by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-BZPMAN (REF754-24)
Description
The Discraft Big Z Anax distance driver is Paul McBeth's overstable, control-focused driver, molded in Big Z plastic. It's built for players who want precision and a reliable finish, and it's at its best on controlled drives and dependable fades. This listing is the Paul McBeth Signature Series release of the Anax. Paul McBeth is a 6x PDGA World Champion.
Big Z Plastic
Big Z is a variant of standard Z plastic with an opaque appearance, a slightly softer feel, and distinct, oversized artwork stamps. It offers durability, excellent grip, and consistent releases, so your Anax looks as good as it flies.
The Mold
Discraft describes the Anax as a strong, overstable driver with the sharp rim of a distance driver but the comfort, thinner rim, and precision of a fairway driver. It's incredibly consistent and a staple in Paul McBeth's bag.
Stability
The Anax is 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.
