The Discraft Z Zombee is a stable fairway driver molded in Z plastic, sitting in the gap between a fast midrange and a true fairway driver, which is why Discraft built it for the 2012 Ace Race in the first place.

Flight Numbers: 6 / 4 / -1 / 1

Z is Discraft's hard, translucent plastic, slicker out of the box than ESP and a little less grippy until it picks up some wear. It is extremely durable and holds its flight numbers for a long time, which is why so many players keep an old Z disc in the bag as the one they trust most.

Thrown flat it holds a straight, tall flight and finishes with a predictable fade, closer to a cross between a Buzzz and a Stalker than a true driver. On a hyzer or anhyzer it responds cleanly to angle, which makes it a good disc for shaping shots around obstacles.

Good for beginners who want a driver that will not turn over unpredictably, and useful for more experienced players as a control option when a full-speed driver would overshoot the target. It is an easy disc to throw straight the first time you pick it up.
