Discraft Buzzz (ESP FLX)
The Discraft Buzzz in ESP FLX plastic takes the most trusted mid-range in disc golf and softens it up. ESP FLX blends Discraft's grippy premium ESP with a flexible additive, so the flight plate gives a little in your hand instead of feeling stiff and hard.
Flight Numbers: 5 / 4 / -1 / 1
The flex is the whole story with this plastic. It stays tacky and warm feeling even on a cold morning round, when stiffer premium blends turn slick. That grip comes with a tradeoff: FLX beats in a touch faster than stock ESP and settles into a straighter, slightly softer flight sooner. Ground play is reduced too, so approach shots tend to sit down instead of skipping past the basket.
Thrown flat it holds a dead straight line and finishes with a short, soft fade, the same reliable flight that makes the Buzzz the disc every other midrange gets compared to. On a hyzer it stays on hyzer, and it takes a forehand release well because the beadless rim sits flat in the hand. I reach for mine on cold-weather rounds and controlled approach shots where I want grip more than distance.
Good for a new player learning what a clean, straight release looks like, and for anyone who wants a Buzzz that feels softer without giving up the stability. Slower arms get the full flight without much power, and bigger arms can still shape a hyzer flip or a turnover look on it.
Want the same mold in a firmer, more durable plastic? The Z Buzzz holds its overstable shape for years. Prefer standard ESP without the flex? The ESP Buzzz is the one most bags carry. See every version in the Buzzz collection.
