by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-Z-SRGSS (REF783-21)
Description
The Discraft Z Line Surge SS distance driver is the straighter-flying Surge, molded in Z Line plastic. It's built for players who want glide and control at slower speeds, and it's at its best on straight, glidey drives. If you're shopping for a dependable Surge SS for your bag, this Z Line run is a great place to start.
Z Plastic
Z is Discraft's flagship hard, translucent, and glossy plastic. It offers maximum durability, resists wear and tear, and holds its original flight stability for years. Discraft's recent Z refresh gives it an enhanced look and feel while keeping the same trusted flight, so your Surge SS will fly the same way for a long time.
The Mold
The Surge SS delivers all the glide players expect from a Surge, with a straighter edge that enhances control at slower speeds.
Stability
The Surge SS is stable-to-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. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
