Discraft Z Scorch
5
This First Run Z Scorch is Discraft's original Elite Z release of the Scorch mold, an understable distance driver with a glidey, easy S curve flight that beginners and big arms both get real distance out of.
Flight Numbers: 11 / 6 / -2 / 2
Elite Z is Discraft's stiffer, translucent premium plastic. It has a slight give that grips well without turning slick when your hands sweat, resists tree strikes without denting, and holds its flight numbers for a long time before it beats in. These first run discs were some of the earliest Scorches made in Z, so the stamp and rim mold reflect that early production run.
On a full power rip it turns over early and holds that turnover through the flight before a moderate fade closes it out near the ground, which is the S curve the mold is known for. New players get real, easy distance out of it because the turn does the work instead of arm speed, and more experienced players hyzer flip it for a long, controlled line that still finishes with a dependable fade. It handles headwinds reasonably well for how understable it is, since the fade at the end fights back against any turn the wind adds.
Want the same S curve with less flex and a lighter feel? The Discraft Z Lite Scorch is easier to get up to speed. Prefer more grip? The Discraft ESP Scorch is worth comparing. Shop the Scorch collection.
