Alden Harris introduces his first Signature Series disc in the Discmania family with Solar Flare Horizon FD3! This beefy behemoth is one that players can “tusk” most to get the job done, even in the harshest conditions they face. Grab yourself a stack today and get that boost of fiery confidence your fairway lines deserve.
Key points:
Higher dome than most of the previous FD3 runs. Closest comparison to Doom Bird 4
Plenty of glide, relatively beefy and consistent flight path like you would expect in an FD3
This iconic disc has shaped the entire Discmania line to what we all know and love today. The FD3 is our true workhorse fairway driver. Featuring a low profile, blunt nose, and concave inner rim, this disc features just the right amount of overstability to get things done. It can be trusted to handle high amounts of wind, forehand shots, thumber/tomahawk, and snappy backhand throws from even the strongest arms. Every player needs one of these in the bag for its sheer reliability and durability.
What is Horizon plastic?
Horizon plastic is a highly durable and grippy plastic in a striking two-color combination. It will always feature two distinct and beautiful color blends between the rim of the disc and the interior. Our experts behind the machines have taken careful measures to make sure that each interior and exterior color match in the best ways possible.

The most affordable plastic in our Originals line. D-line offers great grip and D-line discs can be cycled through your bag in different stabilities as they beat in. The D-line plastic comes in 3 different flexes. Flex 1 is the softest, Flex 2 is our medium stiffness and Flex 3 is the stiffest D-line plastic.
C-LINE
Our most durable plastic – these discs wear down very slowly. C-Line discs retain original flight characteristics for an extended period of time. Whether used in heavily wooded situations, or on extremely rugged courses, the C-Line plastic will continue to perform predictably and avoid damage better than any other plastic. Good grip and showstopper see-through look. Typically the most stable blend of plastic in our line.
S-LINE
Excellent grip in all weather conditions with great durability. This plastic ages well, which means that your disc doesn’t change drastically in its flight behaviour after a couple of collisions with trees.

GLOW C-LINE
The Glow C-line discs come from a very durable blend of C-line plastic that glows in the dark. Currently only reserved for fundraising projects & specialty discs.

Glowing version of the D-line plastic. It adds glowing properties to the disc.

Much like the Glow C-line plastic, the Color Glow C-line discs are very durable and glow in the dark. What makes the difference is that they glow in different colors, depending on the color of the disc.
METAL FLAKE C-LINE
The Metal Flake C-line is normal C-line plastic with little metal flakes within the plastic. It may change the flight characteristics depending on the mold but the durability and feel are exactly the same. The metal flakes make plastic colors pop, but still allows the plastic to be transparent.

Swirl D-Line plastic has nearly identical grip and durability compared to normal D-Line but will have a variety of two or more colors mixed throughout, ranging from subtle hues to more vibrant contrasting patterns.
SWIRL S-LINE
The Swirl S-line plastic is one of the most sought after plastics in Discmania’s line up. Swirl S-line plastic is a mix of colors usually displaying one of the majestic discs you have ever seen. When it comes to grip and durability, it has the same consistency as normal S-line plastic, but they are so much fun to show off to other players. Perfect for all players alike.
SPECIAL BLEND S-LINE
Special blend S-line has been featured in a few different signature/creator releases. Special blend S-line is as the name states, a special blend of S-line plastic that is not currently used in regular S-line releases.

HORIZON
Horizon plastic is an S-Line combo containing two strikingly different color variations. Our experts behind the machines have taken careful measures to make sure that each interior and exterior color way is perfectly matched.

META
The Meta plastic is a beautiful, pearly and extremely durable blend. Compared to Neo and Lux plastics, the Meta plastic is slightly more stable. The iridescent qualities of Meta plastic will make the disc change colors in any lighting condition when tilted at different angles, making it an even more unique experience.
VAPOR
Vapor plastic has strong color bursts and is combined with our Lux or Exo plastic depending on the special release.
LUMEN
Lumen plastic has glowing properties and it has been featured in some special releases in Exo plastic.
EXTRA SOFT EXO
Extra soft exo plastic is even softer than the standard Soft Exo plastic. This gummy and extremely grippy plastic is a fantastic choice for putters and approach discs that you want to settle on the ground on approaches and stick to the chains when putting.
DISCMANIA ACTIVE
ACTIVE
Active plastic is the base level plastic, available in all products. This solid plastic blend offers a great grip in all weather conditions. Wears gradually.

LADYLINE
A very special plastic blend designed especially for the ladies. The LadyLine discs are extremely flexy and grippy and endure collision very well. All LadyLine discs tend to feature a great glide that carries the disc forward even with very low speeds. All discs molded with LadyLine plastic come in pink color. You don't have to be a Lady to throw a LadyLine disc - these discs are also great for beginners!
SG-LINE
Softer version of S-line. This was a test run, used only in MD1′s a some years ago. Currently discontinued, but still available in limited quantities.
P-LINE
Great feel and added glide. Easily one of the grippiest plastic type out there. Reveals new features in your disc when worn down. Typically a bit more understable plastic type compared to S- and C-line. Please note: P-line putters (P1 & P2) have their own blend of P-line plastic. The P-line P1 is features a soft & grippy blend of plastic, while the P-line P2 comes with very firm plastic blend that many Pro players prefer for their putters.
X-LINE
X-line is absolutely the best choice of plastic for wet and cold weather conditions. This plastic blend has a very organic feel and probably the best grip out of any plastic material.
G-LINE
The G-line is a modified version of our popular S-line version that provides great grip, durability and shock-absorbance. It's a flexy plastic blend with an unique look and added glide compared to the S-line plastic.
BLIZZARD C-LINE
Blizzard C-line is a unique blend of our durable C-line material that employs microscopic air bubbles inside the rim of the disc, allowing the production of high speed drivers in very low weights. With lower weights you can gain more distance to your throw with less effort. The lighter the disc is, the more bubbles go inside the rim, so the very lightest of weights don't necessarily endure collision as well as higher weights.
LUSTER C-LINE
The Luster C-line plastic is a fantastic twist on the normal C-line plastic. It has the exact same durability as C-line but packs a punch when it comes to the overall look of the disc. Luster C-line plastic is typically a little more opaque and if lucky, they can have some color bursts in the flight plate. The grip is the same but may change the flight characteristics of the disc depending on the mold.
SHIMMER S-LINE
The Shimmer S-line Plastic is a unique blend of normal s-line plastic and various metallic additives. This feature gives the disc more of a natural essence. It has a similar feel to the S-line plastic.
