[Discraft] Most OS Zone?

[joshuajames]

Was there anything notably different about the LE Pro-D Zones?

 

[tbird888]

As far as I know, the only Zone that is "different" is the black prototype that either has the team stamp or a Texas tourney stamp. They all have a Prototype ghost stamp on the bottom too.

Concave Glo Z - OS as it gets.

 

[pablo.diablo]

I think concave Cryztal is plenty OS. Way more than the flatter Z's.

I think I posted this somewhere else but here it is again in case you guys missed it. Zone is bagged, and I like it a lot. Still getting used to it, but it's a keeper.

Oh, and as far as distance goes I was able to get them 350' BH using a flat throw without any trouble. FH I think was more like 280-300'.

^That confirms it you are an alien!! Welcome to the zone!

Find a flat Z or ESP, and you should have no problem finding more distance. You'll lose some of the fade though obviously.

I've always got my Ions if I need more D

My pop top D-Zone, blue, 169g was very overstable. I put it on the kitchen counter upside down and set a small pot of hot, not quite boiling, water in the middle and let it cool. I was hoping for flat, but now the flight plate is slightly concave and the disc is very straight. I won't do that again.

 

[Ted Bratton]

Yeah the concave ones in my experience have been noticeably more OS

 

[DiscJunkee]

Today I just got 2 zones, a light red ESp and a cryztal. Both 175. I was throwing into a mean headwind, probably 25+ gusts. The Esp stayed straight at best but I got the cryztal to flip a bit when thrown flat. with any hyzer at all both discs would still fade left.

Im digging them already. You can rip on these things, fun to throw.

 

[theabacus]

...is a ESP Zone basically a longer (more glide?) Pig?

 

[mattc]

I just bought a crystal zone assuming it would the most stable.
but even if its not, I now have my first crystal disc, and I love the feel of it.

ESP all day

 

[AcidRain]

Have had the following

ESP Zone = Flat
Z Zone = Flat
Glo Zone = Concave
FLX Cryztal Zone = Flat

Out of all, the two I like the most is the Glo "cause I had a hand in getting Discraft to make it" and the FLX Zone cause it feels Great.

 

[AcidRain]

"cause I had a hand in getting Discraft to make it"

Was expecting someone to make a smarta** comment about this lol

 

[bluedodger]

Would a 168g zone be less OS than a max weight one? Would I have to power down in order to get the massive fade of a max weight zone?

I use a 172 and 173 ESP Zone and my buddy has a 168g ESP zone. I can tell you his is every bit as OS as mine and can be thrown at full power and still have that nice reliable fade at the end.

Heavier weight = More wind resistant

 

[steve a]

Heavier weight = More mass

ftfy

Wind resistance is caused more by the stability than the weight. I have had lighter zones that are more overstable than max weight ones and they handle the wind better. All part of the inconsistency of golf discs.
