If it was an Innova disc it feels as though it should have a fade rating of 6. This Flick has more fade than any other disc tested to date. If you are playing a hole where you want to ensure you won’t turn to the left (with a forearm throw), the Flick will all but guarantee that doesn’t happen. The fade which occurs on this disc is so strong that having a consistently distant throw will be difficult. It has huge potential, but requires just the right amount of anhyzer (counter fade) in your throw. In the end, the Flick simply is not a far flying disc for an average player. If you do you’ll have a lot of fun and get some serious distance by throwing the Discraft Flick. If you don’t have a strong forehand throw with a power “flick,” this is probably not a good disc for you. For Kirk who has less focus on the snap and more on straight flying speed, the results were far less favorable. From our initial round of distance tests the Flick ranked second for me, trailed only by its brother the Discraft Flash. When I throw it with a slight anhyzer angle with a nice snap this disc flys straight and fast. This frisbee is fun to throw because I can chuck it as hard as I can at high anhyzer angle, and no matter what it will stabilize and then fade to the right (with my right hand forearm throw). The Flick has a super thick rim, and is one of the flattest golf discs I’ve seen. Fortunately for me, my most powerful throw is a forearm throw where the bulk of the power comes from the wrist snap. The Discraft Flick is a very fast over stable (2.5 on Discrafts Stability rating) distance driver that is designed for forehand/sidearm throwers. If you don’t get a super power wrist snap when you throw the Discraft Flick, it’s not going to get much distance and will quickly fade hard into the ground. The Discraft Zone is best suited for intermediate/advanced players with stronger arms due to the over the stability of the disc, but as always beginners can find a way to grab this one in their bag.When they call this disc the Flick, they mean it. And finally, throwing the disc on an anhyzer line, it held for a long time and ended flat. Throwing flat, it had come forward carry than the stong fade at end of flight dumped it. When throwing on a hyzer, it hyzered out almost immediately. The Zone is a very flat board top with a low profile. We believe Innova provides great quality discs just as Discraft. Discraft would love to say it's because of the switch from Innova to Discraft discs! (They state it's a new plastic not actually Jawbreaker) All the mentioned discs Paul McBeth bags when playing in the multiple tournaments which he's tearing through on the Pro Tour. It has been in Discraft's Putter arsenal for quite some time, but when Paul McBeth came over from Innova to Discraft (Jan 1st, 2019) He brought with him 4 signature series discs and 1 new Paul McBeth line disc.Įlite Z Zone - Approach Shots, Titanium Undertaker - Fairway Drives, ESP Buzzz - Mid Range, Elite Z Force - Distance Drivers and a Jawbreaker type Luna putter - Actual putting. Forehand up-shots with the overstable flight characteristics you look for. Should I bag the Discraft Zone? This disc is great considering it truly is tunneled into a specific case for when to utilize it. Rim Width: 1.2 cm Who Bags the Discraft Zone? Will hold the line without flipping on long approaches, and delivers predictable putts even in windy conditions. Here is what Discraft has to say about the disc:Īdvanced players love the overstable, low-profiled Zone putter. This type of disc thrives in the windy conditions while your other friends and competitors try to use other discs that get flown way off course. The problem is the Discraft Zone was made for those approach shots with a great deal of over stability in its flight. Many players use the Zone for putting are probably disappointed in their performance or just believe there not good at the game. The Discraft Zone is just meant to be this type of disc. While this is true for Disc Golf, instead of having a chipper, Disc golfers use their putters as an approach shot. Joking aside, in regular golf, a putter is used only on the green and for those very short-range shots. Many people try to correlate regular golf with disc golf, but most people realize right away the main difference is Disc Golf is just 100x better. Speed: 4 | Glide: 3 | Turn: 0 | Fade: 3 | PDGA Approved The glide is excellent it’s amazing a small flick of the wrist and the disc will seem to fly for days. Perfect for long approach shots, and delivers predictable putting in any weather conditions Mother Nature throws at us. It holds lines without flipping better than any disc on the market. It's classified as a Putter, but the Zone is perfect for this type of throw due to its low profile and overstable flight characteristics. The Discraft Zone is perfectly made for forehand shots.
