Unlock explosive, massive distance without needing professional arm speed! Welcome to the Discraft Nuke SS Collection. The Nuke SS (Super Straight) is a 13-speed maximum distance driver meticulously crafted to deliver the blistering velocity of the original Nuke rim to developing, intermediate, and lower-arm-speed players. Released as the understable counterpart in the legendary Nuke family, it functions as a highly accessible "distance machine" capable of launching full-flight S-curves with significantly less effort. Browse our live, real-time inventory below to pick your exact disc, and explore the full Discraft Discs Collection to round out your bag.
Flight Dynamics & Profile

What this collection brings to your game:
Intermediate Distance Machine: For players throwing 250 to 350 feet, it initiates a massive, high-glide S-curve that sweeps out wide over the fairway before recovering near the target line.
Advanced Utility: Big-arm throwers will find it too sensitive to crush flat on windy days, but it serves beautifully as a long-pushing tailwind driver or a go-to massive backhand roller disc.
Accessible Speed: It delivers the aerodynamic benefits of a 13-speed rim but uses a dramatic -3 turn to help players with slower arm speeds keep the disc flat and aloft longer.
Choose Your Nuke SS Plastic Blend
Because of its massive 2.5 cm rim, the cooling process during manufacturing heavily dictates the flight path of the Nuke SS across different polymer blends. Dial in your perfect stability with these premium options:
Z Line Plastic: The most overstable out-of-the-box configuration. It maintains excellent torque resistance, offers extreme durability, and slowly seasons into its true understable numbers.
ESP / ESP Swirl: Offers a gummier, highly comfortable premium grip. The ESP Nuke SS shows its understable characteristics instantly, making it perfect for smooth hyzer-flips right away.
Titanium (Ti): Features a smooth, pearlescent finish. Titanium runs typically yield the highest degree of glide and flex, pushing distance to the absolute maximum.
Mega Glo / Z Glo: Specifically engineered for night play. It tends to sit near the top of the stability spectrum, holding straight against subtle headwinds before executing a heavy fade.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Nuke SS
What does the "SS" stand for on the Nuke?
The "SS" stands for Super Straight, which in Discraft's lineup signifies a more understable, workable version of a mold. While the standard Nuke (13/5/-1/3) is highly overstable and requires professional arm speed, the Nuke SS (13/5/-3/3) features a dramatic high-speed turn. This makes the Nuke SS much more accessible for intermediate players seeking maximum S-curve distance.
Is the Nuke SS a good disc for beginners?
While it is significantly easier to throw than the standard Nuke, a 13-speed driver with a 2.5 cm rim is still generally too fast for absolute beginners. However, for developing players who have mastered 9-to-11 speed drivers and are looking to step up to their first max-rim distance driver, the Nuke SS is a phenomenal choice.
How do the plastics affect the flight of the Nuke SS?
Plastic choice is critical for the Nuke SS. If you want instant understability for easy hyzer-flips right out of the box, ESP is the best choice. If you want a disc that will resist turning over for a while and slowly beat into a bomber, the stiffer Z Line or Mega Glo plastics will provide the most out-of-the-box stability.
