The Dynamic Discs Treason is a Really Nice Disc!
Initially, I thought the Treason was just a mediocre disc. After my first dozen or so throws, I was ready to give it a 3-star review—an average disc among the hundreds out there. And really, why carry an average disc when your bag only has so much room?
My early impression of the DD Treason was that:
First, the feel of the disc isn’t the most comfortable ever. It’s certainly not uncomfortable—it’s not painful—it’s just not comfortable. The inside of the bottom rim is a bit “sharper” than most discs. Not actually sharp, but noticeably less rounded and smooth. That said, it didn’t affect my throws at all.
Aside from that slightly sharp inner rim, the Treason has a really nice feel. It’s made from quality Dynamic Discs plastic—super smooth, good grip for a driver, and a great profile with a nice angle from the rim to the mostly flat flight plate. The rim is quite shallow, which might not be ideal if you have “fat fingers,” but I didn’t mind. I actually think it helps the disc feel fast and fly far for just a speed 10 driver.
Second, based on the manufacturer’s -3 turn flight rating, I was expecting a very flippy, understable disc. My 173g purple Treason, fresh out of the box, is not very flippy. It has some turn, but at my arm speed, it doesn’t flip up. My hyzer releases were staying on hyzer and finishing on hyzer, not giving me that full S-curve flight.
But then I started to get the hang of it.
Once I threw it more like the disc it actually is—a slightly understable driver rather than a very understable one—I started loving it. A flat release gave me a dead-straight flight for over 300 feet, followed by a forward-penetrating fade. I had one of my best drives ever with it on a 340-foot hole that requires a dead-straight shot for 310+ feet just to get around the last guardian tree. With a smooth, controlled throw, I’m consistently getting the Treason out to around 330 feet.
Another area where the Treason really surprised me was on forehand throws. At first, I only gave it low power, expecting it to turn and burn with that -3 turn rating. But I quickly learned I could give it a lot more power forehand, and it held up beautifully—no rollovers, just a smooth, straight flight with great distance and control.
Treason Recommendation
All in all, I really like the DD Treason.
It’s not a beginner disc, but it’s a great option for intermediate players—as a control driver, or even as a distance driver. For many intermediate players, it might fly just as far as a higher-speed distance disc.
It’s a little faster and a bit more stable than my Infinite Discs Sphinx, and it has slightly less stability than my Finish Line Era. I don’t see the Treason replacing those discs in my bag, but it could if I wanted it to. So while it’s not likely to end up in my tournament bag, it definitely has a great flight, something unique, and could be a fantastic fit for many disc golfers, especially if you’re Dynamic Discs fans.
