by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-ESPFLX-DRONE (REF2195-1)
Description
The Discraft ESP FLX Drone midrange is a dependably overstable midrange, molded in ESP FLX plastic. It's built for players who need a mid that finishes on target, and it's at its best on forehands, forced flex lines, and approaches. This listing is the Classic Reissue release of the Drone.
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 Drone a great pick for Michigan winters.
The Mold
The Drone delivers a torque-resistant flight with minimal turn and a commanding fade at the end of every throw. It's a trusted option for backhands, controlled forehands, forced flex lines, and confident approaches that need to finish on target.
Stability
The Drone 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.
Flight Numbers

| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 1 | Positive turn, so it resists turning over and starts fading early. |
| Fade | 4 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
