SKU: DG-DC-25MGZJ-CAPTHR (REF2233-8)
Description
The Discraft Z Jawbreaker Captain's Thrasher distance driver is Missy Gannon's controlled-distance version of the Thrasher, molded in Z Jawbreaker plastic. It's built for power players and finesse throwers alike, and it's at its best on controlled distance with torque resistance. This listing is the Missy Gannon release of the Captain's Thrasher. Missy Gannon is Team Discraft's Co-Captain.
Z Jawbreaker Plastic
Z Jawbreaker brings Jawbreaker's bold, speckled look and tactile grip to a Z-based blend. Discraft notes some runs don't have the FLX characteristics of other Z Jawbreaker releases, but they still deliver a tactile feel and bold swirl patterns that make every disc unique.
The Mold
Team Discraft Co-Captain Missy Gannon's annual release is built for controlled distance and torque resistance. It's a workhorse that shines in the hands of power players and finesse throwers alike.
Stability
The Captain's Thrasher 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's best for intermediate to advanced players with good arm speed.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 12 | 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 | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Discraft Captain's Thrasher good for beginners?
Not as a first driver. At 12 speed, the Captain's Thrasher needs good arm speed to fly as intended.

Not really. The Captain's Thrasher is stable, rated 12/5/0/2, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.

No. The Missy Gannon release uses the same Captain's Thrasher mold and is rated 12/5/0/2, just like the standard Captain's Thrasher. 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.

The Discraft Thrasher (12/5/-3/2) is the more understable original.
How far does the Discraft Captain's Thrasher fly?
