[Discraft] Official Discraft ZONE Thread

Call me old fashioned, but I still go for regular ESP. Feels right forehand and backhand.

Mine are pretty darn FLX'y and grippy and dead flat. Light blue and glow are the colors I received.

I second bhadella on this.

Mine is dead flat like TI FLX 2015 Ledgestone Zones.

Very flexy, more flexy than the TI FLX or Crystal FLX from the 2015 Ledgestone

After a good scrub mine has been very grippy, an excellent disc if you like soft and grippy.

It sticks where is lands and does not roll away.

Mine does not have near the LS fade that my 2015 TI FLX Zones have, it is much longer and straighter, more of a forward fade but I could have received a one off.

I actally like it very much for straight approach duties or shorter drives.

I like the old fashioned ESP puddle topped Zones as well.

I bag one and use it regularly for when
I need a strong LS fade

Chalk another vote for the puddle top ESP. That thing has been a tank in my bag, flight unchanged, for 6 years now. I have thrown fh rollers, flex shots, hammers, you name it. And it flies the exact same as day one. Though a recent edition that compliments it amazingly imo is the Jawbreaker. Those two cover pretty much everything 200ish and in for me.

All of the Glows ESP FLX that I have are dead flat.

Are you familiar with the 2016 Ledgestone Z Glo Zones and if so, how do these compare, glow-wise?

I'll check, I have one of last years in my Zones bin but haven't ever tried it for a comparison.

My esp glo and z glo are both board flat

The z glo is not as OS as any of my esp zones. I want thrilled.

 

[discerdoo]

Picked up a couple of the ESP FLX Glo and played a round yesterday evening. Love the grip/flex and I'd say they officially kicked the Xsoft Zone out of my bag for stick approach shots. It flew plenty OS, not quite TI OS but close.

I gotta quit buying these things, I have more Zones than any other disc at this point.

I also prefer stiff puddle top ESP Zones. Been having a hard time finding them though. Keep coming across these gummy ESP Zones or ones with some dome.

Picked up a black special edition Z zone in a trade... haven't tossed it yet. How do they compare in stability to the puddletop ESPs and the jawbreakers?

I'd wager, most OS to least: Puddletop ESP > LE Z > Jawbreaker

I have an old clear Cryztal Z (when that plastic was stiffer) and the Ledgestone Z Glo from last year, which I'm basing my assumptions on. I drive with my Zones and put them on anny flexes, but never lay super hard into them, so I've never found the differences between stabilities too varying to screw up my intended lines.

Another question for you, if you happen to know. The other day at the shop they had a few puddletop D zones - are these more or less OS than a typical flat D zone?

Never had one, but the consensus on here is that puddled is always more OS, I think in any given plastic.

That is my experience. But, I think pretty obviously, even a puddle topped Pro D will not be as overstable as any of the premium plastics I have thrown.

 

[F. Howl]

Even if it were, it wouldn't stay that way long. I've heard Pro D Challengers are the most stable, and I know from experience that Z FLX were flippier than Jawbreaker Challys, so I think it might be a mold to mold thing.

Certainly that could be true. I have not tried Jawbreaker Zones or some of the various premium offerings. I actually love Pro D as it seems to season slowly for the Zone, but does change over time. My single most thrown disc (other than putting Wizards) is my super beat Pro D. Just a great mold and plastic combination.

My buddy just hit 3 aces in one day with a z zone. So, yeah, they are pretty cool discs...

What? How long were they? That's nuts.

 

[jdw80550]

155, 188, and 204 at Bucksnort in Pine, CO. Shorties, but super tight and technical. I took a 4 on two them. :/

 

[Heartedale]

is that true of most ppls experience that a puddle top is the most os zone? side note I cant wait until my jawbreakers can flip up from a FH throw.
