by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-ESP-CMT (REF257-4)
Description
The Discraft ESP Comet midrange is the legendary straight-flying approach midrange, molded in ESP plastic. It's built for anyone who wants one trustworthy disc, and it's at its best on straight 300-foot lines and approaches. If you're shopping for a dependable Comet 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 Comet in ESP will hold its flight well over time while giving you more grip than Discraft's harder Z plastic.
The Mold
If you own only one disc, Discraft says this is it. The legendary Comet is a super-accurate, straight-flying approach midrange that's like a favorite pair of old shoes: trustworthy and comfortable. Need to go 300 feet on a straight line? Reach for a Comet.
Stability
The Comet is neutral. Neutral discs fly straight and true with very little turn or fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with only a slight drift left as it slows down. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with a gentle drift right at the finish. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's an easy choice for beginners and a reliable tool for experienced players.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 4 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
