Description
Celebrate Michael Johansen with this signature MJ Icon Series ESP FLX Comet!
A longtime favorite in MJ's game, the Comet rewards smooth form with effortless glide and exceptional line-shaping ability, while ESP FLX adds a softer, more flexible feel in the hand. From controlled turnovers to straight shots and technical wooded lines, this Icon Edition highlights a mold that has become closely tied to one of the game's smoothest players.
The Discraft ESP FLX Comet midrange is the legendary straight-flying approach midrange, molded in ESP FLX plastic. It's built for anyone who wants one trustworthy disc, and it's at its best on straight 300-foot lines and approaches. This listing is the Michael Johansen Icon Series Limited Edition release of the Comet.
ESP FLX Plastic
ESP FLX combines the soft, grippy feel of ESP with the flex and durability of FLX. It's ideal for cold weather and wet conditions, and Discraft says these discs maintain their structure and stability all year long. That makes this Comet a great pick for Michigan winters.
The Mold
If you own only one disc, Discraft says this is it. The legendary Comet is a super-accurate, straight-flying approach midrange that's like a favorite pair of old shoes: trustworthy and comfortable. Need to go 300 feet on a straight line? Reach for a Comet.
Stability
The Comet is neutral. Neutral discs fly straight and true with very little turn or fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with only a slight drift left as it slows down. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with a gentle drift right at the finish. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's an easy choice for beginners and a reliable tool for experienced players.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 4 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
