Discraft ESP Swirl Passion (Reaper Edition)
The Discraft ESP Swirl Passion Reaper Edition is Paige Pierce's signature fairway driver, the disc she built to play like a longer Buzzz, with the flat outer rim bump that traces straight back to the classic Discraft Cyclone. This Reaper stamp run puts it in a swirl finish you will not find anywhere else.
Flight Numbers: 8 / 5 / -1 / 1
ESP Swirl is Discraft's grippy premium blend, firm through the whole flight plate and durable enough to hold this mold's stable flight for years. The swirl run means every disc looks a little different, and the plastic stays tacky in most conditions once it is broken in, which matters on a disc built for a clean, repeatable release.
Put it on a hyzer and it holds the hyzer, put it on anhyzer and it pans through the flight and finishes gently without burning over, and thrown flat it goes straight with a modest fade at the end. It handles forehand and backhand releases with equal torque resistance, though it is built for a straight line rather than fighting a strong headwind, so save the overstable driver for gusty days. Beginners get a forgiving, easy to control first fairway driver, and advanced players use it as a do-everything 7 to 8 speed that can replace two or three other discs in that slot.
