Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-ZLT-PPPAS (REF1947-7)
Description
The Discraft Z Lite Passion fairway driver is Paige Pierce's moderately understable fairway driver, molded in Z Lite plastic. It's built for players who want smooth, controllable flights, and it's at its best on smooth drives with a gentle turn. This listing is the Paige Pierce release of the Passion. Paige Pierce is a 5x World Champion.
Z Lite Plastic
Z Lite is a lighter-weight version of Z plastic designed for players who need easier distance or lower gram weights. It keeps Z's durability and stability with a comfortable grip and slightly softer feel, making it easier to throw your Passion far with less effort.
The Mold
The Passion is a moderately understable fairway driver, exceptional for smooth, controllable flights with a gentle turn and mild fade. It's ideal for players who want to shape throws with precision.
Stability
The Passion is 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.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 8 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
