MATERIAL:
Discraft ESP plastic is a proprietary blend of plastic that is designed to be durable, grippy, and have excellent performance. It is a good choice for players of all skill levels, but it is especially popular among intermediate and advanced players.

ESP plastic is made with a variety of polymers that are specifically chosen for their durability, grip, and performance. It is known for its ability to withstand heavy use without losing its shape or performance. ESP discs are also known for their excellent grip, even in wet or cold conditions.

In addition to its durability and grip, Discraft ESP plastic is also known for its excellent performance. Discs made with ESP plastic tend to have more glide and distance potential than discs made with other plastics. They are also known for their ability to hold their line and resist turning over.

DESCRIPTION:
Discraft Zone GT Banger Top mold is a variation of the recently released Zone GT, a popular overstable approach disc. Introduced in 2023 as part of a Zone GT Battle Pack letting players choose the final mold.

Banger Top refers to the specific groove design on the top flight plate.

The Banger Top mold won the community vote and is expected to be offered by Discraft soon, though currently limited to releases like the Test Flight Zone GT.

Inherits the overstable flight path of the classic Zone, known for its reliability in wind and fighting fade.

Compared to the Ringer GT counterpart in the Battle Pack, the Banger Top offers a slightly more overstable flight. This translates to a touch less straight flight before the fade kicks in.

Ideal for forehand approach shots where the overstability helps with control and fighting wind.
Comparison to Banger GT Putter:

While both share the "Banger" and "GT" naming, they are distinct discs.

The Zone GT Banger Top is an approach disc, focusing on controlled, accurate throws at mid-range.

The Banger GT, released in 2005, is a putter known for its unique groove and shallow profile for putting.

Discraft Zone GT Banger Top mold is an upcoming disc offering the familiar overstable flight of the Zone with a Banger GT inspired groove on the top for grip. It caters to disc golfers who prefer a dependable and controllable approach disc, especially for forehand throws.
