Discraft Heat
The Complete Discraft Heat Collection Hub
The Heat is one of the easiest fairway drivers to throw far. It started as Discraft's 2014 Ace Race disc and became a favorite for newer players looking for distance and for experienced players who need a hyzer flip or roller. It glides forever and turns over gently. Shop more fairway drivers in our Disc Golf Fairway Drivers Collection or browse the full Discraft Discs Collection.
Understanding the Flight Dynamics & Stability
At 9 | 6 | -3 | 1, the Heat has real speed but a small 1.9 cm rim, so it's easier to throw than most 9 speeds. The 6 glide keeps it in the air a long time, the -3 turn lets it drift on a flat throw, and the 1 fade gives it a soft finish. Slower arms get a straight flight, and faster arms get a long turnover.
What this collection brings to your game:
- Distance for Every Arm: Newer players get real distance without having to throw it as hard as a distance driver.
- Hyzer Flips and Turnovers: Release it on hyzer and it stands up flat. Throw it hard and flat and it turns over and holds.
- Soft Landings: The 1 fade means it finishes gently instead of skipping far, and it makes a great roller.
Choose the Right Heat Plastic
Each plastic and run offers a different feel and performance profile:

- Discraft ESP Heat - Grippy and opaque, it holds well in the hand and seasons a little faster.
- Discraft Big Z Heat - Pearly, durable plastic with the big Heat stamp. A little grippier than Z Line.
- Discraft Mega Glo Heat - Same mold and flight numbers in bright glow plastic, made for night rounds.
- Discraft Jawbreaker Z FLX Heat - The 2026 Ledgestone run in flexible, grippy Jawbreaker Z FLX plastic.
- Discraft Hannah Huynh Tour Series Heat - Hannah Huynh's 2026 Tour Series in a special Titanium and Big Z blend.
How this Category Aligns on the Fairway
Throw the Heat on open holes and tailwind drives where you want max carry. Use it for hyzer flips through gaps in the woods and for long turnovers that bend right (for right-handed backhand). Lighter Heats, in the 160s, are even easier to get up to speed. Heavier ones, around 170 to 175 grams, hold their line a little better. Leave it in the bag for headwinds.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Discraft Heat
Do different plastics change how the Heat flies?
A little. Z Line, Big Z and the Titanium blend are the most durable, so they keep their flight the longest. ESP seasons a bit faster and gets more understable over time. Jawbreaker Z FLX is flexible and grippy and sits down when it lands.
What weight Heat should I get?
Newer players and slower arms should look at 160 to 170 grams, which are easier to get up to speed. Players with more power usually throw 170 to 175 grams for a bit more control.
Is the Discraft Heat good for beginners?
Yes. It's one of the best fairway drivers for newer players because it gives a long, straight flight without much power. Experienced players keep one for hyzer flips, turnovers and rollers.
