The Dynamic Discs EMAC Truth is a 5-speed stable midrange. With published flight numbers of 5 / 5 / 0 / 2, it is most often described as suited for straight, controlled midrange shots that hold their line, point-and-shoot approaches inside 300 feet.

Overview

The Dynamic Discs EMAC Truth is the signature midrange of 2010 PDGA World Champion Eric McCabe, with manufacturer flight numbers of 5 / 5 / 0 / 2.[1][3] It is a retooled, more precise version of the original Truth, offering a neutral-to-slightly-overstable flight that holds straight lines and finishes with a dependable, modest fade.[1][3] Reviewers describe it as one of the most trusted all-purpose control midranges, comfortable on hyzers, flat shots, and gentle anhyzers alike.[3][4] The flat-topped, beadless profile gives it an easy-to-control workhorse feel for tunnel shots and approaches at a wide range of arm speeds.[3][4]

Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.

The EMAC Truth excels at controlled straight midrange shots, point-and-shoot approaches, and gentle hyzer or anhyzer lines that need to hold their angle.[1][3] Its neutral stability rewards smooth power, finishing with a soft fade rather than a hard hook.[3] Prime is the affordable baseline blend; BioFuzion and Fuzion add durability and grip; Lucid and Lucid-X are the premium translucent runs that hold their flight longer, while Moonshine offers a glow option.[1][4] It is forgiving enough for intermediates yet precise enough for advanced players.[3]

Best for:

  • Straight, controlled midrange shots that hold their line
  • Point-and-shoot approaches inside 300 feet
  • Gentle hyzer and anhyzer lines that need to hold their angle
  • Tunnel shots requiring precise, low-fade flight
  • Reliable upshots with a soft, predictable finish

Plastics & variants

The EMAC Truth is available in the following plastic blends from Dynamic Discs:[1]

Prime, BioFuzion, Fuzion, Lucid, Lucid-X, Moonshine

Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.

History

The EMAC Truth was PDGA-approved on March 21, 2016 (certification 16-25).[2] It is the signature midrange of Eric McCabe, the 2010 PDGA World Champion and one of Dynamic Discs' original team players, and was designed as a refined successor to the original Dynamic Discs Truth.[1][4] McCabe worked with the brand to give the mold a flatter, more controllable profile and a touch more stability than the first Truth, aiming for a do-everything midrange that could hold any line.[1][4] Since release it has become one of Dynamic Discs' most popular and recommended midranges, frequently cited alongside the Discraft Buzzz and Innova Roc as a benchmark neutral mid.[3][4] It is produced across Dynamic Discs' full plastic range, from baseline Prime up through premium Lucid blends, and remains a staple in the brand's lineup.[1]
