Discraft Disc Golf 2026 First Run Captain's Caliber Z Jawbreaker - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Discraft Z Jawbreaker Captain's Caliber putter is Seppo Paju's control-focused putt and approach disc, molded in Z Jawbreaker plastic. It's built for players who want confident, controlled approach lines, and it's at its best on controlled approaches with a purposeful finish. This listing is the First Run release of the Captain's Caliber.
Z Jawbreaker Plastic
Z Jawbreaker brings Jawbreaker's bold, speckled look and tactile grip to a Z-based blend. Discraft notes some runs don't have the FLX characteristics of other Z Jawbreaker releases, but they still deliver a tactile feel and bold swirl patterns that make every disc unique.
The Mold
The Captain's Caliber brings a tour-level feel to a disc built around control, confidence, and clean shot execution. Its dependable flight rewards commitment, giving you a reliable option for shaping controlled lines with enough stability to finish with purpose.
Stability
The Captain's Caliber is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the 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 suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 4 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
