Discraft Scorch is an understable distance driver designed to offer a good balance of distance and control for a variety of skill levels. Here's a breakdown of its key features:

Flight Numbers: Discraft rates the Scorch with these flight numbers: 11 Speed, 6 Glide, -2 Turn, 2 Fade. Let's unpack what this means:

Speed: 11 indicates a high-speed driver, capable of achieving maximum distance with a powerful throw.

Glide: 6 suggests moderate glide, meaning the disc will hold its forward momentum for a decent amount of time after release.

Turn: -2 signifies understability. The disc will have some high-speed turn, meaning it will fight to turn over (right for a backhand thrower, left for a forehand) during the initial flight.

Fade: 2 indicates a moderate fade at the end of the flight path. The disc will eventually fight back to the left (for a backhand thrower) for a controlled finish.

Understable Distance Driver: Due to its turn rating, the Scorch is best suited for players with slower arm speeds. Beginners and intermediate players can achieve good distance with a controlled S-curve flight path. More advanced players can utilize the turn for rollers or hyzerflips (flipping the disc upside down for a turnover shot that fights back at the end).

Reliable Fade: Despite the turn, the Scorch has enough fade to ensure a predictable finish, even in moderate wind conditions. This makes it a good option for players who want a distance driver that won't overpower them.

Discraft Scorch is a versatile distance driver that offers good distance potential with a controllable flight path for a variety of skill levels. Its understable profile makes it ideal for players with slower arm speeds and those who want a driver that turns over for rollers or specific shot shaping.

Discraft UV Z-Line plastic is a special edition variation of their standard Z-Line plastic that adds a photochromic effect. Here's a breakdown:

Z-Line Plastic: This is Discraft's most popular plastic blend, known for its durability and grippiness. It strikes a good balance between flexibility and stiffness, making it appropriate for both beginners and experienced players. Z-Line discs tend to become more seasoned (less grippy and more glide) as they wear over time.

UV Z-Line: This plastic adds a photochromic effect, which means the disc appears white or clear indoors but changes color when exposed to sunlight. The most common color change is to a pink or purple hue, but the exact shade can vary. Beyond the color change, UV Z-Line discs retain all the core properties of Z-Line plastic, including durability, grip, and flight characteristics.

Discraft UV Z-Line plastic offers a fun visual twist on the classic Z-Line plastic, ideal for players who want a durable and grippy disc with a unique color-changing effect. These discs are often special editions or runs, so availability may vary.
