NERF Soft Flight Driver - Lightweight Distance Driver

The NERF Soft Flight Driver is a PDGA-approved distance driver designed to deliver easy distance, impressive glide and controlled shot shaping. As part of the NERF Soft Flight range, it combines authentic disc golf flight with a lightweight foam construction that makes the game more accessible and enjoyable for players of all ages.

Type & Recommended Use
This is a distance driver built for long throws, open fairways and players looking to develop their driving game. While beginner-friendly in design, it performs best when thrown with sufficient speed to unlock its full distance potential.

Flight Characteristics

• Speed 9 - Fast enough for distance while remaining manageable
• Glide 4 - Reliable carry with controlled forward movement
• Turn -2 - Gentle high-speed turn for shaping lines
• Fade 2 - Dependable finish with moderate stability

Slightly understable with a flight that can hyzer-flip, drift gently right on a backhand throw and finish with a predictable fade.

Material & Feel - Patented Soft Foam
Made from NERF's patented soft foam material, the Soft Flight Driver offers a safer alternative to traditional hard plastic distance drivers. Out of the box, the surface may feel slightly slippery, but the foam develops noticeably more grip as the disc is used. At approximately 100 grams, it is significantly lighter than conventional disc golf drivers and even floats on water.

Player Skill Level

• Beginners: A fun introduction to distance drivers, though slower discs may provide more distance initially
• Intermediate: Excellent for developing hyzer-flips and controlled distance lines
• Advanced: Useful for shaping shots, casual rounds and teaching newer players

Pro Insight
According to Lars Somby from Krokhol Disc Golf Shop, the Soft Flight Driver benefits from a bit of arm speed before it truly starts pushing down the fairway. While it is accessible to newer players, complete beginners will often achieve greater distance with the NERF Soft Flight Midrange. Lars also notes that the Driver handles torque and moderate headwinds well, making it more dependable than many lightweight discs in challenging conditions.

Fun Fact
Like all discs in the NERF Soft Flight line-up, the Driver weighs around 100 grams and is light enough to float on water, making it ideal for casual rounds near lakes, rivers and parks.

Perfect for players looking to add easy distance and reliable control to their game while enjoying the safety and versatility of NERF Soft Flight technology.
