The Complete Discraft Ares Collection

Unleash maximum power and dominate the fairway! Welcome to the Discraft Ares Collection. Developed as a marquee addition to the Paul McBeth signature lineup, the Ares is a high-speed distance driver built to handle extreme arm speeds. Originally nicknamed the "Zeus 2.0" during its testing phase, it was officially approved by the PDGA in 2026 to offer a more stable, torque-resistant alternative to the original Zeus.

Flight Dynamics & Profile

The Ares operates on official flight numbers of 12 | 6 | -1 | 2. It requires substantial arm speed to unlock its full distance potential, but rewards power throwers with an incredibly long, shapeable flight.

What the Ares brings to your game:

  • Upgraded Glide: Features an aerodynamically modified wing profile designed specifically to generate massive lift and incredible downfield carry.
  • Dependable Stability: Offers a subtle, workable high-speed drift when thrown hard, but finishes with a forward-pushing 2-fade rather than a sharp, dumping meat-hook.
  • Ares vs. Zeus: While it shares a very comfortable hand feel with the Zeus, the Ares was retooled with increased torque resistance to handle aggressive, maximum-power releases and fight headwinds more reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Discraft Ares

What is the difference between the Discraft Ares and the Zeus?

While they feel very similar in the hand, the Ares is essentially the "Zeus 2.0." It was designed to be noticeably more stable and torque-resistant than the Zeus. If you find your Zeus flipping over too much in a headwind or when thrown with max power, the Ares will hold its line much more reliably.

Who should throw the Ares?

Because it is a 12-speed driver with excellent torque resistance, the Ares is best suited for advanced players and power throwers. It acts as a reliable workhorse for massive flex shots and raw distance drives without the fear of rolling over.
