Cosmic Huia
$16.99
Huia – RPM Discs is an up and coming company in the disc golf world. Hailing from New Zealand, these discs have a great look to them with really cool artwork feautring different birds native to New Zealand. The Huia is a stable fairway driver that fits nicely right in the middle of any bag. A workhorse fairway that can be thrown on any line and hold it and get plenty of distance without too much ground play at the end. It will have a nice long straight flight with a gently fade at the very end. It is reliable in most conditions and can be thrown a lot. Great for one disc rounds and to learn different angles for different shots with the same disc.
RPM says this about the Huia: “RPM has added a stable fairway driver to it’s range. The ‘Huia’ will fast become a favourite in your bag providing consistent medium to long range straight shots with a gentle fade. The added glide will mean that you can sneak some extra distance with your tunnel shots and the blunt nose means you won’t lose control if it hits a pocket of wind. If you enjoy throwing forehand shots you will notice the slightly deeper rim helping you grip the disc.”

I don’t know enough about this disc to really comment on it. Just got it. Very overstable out of the box.
First day with this disc I’ve had some close runs for my elusive ace. Can’t recommend this disc enough in all seriousness. Super fun and reliable for everything, especially forehand shots.
Took a chance on this disc and oh man… I am so glad I did! Super great for control upshots and for shaping shots around obstacles.
This disc is so necessary for every bag. Great plastic, 7 speed, so the rim isn’t too big and it’s easy to grip. And it’s so reliable. Out of the box my Huias are OS like an Eagle. Very reliable for FH and BH. I have started to beat my Atomic in a little bit and now it’s going straighter and straighter and still has the fade at the end. Again I can BH or FH this and it won’t turn over. I love throwing this for like 285-310 shot that I need to go straight for a long time and then hook up and fade at the end but not a crazy huge fade. Get one of these and let it beat in and you will have a MONEY disc. Perfect compliment to the Pekapeka.
Beautiful disc. I am awful at throwing it.
PDGA Approved in 2019, the Huia has quickly become a very important part of my bag. This stable to overstable fairway driver was quick to replace the Volt in my bag but with more stability. I don’t have to worry about the Huia flipping over in the wind, especially a newer Cosmic or Atomic variety of it. As a left handed player, I can rely on this disc when I want to throw hard and still get a reliable finish to the right. With that being said, with some anhyzer angle, I can also get some decent turn and glide out of it. I have a Strata (baseline) Huia which I can really get to turn over to the left but still get a nice fade at the end of the flight. The feel in the hand can take some getting used to, to be honest but once I discovered how workable this disc is, I don’t see it ever leaving my bag. I have about 5 or 6 backups just in case I ever end up losing one. However I don’t see that happening anytime in the near future because every time I reach for the Huia, it does exactly what I want it to do without having to worry. If I need to go right (once again as a predominantly LHBH thrower) for shots that are sub 300′ the Huia is it for me. Also worth mentioning, the few times I have tried the Huia for a sidearm throw (only because I hardly ever flick) it has always worked out for me. Overall just a great stable to overstable fairway driver that you can always rely on.
