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.
