About this particular run
Flight-wise, you can expect the kind of uncompromising control that's characteristic to all of our current production MD5's. These MF MD5's fly consistently overstable with just a bit of high speed glide that adds range to your midrange game.
The profile on these is very similar to the 2023 Prototype run, with the exception of maybe just a hair more dome on certain colors (white in particular, though exceptions are possible - we haven't done 1:1 comparisons on each and every disc from this batch). Don't read that as these would be domey, though - That's by no means the case. Pretty much all MD5's have a very flat flight plate, these even moreso than some others, but there can be some very minimal differences in the overall roundness of the top of the shoulder / flight plate shape while still fitting to the definition of flat.
Feel-wise, you can expect the highly ergonomic, beadless and buttery feel you find on most MD5's that allows a smooth release every time, no matter how you prefer to grip the disc. Stiffness is on par with the 2023 run and despite being ultra durable, the grip feels sturdy and natural - Like an extension of your arm.
About the MD5 in general
The MD5 was our first true overstable midrange and has been a fan favorite in our line up. If you’re looking to get your hands on a trustworthy approach disc, this is the place to start. Famous for its overstable and accurate flight, the MD5 has a place in everyone’s bag as an overstable workhorse that you can count on when it matters the most.
This product represents the reinvented, beadless version of the MD5. We like to think this mold is among the very best we've produced in Europe to date. Compared to the beaded MD5's made during the time of our US-based production, these discs have a more ergonomic feel, generally a flatter profile and a longer range. They still pack tons of overstability, but the fade is more forward-pushing than dumpy, which make this disc for a more versatile choice than ever.
The MD5 is a great foundation to build your approach game, as its dependable overstable flight ensures it's the one disc you'll reach for over and over again in various situations.
Good for: Overstable approach shots, flex shots, sidearm shots, advanced and pro players alike.
