Discraft Lightweight ESP Venom (Ledgestone)
The Discraft Venom in lightweight ESP plastic is a very overstable distance driver built for players who want that fast, fade-heavy flight without the extra weight in hand. This Ledgestone run sits in the 160 to 166 gram range instead of the usual max weight builds.
Flight Numbers: 13 / 5 / 0 / 3
ESP is Discraft's grippy premium blend, and at a lighter weight it turns over a little easier than a max weight Venom while still holding onto its overstable core. It grips well in cold weather and holds up to years of headwind rounds without much wear.
Thrown flat with real power it hyzers straight into the ground, which is exactly what a flex-shot thrower wants from a driver this overstable. Into a headwind it barely turns and finishes with a hard fade every time, and it excels on forehand and overhand shots where you need the disc to fight back against your own power.
Good for advanced players with the arm speed to get a 13 speed moving, and for forehand throwers who want a reliable anhyzer flex disc. Slower arms will find the lighter weight helps a little, but this is still a big-arm driver first.
Want the same overstable flight at max weight? The ESP Venom is the standard build. Need a firmer plastic that lasts even longer? The Z Venom is worth a look. Browse our Venom collection.
