Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-AGZLT-MAC (REF2096-3)
Description
The Discraft Z Lite Machete distance driver is a low-profile meathook driver, molded in Z Lite plastic. It's built for players who need predictable headwind control, and it's at its best on headwind drives, hyzers, and flex shots. This listing is the Aaron Gossage release of the Machete.
Z Lite Plastic
Z Lite is a lighter-weight version of Z plastic designed for players who need easier distance or lower gram weights. It keeps Z's durability and stability with a comfortable grip and slightly softer feel, making it easier to throw your Machete far with less effort.
The Mold
The Machete is built to slice through headwinds with unparalleled predictability. Use it with brute force to manage upwind shots, or like a scalpel for on-demand placement on a hyzer or flex shot.
Stability
The Machete 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.
