Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-PP-ESPBZO (REF1489-22)
Description
The Discraft ESP Buzzz OS midrange is the overstable version of the Buzzz, molded in ESP plastic. It's built for players who want dependable overstability without giving up control, and it's at its best on torque-resistant backhands, forehands, and windy shots. This listing is the Paige Pierce release of the Buzzz OS. Paige Pierce is a 5x World Champion.
ESP Plastic
ESP is Discraft's premier opaque, swirled plastic. It balances a gummy-yet-firm, tacky grip with high durability, which makes it a favorite for all-around everyday play. Your Buzzz OS in ESP will hold its flight well over time while giving you more grip than Discraft's harder Z plastic.
The Mold
Built for players who want dependable overstability without sacrificing control, the Buzzz OS delivers a torque-resistant flight with minimal turn and a strong, confident finish. It handles powerful backhands, forehands, and demanding conditions.
Stability
The Buzzz OS is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
