The Discraft Thrasher in ESP plastic carries Missy Gannon's 2023 Tour Series stamp, and it is often the first driver that shows a newer player what a real distance driver flight feels like. It is fast, understable, and more forgiving than a lot of 12 speeds.

Flight Numbers: 12 / 5 / -3 / 2

ESP is Discraft's grippy premium plastic, tacky enough to hold onto in the cold and durable enough to survive early mis-releases into trees. It takes a while to beat in, and once it does the turn softens just slightly while the fade stays dependable.

Thrown on a hyzer release it flips up to flat and holds that line far longer than a flippier driver would, which is exactly the shot that teaches new players what 300 feet feels like. Thrown flatter with more speed it turns and keeps turning before fading back at the end, similar in feel to a shallower-rimmed Wraith. It also throws clean anhyzer lines for players who already have some arm speed.

Good for beginners looking for their first real distance driver and for forehand throwers who want an understable option that will not flip into a roller by accident. Bigger arms can still get real distance out of it once they dial in the release angle.

Want the same flight without the Tour Series stamp? The ESP Thrasher is the standard version. Prefer a firmer, longer-lasting plastic? The Z Thrasher holds its shape longer. See the rest of the lineup at the Thrasher collection.
