Short answer: left-handers don’t need special molds—discs are round. What changes is the shape of your shot. A LHBH (left-hand backhand) naturally drifts and finishes to the right, while a RHBH finishes left. So the best “lefty discs” are really the molds that give you easy turn, workable glide, and predictable finishes for those mirrored lines.
Below are my favorite, proven discs for left-handed players in 2025. I’ve tossed these, compared notes with other lefties, and focused on options that are actually easy to bag.

Putters for Lefties
Discmania D-Line Flex 2 P2
Why lefties like it: point-and-shoot stability with a gentle, reliable finish on approaches. Great in wind, grippy in bad weather, and money inside the circle.
- Flight: 2 | 3 | 0 | 1 (stable)
- Profile: beadless, medium-flex D-Line Flex 2
- Use it for: straight putts, headwind putts, firm approach hyzers that finish right on LHBH
Discmania P1X
Beaded, super-straight putter with that comfy round nose feel. It tracks dead straight on spin putts and stays on line for touchy approaches. It’s currently out of production; grab one when you see it.
- Flight: 2 | 3 | 0 | 1
- Profile: beaded, straight flyer
- Use it for: laser putts and flat, minimal-fade approaches
Midranges for Lefties
Discraft Buzzz
The all-time neutral mid. Holds whatever line you put on it—straight, hyzer, or anhyzer—and finishes gently. Perfect for building confidence in mirrored lefty fairways.
- Flight: 5 | 4 | −1 | 1 (stable)
- Use it for: dead-straight LHBH lasers or slight drifting turnovers
Discraft Meteor
Understable mid with effortless flip and tons of glide. For lefties, it stands up, turns, and goes—awesome in the woods and for shaping soft drifting lines to the right (LHBH).
- Flight: 5 | 5 | −3 | 1 (understable)
- Use it for: hyzer-flips, controlled turnovers, late-turn gap hitting
Discmania Method
Workhorse overstable mid that still carries. It’ll hold a hyzer and finish strong to the right on LHBH, or power forehand without wobble.
- Flight: 5 | 5 | 0 | 3 (overstable)
- Use it for: wind, forced hyzers, dependable fades and forehands
Fairway & Easy Distance for Lefties
Westside Hatchet
Understable fairway that makes hyzer-flip distance easy for slower to average arms. Smooth turn, minimal fade—great “get-going” driver for lefties.
- Flight: 9 | 6 | −2 | 1 (understable)
- Use it for: effortless hyzer-flips, turnover placement shots, rollers (for advanced arms)
Innova DX Leopard
Classic straight fairway with easy turn. If you’re building form as a lefty, a DX Leopard teaches angle control fast—and it’s budget-friendly.
- Flight: 6 | 5 | −2 | 1 (understable)
- Use it for: hyzer-flips, gentle turnovers, beginner rollers
Westside Underworld
Low-effort turn with huge glide. For LHBH, it flips, rides right, and lands soft. One of the easiest discs to shape creative lines with.
- Flight: 7 | 6 | −3 | 1 (understable)
- Use it for: touch turnovers, tunnel shots, teaching flip timing
Legacy Icon Patriot
Straight-to-turning fairway that covers a lot of lines. In Icon plastic it feels premium and stays workable—money for lefty woods golf.
- Flight: 7 | 5 | −2 | 1 (understable/neutral)
- Use it for: straight woods drives, late-turn line hits
Discmania Instinct
Stable fairway with a confident, late fade. Great for LHBH shots that need to hold straight and finish right, and a trustworthy forehand for newer FH throwers.
- Flight: 7 | 5 | 0 | 2 (stable)
- Use it for: light headwinds, straight-then-fade placement, forehand fairways
Lefty Flight Cheat Sheet
- LHBH mirror: your stock fade finishes to the right (opposite a right-hand backhand).
- Easy mode for lines: understable fairways (Leopard, Underworld, Hatchet) teach hyzer-flip timing fast.
- Balance your mids: pair a neutral mid (Buzzz) with an understable (Meteor) and an overstable (Method).
- Weights & plastics: lighter & grippier plastics flip easier; premium holds stability longer.
Building a Lefty-Friendly Starter Bag
- Putter: P2 (stable approaches + putting)
- Mids: Buzzz (neutral), Meteor (turnovers), Method (wind & hyzer)
- Fairways: Leopard (flip/learn), Underworld or Hatchet (glidey distance), Instinct (wind/control)
Tip: If you’re brand new, a pre-built set is an easy win—see our disc golf sets and build from there, or browse by brand: Innova, all brands.
FAQs for Left-Handed Players (2025)
Do lefties need different discs?
Nope. The same molds work for everyone—the angles (hyzer, flat, anhyzer) and your dominant hand determine the shape.
What’s the best first driver for a lefty?
Something understable with glide—DX Leopard, Underworld, or Hatchet. They flip easily and teach great habits.
Forehand as a lefty—what should I bag?
Start with straighter, torque-friendly fairways like the Instinct (or a stable mid) before jumping to very overstable drivers.
