The Discmania MD2 is a 4-speed slightly overstable midrange. With published flight numbers of 4 / 5 / 0 / 2, it is most often described as suited for hyzer and anhyzer lines that must hold their angle to the end, straight midrange drives with a dependable fade finish.

Overview

The Discmania MD2 'Fiend' is a stable midrange with flight numbers of 4 / 5 / 0 / 2.[1] Discmania calls it 'a true throwers disc' — its defining trait is that it holds whatever angle it is given, hyzer or anhyzer, and straight shots stay straight when thrown with enough spin.[1] PDGA specs list a 21.7 cm diameter, 2.0 cm height, 1.4 cm rim width, and a 180.1 g maximum weight.[2] The MD2 has now been discontinued; Discmania points players toward the Maestro and MD3 as its closest current relatives.[1]

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 MD2 covers the classic all-purpose midrange slot: tight and long fairway shots, medium-range drives, and really long approaches.[1] Its zero turn and moderate fade make it a dependable angle-holding disc for both hyzer and anhyzer lines, and its versatility across skill levels — from recreational players to touring pros — was a cornerstone of its success.[1][4] Baseline D-Line runs offer the classic worked-in feel, while premium C-Line and S-Line runs keep the stock flight far longer.[3][4]

Best for:

  • Hyzer and anhyzer lines that must hold their angle to the end
  • Straight midrange drives with a dependable fade finish
  • Tight, long fairway shots through woods
  • Long approach shots in the 200–300ft range

Plastics & variants

The MD2 is available in the following plastic blends from Discmania:[1]

C-Line, D-Line, P-Line, S-Line

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 MD2 was PDGA-approved on April 4, 2010 under the name 'Fiend' (certification 10-05),[2] during the era when Discmania's discs were manufactured by Innova in California. It became one of the Finnish brand's signature molds — an acclaimed classic found in bags across every skill level.[1] It was produced over the years in Discmania's C-Line, D-Line, P-Line, and S-Line plastics.[3][4] Following Discmania's split from Innova manufacturing, the MD2 was eventually discontinued; the company's official page now recommends the Maestro and the MD3 for players seeking a similar flight.[1]
