The Discraft Titanium Raptor is an overstable control driver with a flat profile and a small rim, built to cut through wind rather than glide over it. Titanium is Discraft's stiffest plastic, and on the Raptor it locks in a flight that barely changes no matter how hard it is thrown.

Flight Numbers: 9 / 4 / 0 / 3

Titanium does not flex or soften much over time, so the Raptor keeps its zero turn and hard fade for years instead of drifting flippy as it beats in. It is stiffer in the hand than ESP, good for a firm, locked in forehand release.

At speed 9 it does not take a huge arm to get this disc flying its numbers, and once it is up to speed it holds a straight line into a headwind without folding over the way a flippier control driver will. The low glide keeps it from floating past a landing zone, which makes it a strong pick for technical lines that need a hard, predictable fade rather than distance. Forehand throwers get a comfortable, flat feel in the hand, and anyone playing in constant wind will find this one of the more dependable 9 speeds on the market.

Throwing into wind a lot? This is one of the more dependable discs for it. Want it in a grippier premium blend? Try the ESP Raptor. Prefer it to break in slower and hold its edge? The Big Z Raptor is the one. See the rest of our overstable distance drivers.
