The Aftershock is a solid overstable disc in the DGA lineup. While not quite as overstable as the Shockwave, the Aftershock still offers a consistent and predictable fading flight path while also providing more distance. This midrange can handle powerful throws and will keep its line for almost the entire flight path. The disc features a microbead, increasing the stability slightly and offering more durability.

The DGA Avalanche is a flat-topped overstable disc that offers reliable fade and resists high-speed turn, making it a great choice for any player looking for an accurate and predictable flight. Its low-profile rim ensures a comfortable grip and effortless release for both backhand and forehand throwers, making it an excellent addition to any disc golf bag.

The Banzai is said to be the overstable counterpart to the popular Pipeline. (Both disc names are derived from the iconic Hawaiian surf break, the Banzai Pipeline.) The Banzai is a fairway driver with speed, glide, and the stability you need in a trustworthy disc. This disc has a very straight flight, with a predictable fade at the end. Perfect for backhand or forehand drives, this disc will do it all!
