We’ve separated The Finale into putters and midranges, drivers, and specialty sets. Let’s take a look at the putters and midranges.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

 


X Swirl Luna - The Luna’s beadless rim, limited glide, and overstability inspire confidence in both high-speed and low-speed arms. The overstability also makes the Luna a popular choice for a throwing putter. The Luna has flourished alongside the popularity and success of the 6x World Champion and has become one of the most used putters on the planet. The X Swirl plastic features a beautiful 8-point swirl and a tacky grip with a firmness that will season in quickly to become a go-to on the green. The stamp brings a unique twist to the classic Luna stock stamp including a larger “LUNA” across the center with spiked “N”.

 

Z Glo Fly Dye Luna - The Luna’s beadless rim, limited glide, and overstability inspire confidence in both high-speed and low-speed arms. The overstability also makes the Luna a popular choice for a throwing putter. It was the first disc in the Paul McBeth Line from Discraft. The Luna has flourished alongside the popularity and success of the 6x World Champion and has become one of the most used putters on the planet. For the first time ever, the Luna will be released in Z Glo Fly Dye plastic. These Ledgestone Edition Lunas feature the slick and durable feel of standard Z plastic with an extra strong overstability. This putter looks gorgeous around the clock with the beautiful Fly Dye design showing off during the day, and the glow-in-the-dark properties taking over at night. On the face of this one-of-a-kind run, a waist-up depiction of the Roman moon deity dons a space suit and gazes into the distance while tossing the moon in the palm of her hand.

 

Z Glo Fly Dye Buzzz - Discraft’s flagship disc is the Buzzz. This premiere, straight-flier will hold any line you put it on. The versatility of the Buzzz makes it the most dependable midrange on the market. This run is a touch overstable and very predictable. The fly dye patterns make each disc pop while the Astronaut Big Bee art takes center stage.

 

Z Glo Flx Putt’r - This tall-rimmed, unbeveled putter brings in all the feels of a traditional lid in disc golf form. It is neutral-to-understable and perfect for anhyzer releases and soft, floaty bids at the basket. Currently out of production at Discraft, the Putt’r has returned for this limited Ledgestone Edition run. These Putt’rs hold their stability and float effortlessly on soft anhyzer lines with minimal ground play, increased durability and limited fade. The flexible plastic allows for a comfortable grip around the tall rim. Pixel art graces the front of this run with a Minecraft-style disc golfer throwing into a basket. Even better, this run has a strong glow-in-the-dark component.

 

CryZtal Grateful Zone - The Zone is Discraft’s most popular approach disc. Good for both forehands and backhands, this extremely overstable mold can handle significant torque and always provides a reliable finish to its flight, no matter the angle. This run is beefy and consistent with a smooth grip. Skulls and smoke spell out an elaborate and creative “CRYZTAL” across the face of these Zones.

 

Z Glo Flx Zone OS - The Zone OS is the most overstable approach disc on the market. It will exhibit almost zero glide and head straight into its fading arc immediately upon release. Even on a normal anhyzer, the Zone OS rotates into its fade also immediately. Windy conditions will have no impact on this disc. Though a bit boxier than a standard Zone on the upper edge of the flight plate, the two molds feel very similar in the hand. This run of Zone OS lacks nothing in overstability and celebrates it with a nod to its “Beefy Boi” nature in a Pixel Art stamp depicting a cow.

 

CT Jawbreaker Swirl Zone GT - This disc was released as a highly sought-after Battle Pack in 2023 with the eventual design winner being a Banger GT flight plate on top of the standard Zone mold. At baseline, the Zone GT is a standard Zone with added grip for throwing through the addition of a thumb track. Good for both forehands and backhands, this extremely overstable mold can handle significant torque and always provides a reliable finish to its flight, no matter the angle. This run is stiff and grippy, but seasons nicely in the Jawbreaker Swirl plastic. The 8-point colorful swirls help a smaller, central octopus-skeleton stamp stand out.

 

Z Midnight Zone GT - This disc was released as a highly sought-after Battle Pack in 2023 with the eventual design winner being a Banger GT flight plate on top of the standard Zone mold. At baseline, the Zone GT is a standard Zone with added grip for throwing through the addition of a thumb track. Good for both forehands and backhands, this extremely overstable mold can handle significant torque and always provides a reliable finish to its flight, no matter the angle. This run is part of the Ledgestone Records series and features a unique, central stamp making the circular shape of the disc look like a vinyl record. These Zone GTs are blacked out and overstable.

 

UV Glo Archer - The 2016 Discraft Ace Race disc found a home in Discraft’s midrange lineup as the Archer. This understable midrange is very controllable for newer players and is perfect for hyzer-flip lines and carving up fairways in the woods. Players will notice strong glide from the Archer with or without a lot of power. Pixel art is back with this Ledgestone Edition Archer’s stamp, depicting a skeleton firing a shot with its bow and arrow. These Archers not only glow in the dark, but also change color in the sunlight.

 

CryZtal Glo Comet - The Comet is understable with supreme glide, but the intended flight of the Comet can be achieved even at very slow arm speeds, making this a popular disc for all skill types. Straight shots, hyzer-flips, soft hyzers, massive turnovers; this disc can do it all. These Comets are more overstable than normal with high durability, making them a run players will want to get their hands on. They glow in the dark as well, making the pixel art stamp design stand out as an unnamed anime character rides through the sky on a fiery comet.

 

Z Swirl Buzzz - Discraft’s flagship disc is the Buzzz. This premiere, straight-flier will hold any line you put it on. The versatility of the Buzzz makes it the most dependable midrange on the market. This run is a straight flier and spins beautifully with its colorful 8-point swirls. The grip is tacky and firm. The stamp on this run features a barren desert scene with a disc entering a warped basket in a nod to the 1998 cult classic, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

 

ESP Swirl Glo Buzzz OS - This disc delivers the same feel as a Buzzz in your hand with added overstability. The Buzzz OS is perfect for midrange shots calling for more fade or flex-lines and is highly effective in the wind. This disc is also highly conducive for forehand throwers and advanced backhand specialists, making it extremely versatile in many situations on the course. This run lacks nothing in overstability, but combines dependable fade with an increased tackiness in the grip. The 3-point swirl of the 2022 ESP Tour series plastic always features bright pastel colors in its patterns.

 

X Swirl Wasp - The Wasp is the Buzzz’s slightly more overstable cousin. It falls in between the Buzzz and the Buzzz OS in stability. Other than the increased fade, the Wasp also sports a beaded rim, differentiating it from the feel of a standard Buzzz. The X Swirl Wasp combines a beautiful 8-point swirl with a tacky feel in the hand for increased grip. These Wasps beat in nicely to add a bit more glide before fading out.
