This run of the Discraft Buzzz carries Chris Dickerson's Robot Chicken stamp on premium Z Swirl plastic. Z Swirl runs each disc's colors together in the mix, so no two in this batch look quite alike, and the plastic underneath is the same durable Z blend that has anchored Discraft's mid-range line for years.

Flight Numbers: 5 / 4 / -1 / 1

Z Swirl is stiffer and slicker out of the wrapper than ESP, and it takes longer to beat in. That is a plus if you want a Buzzz that holds its stable flight for seasons instead of months. Once it does start to break in, it settles the same direction every premium Buzzz does: straighter, with a touch less fade at the end.

Thrown flat this Buzzz flies dead straight and finishes with a short, dependable fade. On a hyzer it holds the hyzer line, and it does not flip over into a headwind the way lighter-rimmed mids do. Advanced players use it as the disc they measure every other midrange against, and a newer player can throw it hard without fear of a surprise turnover.

Good for anyone who wants a stamp worth keeping in the bag instead of on a shelf, since Z Swirl holds up to real rounds and tree hits. Forehand throwers get a clean release off the shallow, beadless rim.

Need a Buzzz you can throw every round without worrying about scuffing the stamp? The Big Z Buzzz gives you the same durable plastic without the swirl or the signature. Want it grippier instead? The ESP Buzzz is the plastic most bags carry. See the rest of the lineup in the stable midrange discs collection.
