DISCRAFT STOCK PLASTICS
Z LINE
Z Line discs are very durable and retain their original flight characteristics for a long time. They are translucent to semi-translucent in appearance depending on the production run. Z plastic gets more grippier as the plastic beats in.
BIG Z LINE
Big Z Line discs have all the durability of standard Z Line plastic with a more opaque look and pearly sheen. These discs feature
large artwork that reflect the mold name.
ESP LINE
ESP Line discs offer increased grip to premium plastic. They are opaque in appearance and often include colour swirls.
FLX LINE
FLX Line discs feel much gummier than their standard plastic counterparts. Their increased flex means the discs should skip less and work well in cold weather conditions.
TITANIUM LINE
Titanium Line discs are highly durable and grippy. They are opaque in appearance with a pearly sheen.
JAWBREAKER LINE
Jawbreaker Line discs feel nice and tacky for perfect grip. This plastic is medium in stiffness and durability. These discs will beat in to become more understable than their original flight paths. They are coloured marble-like in appearance (comparable to a speckled Jawbreaker candy).
PUTTER LINE
Putter Line discs offer the best price point and grip for your short game. This plastic comes in 2 different flexes - regular and soft. The discs will beat in the quickest to become more understable than their original flight paths.
PUTTER BLEND
Putter Blend is a mixture of Discraft's grippy Jawbreaker blend with the durability and extra tackiness of rubber.
Discraft has given their team players - Paul McBeth, Paige Pierce and Brodie Smith - their own line of discs which are available as stock discs from Discraft. These players receive royalties from a portion of the sale proceeds from these discs and also from their signature Discraft stock discs.
