Premier Technology lands next in the Essence, the do-it-all fairway driver Discmaniacs already reach for on technical holes. The Q-Line Premier Essence carries similar qualities to the fan-favorite Premier DD1, but at fairway speed 8. What you get is an understable fairway driver that turns slowly, holds the turn deep into the flight and keeps gliding long after a normal 8 speed has started to fade, so it has the distance you would normally need a faster disc for.

The extra rim weight gives it more high speed stability because it fights against turning, so the turn tightens from -2 to -1. It also fights against fading, so it gets an extra gear when it comes to glide. Compared to the Neo Essence, the Premier Essence has a tighter and longer flight path. The Essence mold is 21.0 cm across and 1.8 cm tall with a 1.2 cm rim depth and a 1.8 cm rim, with a rounded, semi-blunt nose and a rounded dome that feel great in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSpeed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGlide\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eTurn\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eFade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Q-Line Premier Essence delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow, Long Turn:\u003c\/strong\u003e It turns slowly and holds that turn deep into the flight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtra Glide:\u003c\/strong\u003e It keeps gliding long after a normal 8 speed has started to fade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTighter Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e The -1 turn keeps it on a tighter, more predictable line than the Neo Essence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy Shaping:\u003c\/strong\u003e You can throw almost all kinds of different shapes with it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt excels at:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnical holes where a straight, predictable line matters more than raw speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong, gentle turnovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHyzer flips that ride flat and glide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra distance without stepping up to a faster driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Q-Line Premier Plastic Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed 8 and a lot more than that in the air. The Premier mold runs a thinner flight plate, with Q-Line's denser plastic blend behind it to carry the weight, which puts more of the disc's weight out in the rim. Q-Line plastic was made for Discmania's Premier Technology. It's a durable, grippy premium plastic with a glossy finish, so it feels great in the hand and holds up to tree hits without getting too beat up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Essence Fits in the Discmania Lineup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVs the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/discmania-neo-essence\" title=\"Discmania Neo Essence Product Page\"\u003eNeo Essence\u003c\/a\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e The stock Essence at 8 | 6 | -2 | 1.
