Discraft Z FLX Raptor (Aaron Gossage Tour Series)
The Discraft Raptor in Z FLX plastic wears Aaron Gossage's 2024 Tour Series stamp on a speed 9 overstable control driver with a flat top that Discraft built to slice through weather rather than get pushed around by it.
Flight Numbers: 9 / 4 / 0 / 3
Z FLX blends Elite Z's long-term durability with a softer, more flexible feel, so the disc sits comfortably in the hand without losing the overstability that makes the Raptor reliable. It grips well in the cold and holds its flight through years of play, unlike base plastic that tends to soften and turn neutral.
The flat top makes this one of the most comfortable forehand drivers Discraft makes, and backhand throwers get a dependable fade on every release. Some describe it as a faster Zone, and that comparison holds up: same overstable manners, more speed and distance. It is not a beginner disc. Big arms and forehand-dominant players get the most out of it, especially into a headwind where it holds a line lighter drivers cannot.
Looking for the same flight with less fade? The ESP Raptor Reaper Edition softens the finish slightly and grips better in warm weather. Want the same mold in a different colorway? The Z Line Fly Dye Raptor shares the exact flight. See every version in the Raptor collection.
