid-ranges and fairway drivers. It teaches you how to utilize a disc's natural turn to maximize distance.
