MATERIAL:
Discraft's most durable and overstable plastics are Z or have Z in them. Formerly known as Elite-Z, this blend produces sleek designs with vibrant colors and a translucent to semi-translucent appearance, depending on the production run. It is the preferred choice for upshot-specific putters because of the resistance to wear and tear. Brand new Z plastic can be very slick. Grippiness tends to grow as the plastic beats in.

DESCRIPTION:
Discraft Surge SS is a distance driver designed for golfers who want a bomber disc that offers more control than the traditional high-speed driver. Here's a closer look at its characteristics:

Speed (11): This disc falls into the high-speed driver category,  promising serious distance potential.

Turn (-1): Understable with a Straight Bias -  A slightly negative turn rating indicates the Surge SS will have a tendency to turn slightly right (for right-handed backhand throws) during the initial flight, but not as dramatically as a true understable disc. This provides a straighter flight path for those with less arm speed.

Fade (2): Moderate Fade -  A moderate fade rating means the disc will have a predictable left turn (for right-handed backhand throws) at the end of its flight path, ensuring a reliable finish.

Glide (4):  Good Glide -  The Surge SS maintains good airborne time, extending its distance potential without sacrificing control.

Stability (1): Understable with Control -  The combination of turn and fade creates a disc that's slightly understable, allowing for controlled turnovers and maximizing distance for players with less power. However, the moderate fade prevents it from being overly flippy.

Plastics:  The Surge SS comes in a variety of Discraft plastics, each offering variations in feel and durability. Popular options include Z Line (grippy and durable), ESP (flexible and grippy), and Elite X (super grippy and slightly more overstable).

Discraft Surge SS is a fantastic choice for intermediate to advanced players seeking a distance driver that offers more control than a traditional high-speed driver. Its manageable turn and predictable fade make it ideal for achieving long, accurate throws, even for those with developing arm speed. The variety of plastics allows you to tailor the disc to your throwing style and preference.
