DGA First Flight LE Swirl Hurricane X 13 | 5 | 0 | 3
The DGA First Flight LE Swirl Hurricane X is a high-speed, overstable distance bomber created in direct collaboration with DGA team builders Cole Redalen and Sullivan Tipton. If you love the speed of the standard DGA Hurricane but need significantly more torque resistance to handle massive power or stiff headwinds, the Hurricane X is the upgrade your bag needs. This limited-edition First Flight release bridges the gap between massive distance and reliable control, giving big arms a disc they can completely tear into off the tee box. Explore the rest of the brand's lineup in our DGA Discs Collection, or look through all of our high-speed options in the main distance drivers collection. We weigh and take individual photos of every single disc, so the exact swirled beauty you click on below is the exact one we ship to your door.
Flight Numbers
The Hurricane X is built for maximum velocity and dependable stability. At a 13 speed, it requires a fast, clean release to unlock its true flight path. The 5 glide keeps the disc pushing deep down the fairway, while the true 0 turn guarantees it won't flip over or drift offline when thrown with high power. The 3 fade delivers a heavy, predictable finish that fights through crosswinds and checks up cleanly on the grass.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |

| 13 | 5 | 0 | 3 |
"It’s more stable than a standard Hurricane, but carries way more forward push than a Hypercane. It’s completely wind resistant and torque resistant while still giving you massive distance."
– Cole Redalen
The First Flight Hurricane X delivers:
- High-Torque Wind Resistance: Holds its line cleanly through headbreezes without flipping over or turning into a roller.
- Forward-Pushing Fade: Sullivan Tipton notes that while the finish stays highly stable, the disc refuses to stall out early, continuing to penetrate forward as it fades.
- Comfortable Wide Rim: A standard 13-speed rim profile that provides maximum finger leverage for both power backhands and aggressive forehands.
It excels at:
- Open distance lines where you need to throw at 100% power with zero fear of flipping.
- Big, sweeping hyzer lines that need to carry deep down the fairway before dropping.
- Powerful forehand drives that require a clean, snap-filled release and a dependable finishing skip.
First Flight Limited Edition Swirl Plastic
This special release is molded in DGA's premium limited-edition Swirl plastic. Since DGA discs are manufactured by Discraft, this blend is virtually identical to Discraft's highly popular ESP Swirl plastic. It features stunning, multi-colored visual bursts and unique color transitions through every single flight plate. Beyond the top-tier looks, this premium blend offers a perfectly balanced, slightly gummy hand traction that ensures a secure grip in cold, damp, or humid weather while maintaining the rugged durability needed to survive heavy fairway impacts.
How the Hurricane X Aligns on the Fairway
- Vs the Standard Hurricane: The stock Hurricane is a go-to maximum distance driver that picks up a bit of high-speed turn as it seasons. The Hurricane X adds a significant amount of torque resistance, staying completely flat out of the hand and finishing with a much heavier fade.
- Vs the DGA Hypercane: The Hypercane is a pure, hyper-aggressive utility meathook built strictly for fighting extreme gales. The Hurricane X offers a much more workable flight path, providing a similar headwind defense but carrying significantly more glide and forward push.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Hurricane X
Is the Hurricane X suitable for intermediate players?
Because it is a true 13-speed driver with a stable 3 fade, it requires a high amount of arm speed to fly correctly. Lower-powered players will find it to be a strictly overstable utility disc that hooks left early. It is highly recommended for advanced players, big arms, or anyone needing a dedicated headwind driver.
How does the grip compare to standard Z-line plastic?
The LE Swirl plastic blend is opaque and noticeably configuration-soft compared to translucent premium plastics. It provides a tackier, more velvety texture that yields slightly to thumb pressure, making it much easier to maintain a clean release when your hands are sweaty or cold.
Can this disc handle powerful sidearm throws?
Absolutely. In fact, forehand players love the Hurricane X specifically because its 0 turn rating handles off-axis torque beautifully. You can snap it hard on a flat or slight anhyzer angle and trust it to fight back flat before executing a reliable, skipping finish.
