Archangel
Innova fairway driver
Simulated flight at four arm speeds
Each row is one throw in the DGFV flight model at one of the free tool's skill presets (Rec, Int, Adv, Pro): a new Star Archangel at 175 g, thrown flat, right hand backhand, no wind.
| Skill preset | Speed | Carry | Peak height | Lands | 3D |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rec | 54 mph | 201 ft (61 m) | 6 ft | 26 ft right | Throw |
| Int | 61 mph | 310 ft (95 m) | 11 ft | 67 ft right | Throw |
| Adv | 64 mph | 365 ft (111 m) | 16 ft | 100 ft right | Throw |
| Pro | 70 mph | 426 ft (130 m) | 19 ft | 104 ft right | Throw |
Seen from above, thrower on the left. The side-to-side scale is stretched 0.8 times so the curve is visible.
What the simulation shows
- It turns at every arm speed here, drifting up to 26 ft right at Rec and 104 ft right at Pro.
- At Pro it is still moving right when it lands, so the fade never pulls it back.
- At Adv it lands 100 ft right; at Pro, 104 ft right.
- Going from Rec to Pro adds 225 ft of carry (201 ft to 426 ft).
- At Adv its carry ranks 155 of 348 fairway drivers in the catalogue, and 8 of 23 Innova fairway drivers.
Discs with similar numbers
The three catalogue molds closest to Archangel on speed, glide, turn and fade without being identical, thrown the same way at Adv (64 mph), each in the plastic the free tool picks first for its maker.
| Disc | Numbers | Carry | vs Archangel | Lands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F9 Prodigy | 8 / 6 / -4 / 0.5 | 363 ft | -2 ft | 97 ft right |
| Gou Yikun | 8 / 5 / -3.5 / 1 | 349 ft | -16 ft | 80 ft right |
| Onyx Vibram | 8 / 6 / -3 / 1 | 388 ft | +23 ft | 103 ft right |
One other mold carries exactly the same numbers and flies the same line in the simulator: Function (Discmania).

How these numbers were made
Flight numbers are the ratings carried in the DGFV disc catalogue. Distances, heights and paths come from the same flight model the free tool runs, simulated on 2026-10-31: skill preset power, nose angle and spin, automatic launch angle, no wind, ground play off, so carry is where the disc first lands. Real throws vary with form, plastic, weight and weather. DGFV is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Innova.
