by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-ESP-PPDRV (REF1920-7)
Description
The Discraft ESP Drive distance driver is Paige Pierce's 11-speed distance driver, molded in ESP plastic. It's built for players seeking maximum distance and precision, and it's at its best on long, consistent drives. This listing is the Paige Pierce release of the Drive. Paige Pierce is a 5x World Champion.
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 Drive in ESP will hold its flight well over time while giving you more grip than Discraft's harder Z plastic.
The Mold
The Drive is engineered for maximum distance and precision, delivering consistent, reliable flight paths and exceptional handling. Designed with 5x World Champion Paige Pierce, it offers glide with just enough stability to hold the line under torque.
Stability
The Drive 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 | 11 | Distance-driver speed that needs good arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Discraft Drive good for beginners?
Yes. The Drive's predictable flight makes it easy to trust as you learn.
Is the Discraft Drive overstable?
Not really. The Drive is stable, rated 11/5/-1/2, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between ESP and Z plastic?
ESP is opaque and swirled with a gummy-yet-firm, tacky grip. Z is harder, translucent, and glossy, with maximum durability that holds its original flight for years.
Does the Paige Pierce Drive fly differently than the standard Drive?
No. The Paige Pierce release uses the same Drive mold and is rated 11/5/-1/2, just like the standard Drive. What's different is the stamp and edition, so you get the same flight with a collectible look. Plastic can still change the feel and grip slightly.
What disc is similar to the Discraft Drive?
The Discraft Scorch (11/6/-2/2) is a glidier 11-speed with a bit more turn.
How far does the Discraft Drive fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 375 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
