The Discraft Malta is Paul McBeth's fourth signature disc, an overstable midrange with the diameter of a Zone and the trustworthy distance of a Buzzz, and this run comes in a hand dyed Z Fly Dye finish where no two discs match.

Flight Numbers: 5 / 4 / 1 / 3

Z is Discraft's stiffer, more durable premium plastic, and the Fly Dye process bonds color into the translucent base rather than printing a stamp on top, so the finish will not wear off with use. It grips solidly in most conditions, resists chunking on tree hits, and holds this Malta's overstable numbers for a long time before it starts to soften up.

At real speed it holds a beefy, controlled line and finishes with a strong fade, closer to a workhorse than a finesse mid, though slower arms and backhand throwers will see less of that plus turn than the box numbers suggest. It handles wind well and is a good choice for tight fairway shots where you need the disc to hold its line rather than drift. Intermediate and advanced players use it as an all conditions approach disc, and forehand throwers like the comfortable, slightly wider than Zone diameter.

Same mold, different plastic: the Discraft ESP Malta is grippier and beats in a little faster. Want McBeth's other signature stamp on the same mold? The Discraft Paul McBeth 6x Claw ESP Malta is worth a look. Browse our overstable midrange discs.
