The Doomsday Discs Ice Age is a 7-speed overstable fairway driver. With published flight numbers of 7 / 4 / 0 / 3, it is most often described as suited for overstable fairway control, forehand drives.
Overview
The Doomsday Discs Ice Age is a 7/4/0/3 overstable fairway (control) driver that handles power without turning over and always finishes with a noticeable fade.[1] Its flat top and relatively deep rim give a comfortable, snappy release that forehand throwers favor.[1]
Flight characteristics
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.
Recommended uses
The Ice Age is a dependable overstable fairway driver for windy conditions, forehand drives, and shots that need a predictable fade to finish left (for a RHBH thrower).[1] It resists turn even on powerful throws, making it a control-and-placement disc rather than a distance bomber. It fills the same role as an Innova Teebird run a touch more overstable. Produced in Doomsday's premium waste-themed plastics.[1]
Best for:
- Overstable fairway control
- Forehand drives
- Headwind shots
- Reliable fade around obstacles
Community notes — how players actually use this disc
Plastics & variants
The Ice Age is available in the following plastic blends from Doomsday Discs:
Toxic Waste, Biohazard, Radioactive Waste, Landfill
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 Ice Age has been a recurring overstable staple in the Doomsday catalog, with reviewer numbers (about 7/4/0/3.2) matching the factory rating.[1] Doomsday Discs is an apocalypse-themed brand carried largely through Infinite Discs.[1][2]
