by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-NKSS-ESP (REF416-60)
Description
The Discraft ESP Nuke SS distance driver is the understable Nuke, molded in ESP plastic. It's built for players who want hyzer-flips, S-curves, and big turnovers, and it's at its best on hyzer-flips and long turnovers. If you're shopping for a dependable Nuke SS for your bag, this ESP run is a great place to start.
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 Nuke SS in ESP will hold its flight well over time while giving you more grip than Discraft's harder Z plastic.
The Mold
More understable than the Nuke, the Nuke SS produces long hyzer-flips and extended S-shaped flights for maximum carry. Bigger arms can use it for long turnovers and rollers.
Stability
The Nuke SS is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. Its understability helps players without huge arm speed, while big arms can use it for turnovers and rollers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 13 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -3 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
