The Discraft Metallic Z Roach is a Ledgestone 2022 exclusive stamp on Discraft's stable, beadless putt and approach disc, pressed in a shimmering Metallic Z blend that will not be reprinted once this run sells out. It carries the same flight the Roach is known for, dressed up for a tournament run.

Flight Numbers: 2 / 4 / 0 / 1

Metallic Z is stiffer and more durable than a putter blend like Jawbreaker, with a slight shimmer baked into the plastic. It takes longer to beat in and holds its stable, low profile shape through years of chain hits, which matters if you plan to throw this one instead of just displaying it.

The Roach flies straight to whatever angle it is released on, whether that is a flat push putt, a hyzer line into the basket, or an anhyzer bend around a tree off the tee. Its shallow rim and lack of dome make it comfortable for players who find deep dish putters awkward in the hand. It is a good driving putter for straight upshots and short drives as much as it is a circle putter, and the low fade means misses tend to stay close rather than skip past.

Need a putter that grips better in the cold? The base Jawbreaker Roach is tackier in winter conditions. Want more heft with a premium feel? Try the Big Z Roach. See the whole Roach lineup.
