  • Speedi 9

    The first number is the speed of the disc. It can range from 1-14. Putters are rated 1-3 and are designed to function at low speeds any player can use. Mid range discs are 4-5 and require more speed when thrown to achieve their desired results. A fairway driver will be speed 6-8, these discs fly mostly straight. Discs that are speed 9 and above are classified as distance drivers. Throwing a distance driver takes a significant amount of power to get up to speed, players are rewarded with additional distance if they learn to control these discs. New players are cautioned that speed does not equal distance. Due to the difficulty of controlling higher speed discs, a beginner could find that a light weight disc with a speed of 6 or 7 could fly farther for them than a max distance driver with a speed of 13. In fact most new players should learn by throwing putters only so they can develop the proper form. After a few weeks they'll begin to get reliable results and are ready ×

  • glidei 4

    This second rating is numbered 1 – 6. Glide describes a disc’s ability to remain in flight. Discs with higher glide ratings will fly further than discs rated lower in this category. A high glide rating is good when the goal is distance, but can have the wrong effect for putts and approach shots. Sometimes overshooting the basket can be worse than not making it far enough. Low glide ratings such as 1 or 2 are popular with upshot putters because they don't fly for distance but for a little extra control. Glide is different for different kinds of discs as well. A putter with a glide of 4 will stay airborne much longer than distance drivers with a glide of 4 ×

  • Turni 0

    Third in Innova’s flight rating system is turn. Turn is rated from 1 to -5?, with -5 being the most understable. The lower the numer, the more striking turn will result. A newer, slower-throwing disc golfer using an understable disc with a ‘high’ negative turn rating will enjoy great distance, as the disc isn’t going to fade as quickly. Also, players whose farthest throw is 200 feet or less probably won’t notice any turn in the flightpath. Once a player gets more speed and power, they will see their understable discs start turning to the right at the beginning of the flight before fading to the left at the end. Discs rated -4 or -5 are popularly used for rollover or roller throws by experienced players. Some discs have 0 turn which means that they'll start to fade when they run out of speed during the flight and at no point will they turn. It's important to carry at least one disc with a high turn rating in your bag for rounds. ×

  • Fadei 3

    This last rating category ranges from 0 to 5; with a disc rated 0 being the straightest finishing, while a disc rated 5 fading the most during the last portion of the flight. Even discs rated lowest in turn will still ‘fade’ as the disc slows at the end of the flight. A disc with a higher fade rating is useful for a hole with a dogleg. Straight finishing discs are great for control, discs with little fade are normal. If you're a Right-hand backhand thrower you'll find that almost every disc wants to fade to the left at the end of your flight. Discs with a 4 or 5 fade rating are excellent in heavy winds. They sacrifice a little of the distance but make sure that the disc won't do anything unexpected. Discs with a low fade are more susceptible to being affected by the wind. ×

Product Description

The Discraft Z Line Raptor Disc Golf Distance Driver is a very overstable flat top disc. It's going to be your utility control disc that is great for flex shots, skip shots, hyzer spikes, and headwind drives. Rely on the Raptor to always hyzer no matter the conditions.

The flight path of the Raptor is straight for about 50% of the flight and then it's going to start to dip the wing and hyzer. It's got a low profile and is an excellent forehand disc, also great for backhands. The Raptor will not be your max distance disc, but it will be your max control driver. Every time you pull the Raptor out of your bag you can be sure it's going to hyzer. Feel free to flex it down tunnels where you have a dogleg and see the big skip to the hyzer side. Try it on a hyzer spike shot and see that it practically goes straight up and down over that obstacle. It's so good at its job of hyzering, don't expect any glide from this disc. It goes to the area you throw it and won't go past because of wind.

Z Line plastic from Discraft is their most durable and overstable blend. It's an excellent choice for the Raptor because you'll be throwing this very hard and it may hit trees and rocks. It's not super grippy in wet conditions, but on warm days it won't go floppy and become flippy either.

The Z Line Raptor from Discraft is made to execute difficult shots. It won't flip on you, and it is going to do the same thing no matter the conditions. You can rely on a consistent hyzer no matter how hard you throw. Snag one of these very useful and reliable discs today!
