The Wraith is a speed 11 disc that has a flight similar to some of the other top discs on the list. Taking second is the Infinite Discs Emperor, followed by the most popular driver of all time, the Innova Destroyer.

Top Rated Drivers
We’ve looked at the sales data for the top distance drivers, and now we’ll look at the top RATED discs. The infinite discs website allows customers to leave feedback and ratings on discs and accessories, and is a good resource for finding highly rated disc products. Let’s look at some of the distance drivers with the highest ratings.
Highest Rated Distance Drivers
Taking the number one spot with the highest consumer rating for 
distance drivers is Infinite Discs’ popular high-speed driver, the Emperor. The speed 12 driver has a popular flight that features a little turn with a reliable solid fade. It is available in numerous plastic types. It is also the signature disc of some of the top pros. The Emperor has a 4.95 rating out of 5. Nearly perfect!
Two discs tied for the second place spot, both with an average rating of 4.74 out of five, are the Innova Wraith and the Infinite Discs Pharaoh.

Highest Rated Overstable Distance Drivers
Since the Emperor is considered an overstable driver and is the highest rated driver, it is obviously going to be the highest rated overstable driver. Since we talked about the Emperor above, let’s explore the next-best rated disc. In second place with 4.76 stars out of five is Discraft’s Raptor. The popular Raptor is a great disc for headwinds, or when you need a strong fade at the end of its flight. It is also the signature disc of several pros. The third highest rated overstable distance driver is the Innova Wraith, rated at 4.75 out of five.

Highest Rated Understable Disc Golf Driver
Looking at the other end of the stability spectrum we 
have the highest rated understable drivers. Topping the list are discs from Infinite, Axiom, and Lone Star Disc. The currently highest-rated disc is the Infinite Discs Sphinx. Currently with a 4.85 rating, the Sphinx is a great understable disc that comes in a variety of plastic types. With its understability the Sphinx is capable of giant turnover shots for some crushing drives. Or it can pick up some long distances on the ground as a roller.
The next two molds on the understable list, the Axiom Insanity and the Lone Star Disc Mockingbird, are tied at an impressive rating of 4.79.

Favorite distance driver in the bag right now is the shyrke.
Wraith is the fav for more stable disc Understable I still use an eagle.
I think the Climo Skyway is going to be a hit. Only thrown for a few rounds but it flies pretty consistent.
My favorite distance driver in my bag is the Fission Time Lapse.
My favorite over stable distance driver in my bag is the Trace.
For next year, I think the Destroyer will come back to the first spot.
1 – What is your favorite distance driver?
Discraft raptor

OS: raptor, US: tern

Probably a Zeus or a Force
1 – What is your favorite distance driver?
Viking Ragnorok (Viking-air)
2 – What is your favorite over/understable distance driver?
Doomsday Pestilence and MVP Dimension
3 – What do you think will be the best distance driver for next year? Innova Wraith again.
A really underrated distance driver is the MVP octane. For AMs, it’s the perfect mix of speed, glide, and slight stability. A beat up one and a new overtable one cover most of my distance shots and consistently give me 400 ft!
I have three favorite distance drivers: Innova Mystere, Innova Mamba, MVP Trail.
The Mamba is the best understable driver around. I have one in my bag that has lasted a decade, and is the most predictable disc in my bag.
The Mystere is my go to driver. It is more stable and doesn’t turn over as easily as the Mamba.
The Trail is simply easy to throw and is perfectly straight in flight.
Used to through the legacy rival a lot, it was just floppy enough to get it out on buzzer and it would flip up to dead straight. Unfortunately had some discs stolen so lost the broken in one. The insanity is quickly taken the place of that rival and the trace by streamline has become my go to for longer shots. Super excited to try some clash discs, like the wild honey and the spice!
1- overall favorite is my Innova Boss
2- I love my ESP Thrasher for understable
3- I think my Cloudbreaker is growing on me and will be great for me this year
