Born from a special manufacturing collaboration with Discraft, the Vessel breathes new life into a rare piece of disc golf history. Its mold is a direct revival of the Discraft Ringer-top Zone GT prototype from the legendary \"Zone GT Battle Pack\" event. Thought Space partner-acquired the tooling to permanentize this unique design, pairing an ultra-shallow lower profile with a distinct thumbtrack (GT) groove along the top rim. The result is a highly dependable utility thrower that sits lower in the hand than a traditional Zone and finishes its flight with an even sharper, more aggressive biting fade.

Because of the unique cooling properties of this blend, Vex runs produce a wide variety of eye-catching visual styles, ranging from glassy and clear to shimmery, pearlescent, and beautifully swirled finishes. In terms of performance, Vex provides a firm, stiff structure that feels incredibly solid under thumb pressure, making it highly torque-resistant while holding its out-of-the-box flight characteristics through months of heavy fairway use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Vessel Compares Across Blends \u0026amp; Molds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVs a Standard Discraft Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Vessel shares the same overstable identity but incorporates the specialized Ringer-GT thumb groove.

Born from a unique manufacturing partnership with Discraft, the Vessel brings a piece of rare disc golf history straight to your bag. The mold is a direct revival of the Discraft Ringer-top Zone GT prototype that originally debuted during the Battle Pack testing rounds. Thought Space acquired the tooling to give this design a permanent release, pairing a shallow profile with a distinct thumbtrack (GT) groove along the top rim. Reviewers note that it sits lower in the hand than a traditional stock Zone, while delivering an even sharper, more aggressive biting fade at the end of its flight.
