Elevation Binx 8 | 5 | 0 | 1
Navigate tight wooded fairways with absolute confidence! The Elevation Disc Golf Binx is a neutral-to-understable fairway control driver specifically engineered to provide full-size driver distance while mimicking the minimal ground play of a putter. As Elevation's first true driver, the Binx has become a legendary safety blanket for players who need to weave straight lines through the trees without the fear of a bad bounce or flare skip ruining their round. Pair the Binx with the heavily overstable Elevation Gecko or the ultra-low-glide Elevation Groundhog to build a completely skip-proof bag, and explore the entire Elevation Discs Collection today!
Flight Numbers & Performance
The Binx generally falls into a highly workable control profile with standard flight numbers of 8 | 5 | 0 | 1. Note: Modern ecoFLEX runs lean significantly more understable (8 | 6 | -3 | 1), serving as an exceptional hyzer-flip or turnover driver out of the box. For players with intermediate or slower arm speeds, the Binx offers an exceptionally straight, high-glide flight path with a very gentle finishing fade.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 5 (or 6) | 0 (or -3) | 1 |
How the Binx elevates your fairway game:
- Wooded Scramble Performance: The Binx acts as a safety blanket on tight lines. When it strikes a tree or makes landfall, its flexible vulcanized rubber absorbs the energy. This limits chaotic deflections and forces the disc to sit near its point of impact.
- The Slower-Arm Savior: Because it is incredibly workable, players who struggle to get massive distance out of stiffer, wider-rimmed drivers will find the Binx naturally wants to glide straight and stay aloft with very little effort.
- The "Teebird" Flat Feel: It features a comfortable, flat profile with a rim width similar to standard 7 or 8-speed control tools, giving you a familiar, confident grip.
Important Throwing Considerations
Because the flight plate is thin and flexible to achieve its signature hit-and-sit properties, the Binx requires a clean, smooth release. When applying maximum power, poor form or excessive off-axis torque can temporarily warp the rim during the throw, causing inconsistent flights. It truly shines for smooth, controlled finesse drives rather than brute-force ripping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the ecoFLEX Binx have different flight numbers?
Due to how the ecoFLEX rubber compound cools and molds, recent runs of the ecoFLEX Binx have a slightly different aerodynamic profile. This results in a much more understable flight (roughly 8 | 6 | -3 | 1). This makes the ecoFLEX version an absolute dream for effortless hyzer-flips and smooth, panning turnovers!
Is the Binx good for playing in the woods?
It is arguably one of the best fairway drivers in the world for heavily wooded courses. Traditional premium plastics will hit a tree and ricochet 50 feet deep into the brush. The rubber material of the Binx absorbs that impact, drastically reducing the deflection and keeping you on or near the fairway.
Can I throw the Binx forehand?
While the flat profile feels great for a forehand grip, the extreme flexibility of the rubber flight plate requires a very smooth release. If you have a "choppy" forehand with high off-axis torque, the disc may buckle slightly upon release. It favors clean, smooth touch forehands over max-power flicks.
