The Discraft Z Swirl Thrasher distance driver is a high-speed driver with an easy-going turn, molded in Z Swirl plastic. It's built for lower arm speeds chasing maximum distance, and it's at its best on max-distance drives. This listing is the Missy Gannon release of the Thrasher. Missy Gannon is Team Discraft's Co-Captain.

Z Swirl Plastic

Z Swirl is Discraft's fan-favorite swirled version of Z plastic. Each disc has one-of-a-kind swirl patterns, and the blend adds a tackier grip on top of Z's durability. It's a tour-tough plastic with a striking look, and it's a frequent choice for Team Discraft Tour Series releases.

The Mold

The Thrasher is a high-speed driver with an easy-going turn for maximum distance at lower arm speeds.

Stability

The Thrasher is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. This run is rated 12/5/0/2, with a little less turn than the standard 12/5/-3/2. Its understability helps players without huge arm speed, while big arms can use it for turnovers and rollers.
