by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-ZDYE-RAP (REF1580-10)
Description
The Discraft Fly Dye Raptor distance driver is a dependable overstable control driver, molded in Fly Dye plastic. It's built for players who value consistency when they throw with confidence, and it's at its best on hyzers, flex lines, forehands, and skip shots. If you're shopping for a dependable Raptor for your bag, this Fly Dye run is a great place to start.
Z Fly Dye Plastic
Fly Dye discs are Discraft's durable Z plastic finished with vibrant, colorful dye designs, so every Raptor stands out in your bag. You get Z's long-lasting durability and stable flight with a striking look and a unique grip.
The Mold
The Raptor stands up to aggressive backhands, forehands, and windy conditions with a predictable finish. From controlled hyzers and flex lines to skip shots that need to move with purpose, it's built for consistency.
Stability
The Raptor 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.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 9 | Distance-driver speed that needs good arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
