Created for expert players and windy conditions, the Nuke OS (Over Stable) is a super fast driver that rewards power throwers with insane distance potential. It will finish on a hyzer even in strong winds, and offers the most dependable consistency of any high speed driver on the market. In ESP plastic, Discraft's grippy premium plastic, it gives you a secure hold on every power throw.

Flight Numbers
At 13 | 4 | 0 | 4, the Nuke OS is one of the most overstable distance drivers Discraft makes. The 0 turn means it won't turn over even when you put a lot of power on it, the 4 glide keeps it moving without floating away, and the 4 fade gives it a hard, dependable finish to the left for right-handed backhand throwers. It has the same 2.5 cm wide rim as the Nuke, measures 21.2 cm across and 1.6 cm tall with a 1.2 cm rim depth, and was PDGA approved on June 9, 2011.

The ESP Nuke OS delivers:
- Wind Fighting: It holds its line in headwinds and crosswinds without turning over.
- Torque Resistance: Power forehands and hard backhands won't flip it, so you can throw it as hard as you want.
- Dependable Finish: The 4 fade means it always fades out hard at the end, so you know where it's going to land.
It excels at:
- Headwind drives
- Power forehands
- Spike hyzers and big hyzer lines
- Flex shots for power throwers
The ESP Plastic Advantage
ESP is Discraft's grippy premium plastic. It has a little more grip than Z Line plastic, it holds up to tree hits without getting too beat up, and it keeps the Nuke OS's overstable flight for a long time. That grip really helps on power forehands and in cold or damp weather. This page also has a lightweight 167 gram ESP Nuke OS from a Ledgestone solid color run, which is a little easier to get up to speed.
How the Nuke OS Fits in the Discraft Lineup
- Vs the Z Line Nuke OS: Same mold and flight numbers in Z Line plastic, the firmest Nuke OS we carry. It holds its stability the longest.
- Vs the Confetti Nuke OS: Same mold and flight numbers in Confetti plastic from Ezra Aderhold's Victory Edition run, with confetti flakes and a slightly softer feel.
- Vs the Super Flx Z Nuke OS: Same mold and flight numbers in Super Flx Z plastic. It's soft and flexible, so it skips less when it lands and stays grippy in the cold.
- Vs the Discraft Nuke: The Nuke (13 | 5 | -1 | 3) is the original. It has more glide and a little turn, so it goes farther on clean shots, and the Nuke OS is the one to grab for wind and power forehands.
- Vs the Discraft Nuke SS: The Nuke SS (13 | 5 | -3 | 3) is the understable version. It turns over for easy distance, so it's the opposite of the Nuke OS.
- Vs the Innova Firebird: The Firebird (9 | 3 | 0 | 4) is a slower overstable utility driver. The Nuke OS gives you that same dependable fade at full distance driver speed.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Discraft ESP Nuke OS
Who should throw the Nuke OS?
Power throwers and experienced players. It takes a lot of arm speed to get full distance out of it, and slower arm speeds will see it fade out early. If you're newer to the game or still building arm speed, the Nuke or Nuke SS will go farther for you.
How does ESP plastic change the Nuke OS?
ESP is a little grippier than Z Line with about the same durability, so you get a secure hold on power forehands and in cold or damp weather. It holds the Nuke OS's overstable flight for a long time before it starts to season in.
What's the difference between the Nuke and the Nuke OS?
They share the same 2.5 cm wide rim, but the Nuke OS is built to be a lot more overstable. The Nuke has a little turn and more glide for max distance, while the Nuke OS won't turn over and fades hard, so it's the one to grab for wind and power forehands.
