[Discraft] Get Buzzzed!

[jskatt21]

Just curious if it is best to go with Z or ESP, or something else?

Personally every Buzz I've thrown, I've liked. Some will tell you X run of X stamp of X plastic might fly 10' further than X plastic, but **** it. A buzz is a buzz. Pick whichever plastic feels good in your hand and offers the grip and durability you want.

I prefer Z Glo Buzz, or Z in general. It's so tough, and I'm happy with the grip it offers. I use a pink FLX in the winter because it's easier to find in the snow.

the Z buzzz was given to me with two other discs when i started playing, and ive used it every single round ever since. its one of my favorite discs in the bag

I have thrown all the buzzzes I can find- an esp buzz, halloween esp/flx, flx, pro d, elite z, and elite x. I like them all. Really, depends on a few things:

1) How many are you going to be carrying around? If you want one that will just last a super long time, go with Elite Z.

2) If you DO want to carry around a few for differ shots:
- Pro D/Elite-X breaks in nice for long turnover shots.
-Elite Z/FLX/ESP are pretty good at being stable with a slight fading finish
-The heaviest one you can find in Z/FLX/ESP will yield you the best wind fighting disc.

All in all, I've loved every buzz I've had- from the trashed Pro D's to the super stable Z I have.

I guess the thing I am looking for the most is durability and grip. The reason I ask is:
1) I primarily use Innova and am only familiar with their plastic types, not so familiar on how they compare to Discraft.
2) I currently have a Pro-D Buzzz that I really like, but is beat to hell. Still love to throw it and will continue to do so, just wanted to get a newer one for more options.

Z = Slightly grippier feeling Champion
ESP = Star
FLX = Flexible Star plastic with slightly enhanced grip and is still just as durable as ESP, not at all like R-Pro bosses
D = DX

If I were you I'd go with a Z so you have a bomb proof Buzz that will be stable for a long time, and compliment it with the less stable D you have. That is unless you prefer Star to champ, then pick ESP or FLX.

Glo Z

Glo Z

I second this, I have them in all plastics and this is the one I throw the most, FLX comes in 2nd though.

 

[ZBoazMobster]

I've only thrown CryZtal. Untill last week I bought two used Buzzz's from PIA. One Z, and one X. I'm actually impressed with the X.

 

[numbernine]

Hard to beat the Cryztal plastic if you want grip and durability. Nice and tacky feeling, but built like a tank.

I'll list my favorite plastic from favorite to least (I carry 5 Buzzz molds in my bag):

-Cryztal
- ESP FLX
- Supercolor ESP
- Elite Z
- Elite X
- Pro D

Definitely get your mitts on them before you buy though.

i know a number of people who prefer star over champion for innova but prefer Z over ESP for discraft.

 

[Mike C]

Yeah I had some ESP Buzz's but I never got attached to them. My Glo Z I've loved from the first throw. I don't know what it is about Discraft's Z plastic but it seems pretty grippy for champ style plastic. Especially a Dirty Dozens stamped Z Stalker I have, that disc is sweet.

 

[Animage]

Regular Z.

Flat Z Buzzz and I can play anywhere

 

[Mike C]

I'll second that. I used to even prefer my Buzz for putting compared to the putters I had tried in my first month of playing

I have extensively thrown the X, Z and FLX. The X is good and beats into a super-glidey, slightly understable disc. The Z and X basically start out at the same perfectly balanced stability, but the Z never really loses it. If you've thrown a Champ Teebird, the Z Buzz basically beats in the same-- it never really loses its high speed stability, it just loses its fade.

I tried the FLX out for quite a bit cause I found that it ricochets less than Z (it also holds up just as well) and a lot of the holes I use the Buzzz on are tightly wooded, but in the end I went back to the Z. The FLX was slightly more overstable than the the X or Z and a bit less glidey. It made it harder to hit those smooth anny lines and would stall out where the X or Z would have continued on the line. I never felt confident using the FLX for anything over 250' because I was afraid it would start to fade before it reached that point, unlike a Z Buzzz.

I got the ESp FLX because that just makes the most sense. It is a midrange disc that I would tend to use near trees and such, therefore knowing it will get used and abused. I have nailed trees head on with it and it bend and bounces off with no problem. I have gotten comfortable with the grip and since I play in very cold weather sometimes, I know it will stay somewhat flexible. I also have a x and z plastics in Buzzz mold, but really dont use them much.

The Z-Buzzz is built like a tank, will last forever....
I prefer the CryZtal Z Buzzz for the fact that it L-A-S-E-R----->STRAIGHT

 

[jkdisc]

esp flx because on mid shots it doesn't usually roll away

 

[stsren]

I have thrown Z, CryZtal, ESP and FLX.
I liked them all (threw my CryZtal the most until I lost it).
Can't go wrong.

 

[jblough]

I've never thrown an ESP, but all of the other plastics have yielded good results. The FLX ones are sweet in cold weather climates during the winter.
