I went to Gotta Go Throw with a wishlist of one disc: Piwakawaka (of course I left with another 5 discs!) I saw the Pieakawaka online on RPM website and I was so interested in the understable midrange. When I put the disc in my cart, with the international shipping it was looking to be 50 some dollars. I couldn’t swing that, so I ended up not doing it that day. I later saw Gotta Go Throw was right in MN and near me! AND Had this in stock! I bought it. It’s winter so I’ve only had a couple times to throw. So far, it is understable, it basically does the opposite of what you think it will do (compared to stable/ overstable) That said, it is what I want. There are some hook shots and other holes that I want a fairly straight line but want the fade to be away from the hazard or the clearing. I’ve also found with a bit of hyzer this just goes dead straight! So for sure one I’ll have in my bag for utilities. I’m not completely used to it so far, but loving what I got!

There are some hook shots and other holes that I want a fairly straight line but want the slight fade it gets to go away from the hazard or whatever I want to miss. That said, the fade is not much which is great! I’ve also found with a bit of hyzer this just goes dead straight! So for sure one I’ll have in my bag for utilities.

Oh my! This disc is incredible! I have no idea how I felt comfortable with my bag before having a Piwakawaka or 2 in it! I am currently bagging one Cosmic and one Strata. The Cosmic Piwak is insanely straight. I know it sounds like I am just hyping the brand up but I have literally NEVER seen a disc fly like this one. You throw it soft on a little bit of hyzer and once it flips up to flat, it literally never deviates from that line. I have thrown a lot of discs that fly fairly straight for me but I have never seen one like this. The Piwak seems to glide until it runs out of spin instead of dumping down at the very tail end of the flight. You could literally be 200′ – 250′ out from someone throwing this disc and literally catch it in the air as it slows down at the end of its flight. I have yet to see another disc that does that and I work at a DG shop so I have thrown a ton of different molds. This disc is so perfect for hitting straight lines and small gaps. My Strata Piwakawaka is more understable than the Cosmic as expected with it being a baseline plastic. I would consider Strata to be more like a stiff KC Pro rather than a bottom of the line base plastic like DX. This thing has hit it’s fair share of trees and there are really no major chunks or gashes in it. I am a left handed player and I absolutely love taking out my Stata Piwak on a right to left turning hole. I put it on a slight hyzer and throw it soft and it will stand up and then start turning over. If I throw it just right it will just turn, turn, turn, instead of the normal turn and burn you get out of stable to understable mids. This disc has literally changed my game. In addition to it working out great for an intermediate level player like myself, this would be the absolute best disc in the entire disc golf market to put into a child or beginners hands. They will able to actually see a good straight flight out of this thing within the first round of disc golf. You can’t tell me we didn’t all want that during our first rounds. Grab yourself a couple Piwakawakas and I promise you won’t be disappointed. The last thing I would like to say before closing out my review on the Piwakawaka is GLIDE, GLIDE, GLIDE!!!!
