Discraft Disc Golf Holyn Handley 2025 Tour Series Z Swirl Vulture 10/5/0/2 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Discraft Z Swirl Vulture distance driver is Paul McBeth's overstable control driver, molded in Z Swirl plastic. It's built for players who want superior control in any condition, and it's at its best on controlled drives in any condition. This listing is the Holyn Handley 2025 Tour Series release of the Vulture. Holyn Handley was the 2025 DGPT Player of the Year.
Z Swirl Plastic
Z Swirl is Discraft's fan-favorite swirled version of Z plastic. Each disc has one-of-a-kind swirl patterns, and the blend adds a tackier grip on top of Z's durability. It's a tour-tough plastic with a striking look, and it's a frequent choice for Team Discraft Tour Series releases.
The Mold
The Vulture is one of the newest additions to Paul McBeth's signature series. After winning his 6th world title, Paul chose it for its crucial role on the course: an overstable fairway driver with superior control in any condition.
Stability
The Vulture 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. This run is rated 10/2/0/2, with less glide than the standard 10/5/0/2. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 10 | Distance-driver speed that needs good arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 2 | Very little glide, so it drops and stops near its target. |
| 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. |
