by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-RESP-THR (REF1853-9)
Description
The Discraft Recycled ESP Thrasher distance driver is a high-speed driver with an easy-going turn, molded in Recycled ESP plastic. It's built for lower arm speeds chasing maximum distance, and it's at its best on max-distance drives. If you're shopping for a dependable Thrasher for your bag, this Recycled ESP run is a great place to start.
Recycled ESP Plastic
Recycled ESP is Discraft's take on ESP made with recycled material. You get a grippy, durable feel for everyday play while putting reclaimed plastic back on the course.
The Mold
The Thrasher is a high-speed driver with an easy-going turn for maximum distance at lower arm speeds.
Stability
The Thrasher 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. Its understability helps players without huge arm speed, while big arms can use it for turnovers and rollers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 12 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -3 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
