by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-ESPTSWL-WASP (REF1803-9)
Description
The Discraft ESP Wasp midrange is an overstable, low-profile midrange with a large bead, molded in ESP plastic. It's built for players who want full-power straight flights or technical flex lines, and it's at its best on straight-to-stable drives and flex lines. This listing is the Chris Dickerson release of the Wasp. Chris Dickerson is a 2x PDGA Major 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 Wasp in ESP will hold its flight well over time while giving you more grip than Discraft's harder Z plastic.
The Mold
The Wasp can handle full-power throws for straight-to-stable flights, or be used at lower speeds for technical flex lines that end with a consistent fade.
Stability
The Wasp is stable-to-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.

| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |

FAQ
Is the Discraft Wasp good for beginners?
It's better as a utility disc. The Wasp's overstable finish is great for wind and control, but newer players will see a strong fade.
Is the Discraft Wasp overstable?
Yes. The Wasp is stable-to-overstable, rated 5/3/0/2, so it resists turning over and finishes with a dependable fade.
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 Chris Dickerson Wasp fly differently than the standard Wasp?
No. The Chris Dickerson release uses the same Wasp mold and is rated 5/3/0/2, just like the standard Wasp. 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.

How far does the Discraft Wasp fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 275 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
