Discraft Jawbreaker Buzzz (Ledgestone)
The Discraft Buzzz in Jawbreaker plastic is this year's Ledgestone Open stamp on Discraft's most bagged midrange, a soft rubbery blend wrapped around the same dead straight mold that a huge share of disc golf bags already carry in some plastic or another.
Flight Numbers: 5 / 4 / -1 / 1
Jawbreaker is Discraft's grippiest blend, a stretchy rubber feel closer to putter plastic than to ESP or Z. It stays tacky in the cold and wet, it does not harden or go overstable with wear the way premium plastics do, and a beat in Jawbreaker Buzzz still throws almost identically to a fresh one. That makes it the plastic to reach for if you play a lot of early morning or late fall rounds and want grip you can count on.
Release it flat and it holds dead straight before a short, polite fade closes it out. On a hyzer it stays on hyzer, and into a headwind it will not turn over on you the way a flippier midrange would. New players use it to learn what a clean, honest release looks like, and advanced players keep one in the bag as the disc every other midrange gets measured against. Forehand throwers like the shallow rim and small diameter in the hand.
Prefer a firmer plastic that keeps its stability longer? The Discraft ESP Buzzz beats in slower and holds an overstable flight into its second season. Want more distance out of the same straight shape? The Discraft Z Buzzz is stiffer and a touch faster off the hand. See the rest in the Buzzz collection.
