Material Information

Discraft Z-Line plastic is a highly popular and versatile plastic blend known for its durability, grippiness, and well-balanced flight characteristics. Here's a breakdown of its key features:

Durability: One of the most prominent features of Z-Line plastic is its exceptional durability. It can withstand nicks, abrasions, and impacts from regular disc golf play, making it a good choice for beginners who might accidentally nick their discs or for players who frequent courses with hazards like trees and rocks.

Grip: Z-Line plastic offers a good balance between grippiness and stiffness. It has a slightly tacky feel that provides control in various weather conditions, especially important for maintaining grip during wet or humid rounds. While grippier than some other Discraft plastics like Elite X, Z-Line becomes less grippy as it seasons (breaks in) over time.

Flight Characteristics: Z-Line plastic offers a good balance between stability and straight flight, making discs in this plastic suitable for a variety of throws and playing styles. New Z-Line discs will be relatively stable, meaning they will resist turning over and hold their line well. However, as they wear in and become more seasoned, they will develop more glide (the ability to stay airborne for longer distances) and turn (gradually veer to the right for a backhand thrower, left for a forehand throw). This seasoning process allows the disc to evolve for different flight characteristics over its lifespan.

Versatility: The well-rounded characteristics of Z-Line plastic make it a popular choice for discs across various categories, including drivers, fairway drivers, midranges, and putters. It offers a good blend of control, durability, and gradual change in flight characteristics as the disc seasons, making it suitable for players of all skill levels.

Discraft Z-Line plastic is a dependable choice for disc golfers who value a durable and grippy disc that offers good stability for beginners and develops straighter flight with a touch of turn as it seasons for more experienced players.
Mold Information

Discraft Meteor is an understable midrange disc designed for controlled turnovers, smooth hyzer flips, and maximizing glide for beginners and advanced players alike. Here's a closer look at its features:

Flight Numbers: Discraft assigns these flight ratings to the Meteor: 4 Speed, 5 Glide, -3 Turn, 1 Fade. Let's break them down:

Speed: 4 indicates a slower midrange disc. This makes it controllable for beginners and allows for finesse shots by experienced players.

Glide: 5 signifies good lift and forward momentum after release.

Turn: -3 signifies understability. The disc will want to turn over (right for backhand, left for forehand) during the initial flight path.

Fade: 1 indicates a minimal fade at the end of the flight. The disc will have a gentle turn back to the left (for a backhand thrower) for a controlled finish.
Understable Midrange: The Meteor's key characteristic is its understable profile. This makes it ideal for:

Turnovers: Beginners can utilize the turn for gentle turnovers that fight back at the end, helpful for navigating tight corners or avoiding obstacles.

Hyzer Flips: More advanced players can throw the Meteor with a hyzer angle (tilted at an angle) to leverage the turn for a controlled flip upside down, achieving a turnover shot that eventually fades back.

Maximizing Glide: The understable profile and good glide allow the Meteor to stay airborne for extended periods, useful for reaching distant targets or achieving finesse approaches with a soft landing.

Versatility for Various Skill Levels: Despite its understable nature, the Meteor's controllable flight path makes it a good option for both beginners and advanced players. Beginners can learn controlled turnovers and maximize glide, while advanced players have a disc for strategic shot shaping.

Discraft Meteor is a versatile, understable midrange disc that offers controlled turnovers, smooth hyzerflips, and extended glide for players of all skill levels.
